Main Street Vegan: Everything You Need to Know to Eat Healthfully and Live Compassionately in the Real World

by Victoria Moran, Adair Moran Narrated by Teri Barrington

Overview

Hollywood celebrities are doing it. Corporate moguls are doing it. But what about those of us living in the real world — and on a real budget?

Author and holistic health practitioner Victoria Moran started eating only plants nearly 30 years ago, raised her daughter, Adair, vegan from birth, and maintains a 60-pound weight loss. In Main Street Vegan, Moran offers a complete guide to making this dietary and lifestyle shift with an emphasis on practical "baby steps", proving you don't have to have a personal chef or lifestyle coach on speed dial to experience the physical and spiritual benefits of being a vegan.

This audiobook provides practical advice and inspiration for everyone — from Main Street to Wall Street and everywhere between.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly

Like her previous titles (Living a Charmed Life; Fat, Broke & Lonely No More!; etc.), Moran’s feisty, fun, and fearless guide to eating vegan on your own terms will win her many fans. A vegan decades before it was either a popular or practical choice, life/health coach Moran says she took baby steps toward a consistent, confident animal product–free lifestyle. She offers four methods and 40 such steps to help carnivores and vegetarians of every stripe—lacto (dairy), ovo (egg), lacto-ovo (dairy and egg), or pescetarian (fish) eaters—find superior health benefits from a plant-based diet while saving animals, protecting the environment, and fighting food-industry giants. Assuring readers that “being vegan is about conviction, not perfection,” she claims that the big picture of ending animal cruelty and ecological crisis trumps nutritional fine points. As a primer on veganism, her effort touches all of the basics. Those eager to lose weight, increase energy, and offset stress and aging while achieving optimum nutrition and not spending a lot of money on expensive organic ingredients will find numerous suggestions and easy recipes to help them reach their goals. As a comprehensive and highly motivating resource for upping the bar on quality of life, Moran’s book takes veganism to the next level. (June)
