Step-by-step guide to transitioning to planetary health diet

Siddhartha Jana

The Planetary Health Diet (PHD) encourages starting with small changes, such as adding more colorful fruits and vegetables to meals.

Swap refined grains for whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, and whole-grain bread.

Limit red meat to once a week and prioritize plant-based proteins like beans, lentils, and tofu.

Moderate dairy intake to one serving per day and explore plant-based milk alternatives.

Opt for healthy fats like olive oil, avocado, and nuts instead of unhealthy fats found in processed foods and red meat.

Avoid sugary drinks by choosing water and whole fruits.

Planning meals helps make healthier choices and avoid impulsive grocery buys.

Seek recipe inspiration from online resources and cookbooks that align with PHD principles.
