Definition of a Whole Food, Plant-Based Diet

An ideal whole food, plant-based diet emphasizes vegetables, fruits, grains, and legumes. Nuts, seeds, and avocados are used sparingly.

There is an emphasis on unprocessed or minimally processed foods, and all animal products, including dairy, eggs, and fish are excluded.

A person following a healthy whole food, plant-based regimen also strives to exclude all added oil and to use minimal amounts of added salt and sugar.
