An ideal whole food, plant-based diet emphasizes vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes, beans, seeds, and nuts.
It features unprocessed or minimally processed foods and excludes all animal products, including dairy, eggs, and fish.
A person following a healthy whole food, plant-based diet also strives to exclude all added oil, sugar, and salt.
