Clean eating means focusing on natural, whole foods and avoiding heavily processed industrial products. While those who follow a vegan diet eliminate all animal-derived products, they often rely on substitute products promoted by the food industry that are meant to taste like sausage, but contain numerous additives, preservatives, flavor enhancers, and sugars. Therefore, being vegan does not automatically mean being healthy! Patrick Bolk, a vegan chef and author, was significantly overweight for many years and mindlessly consumed junk food until he realized the consequences of this behavior for himself and his environment. In "Clean Eating Vegan," he combines the food trends of clean eating and veganism into a conscious and healthy eating concept that offers variety.
