Why Everyone Is Talking About the Pegan Diet for 2019

Why Everyone Is Talking About the Pegan Diet for 2019

July 14, 2022 By Paul

In 2014, Dr. Mark Hyman coined the term “pegan” to describe a diet that combined the paleo and vegan diets. These two diets often contradict each other (for example, on eating meat), but both stress eating real, whole foods. Dr. Hyman suggests that fruit and vegetables make up about 75% of one’s diet. Grains and legumes, which are normally considered healthy, are avoided. Dairy is also avoided. Sugar is avoided, which seems healthy but may be hard to stick with. Nutritionist Jaclyn London calls the pegan diet “okay at best.”

Key Takeaways:

  • Paleo and vegan diets often contradict each other, but they both stress eating real, whole foods.
  • Dr. Mark Hyman, who coined the term “pegan,” recommends that fruit and veggies make up 75% of your diet.
  • The diet avoids grains and legumes, which are generally considered healthy.

“If simultaneously eating like a caveman and cutting out all animal products sounds tough, you’re right.”
