Ikigai Diet VS. Whole Food Plant Based Diet

The other day, I saw someone sharing a video about plant based diet.

I had never heard of it, so I did a google search on it.

Then I found the following definition.

It’s a diet based on fruits, vegetables, tubers, whole grains, and legumes; and it excludes or minimizes meat (including chicken and fish), dairy products, and eggs, as well as highly refined foods like bleached flour, refined sugar, and oil.

It does sound like MA GO WA YA SA SHI I, which I talked about in the last video, doesn’t it?

It is also called whole food plant based diet, and they seem to eat whole food. That makes it even more like Ikigai Diet because another aspect of Ikigai Diet is ICHIBUTSU ZENTAI SHOKU which I talked about in today’s video.

So, what is the difference between Ikigai Diet and Whole Food Plant Based Diet?

That is something I am going to discuss a little by little, in the next few posts.
