Is a Plant-Based Diet Sustainable Long-Term? | Mastering Diabetes | Dr. Dean Ornish

Is a plant-based diet sustainable long-term? The Ornish Program for Reversing Heart Disease incorporates comprehensive lifestyle changes including exercise, a low-fat, whole food, plant-based diet, smoking cessation, stress management training, and group support sessions. His team has refined the program over the years but continues to focus on these interventions.
Dr. Ornish swears by a vegetarian diet as it can be the single most effective nutrition to prevent chronic illnesses (e.g. cancer, diabetes, heart disease). But going back to the question - how about sustainability? For him, scaring patients is not a sustainable motivator to keep them on the healthiest diet. However, getting supported by both their health insurance and loved ones can definitely go a long way.
