NEW YORK (PIX11) — Just because you’re eating vegetarian doesn’t necessarily mean you’re following a healthy diet.
Vasudha Viswanath, author of the new cookbook “The Vegetarian Reset,” was surprised to learn that she was pre-diabetic, despite being a lifelong vegetarian.
“As vegetarians, we tend to eat a lot of refined wheat and rice and maize, and not nearly as many vegetables as we think we’re eating,” said Viswanath, also the founder of We Ate Well, a vegetarian-focused community of foodies.
Viswanath joined New York Living on Monday to show off some vegetarian dishes that are both pleasing to the tastebuds and kind to the body.
