Around the World in 80 Diets

Faith, culture, healing and trend: the strengths and watch-outs of the world's most popular diets, and how to eat well within each.

Around the World in 80 Diets is a free online field guide by Mayim Vega, founder of Arukah, to the ways people eat: the food laws of the world's faiths, the traditional kitchens of dozens of cultures, and the therapeutic, ancestral, plant-based and popular diets people ask about most.

Every diet is treated fairly, with its real strengths and its real drawbacks. For each one you'll find:

  • What it is, its rules, and where it comes from
  • Its strengths, and what to watch out for
  • How to eat well within it, without breaking its rules
  • Possible supplement needs
  • Who should talk with their doctor first
