If I could induce labor on this one, I would.
Though The Plant-Based Journey has an official due date of September 15, this mama is eager for delivery.
The good news is that, with the good graces of my publisher and the fine folks at BenBella Books, we’ve created a Preview of Journey so you can get a tiny taste of what’s coming.
How does that sound?
Three celebrations in one
And what better way to celebrate the launch of our new website, my birthday, and Journey trotting off to print production than with a book giveaway?
First, the birthday!
Thank you for your lovely emails, lively facebook notes, and kind good wishes on my birthday last week.
It’s been a phenomenal year and I know the next will bring even more shining adventures and the opportunity to meet more of you, my fine friends, loyal readers and fellow sojourners on this path.
Greg surprised me with a custom card with a photo from our wedding day and two bio books on women and wildlife in Africa.
My favorite book genre is travel adventure! So these are books that will get read.
And we are scheduled to venture back to Africa to check in on the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust elephant orphanage we support, so I’ve got my airplane read ready.
For breakfast I served brown rice waffles with chocolate cherries. I ate two. Waffles, that is.
Lots of chocolate cherries.
Birthday dinner and cheat-the-clock enchiladas
I am a huge enchilada fan – anything corn, bean, and sauce gets my interest every time.
At the same time, I’m a lazy cook. How to make the two meet?
Here’s my cheat-the-clock method of making enchiladas.
I layer sauce (my recipe is Turtle Beach Enchilada Sauce which will soon be in your hands because we couldn’t fit all my recipes into Journey so it’s coming your way as a gift later this summer!) with corn tortillas, black beans, brown rice, and corn kernels into a quiche pan, cover it, and heave the whole thing into the oven for baking.
If you don’t like rolling every single enchilada and getting sauce all over the counter (and you), then this is a good way to go.
Here’s what she looks like after baking. I sliced and served with Vegan Sour Cream – recipe also coming to you soon!
Dessert
Had to be chocolate, of course.
I made chocolate cake from my friend Miyoko Schinner’s new book The Homemade Vegan Pantry, and served it with Mandarin Chocolate Ice Cream (recipe coming to you via The Plant-Based Journey – in the “Crowd Pleasers and Can’t Misses” chapter).
Here’s a snapshot of my plate.
Chocolate cinnamon cake with my Mandarin Chocolate Ice Cream
And now – the first Plant-Based Journey book giveaway!
First, just to be clear, entering the giveaway is not required to download the Preview.
That’s yours, no matter what.
Yet if you’d like to join in the fun, here’s how to enter the giveaway – the first ever for Journey, and the first for the newest incarnation of our website.
By the way, in this exclusive preview of The Plant-Based Journey – about 40 pages long – you will discover:
- The Preface, by T. Colin Campbell, PhD, author of The China Study, and Howard Jacobson, PhD, co-authors of Whole: Rethinking the Science of Nutrition. (I know! This is author-died-and-went-to-heaven material!)
- The Foreword, by Neal Barnard, M.D. (How did I get so lucky?)
- The Introduction and Chapter One, by yours truly, which introduces the 5 Steps of the Plant-Based Journey, dives into the ‘whys’ and gets those plant-based journey juices flowing.
Excerpt from the Preface by T. Colin Campbell and Howard Jacobson
The Preface by Drs. Campbell and Howard Jacobson captures so well the heart of Journey’s message. Here’s a tiny peek:
“…when my Whole contributing author and co-writer of this preface, Howard Jacobson, told me that Lani Muelrath was working on the book you now hold in your hands, I knew it was the companion volume to Whole that needed to be written.
Lani has been on the plant-based journey far longer than we have (decades, in fact, before I coined the phrase “whole food, plant-based” to describe more accurately than “vegan” the dietary pattern shown to promote individual and global well-being). As she humbly writes, she’s made all the mistakes so you don’t have to.
It’s one thing to have a guide who’s already mastered the path you’re about to walk; it’s another thing entirely when that guide has devoted herself to understanding how and when and why people succeed and how, when and why they stumble. Lani’s own transition to a whole food, plant-based lifestyle and subsequent health, energy, and fitness are admirable and instructive. But it’s her experience coaching thousands from initial awakening to unconscious competence that makes her a powerful partner on your own plant-based journey.
As researchers, we have long love affairs with valid data and validated theories. We’re happy to report that this book contains both. Not only has Lani scoured the medical and nutritional literature to present her case for a plant-based diet, she has also devoured the literature on habit formation and behavior change, exercise physiology and brain function, and psychological processes of decision making.
The most useful data, however, comes from Lani’s own research. She surveyed over 1200 people at various stages of the plant-based journey, to discover what they found helpful, what strategies did and didn’t work, and what advice they’d give to someone just about to take the first step.
If you are just starting out, or finding yourself struggling to eat in accord with your knowledge and your values, or looking to take your plant-based game to the next level, The Plant-Based Journey is your new best friend…”*
Grab your free preview now and enjoy the entire preface – which also spills some interesting details about the journey of The China Study.

Lani,
I love the new look and energy on your new site! So easy to navigate, refreshing, and all-around beautiful experience. Excellent and fun.
I am so excited to have this preview, what a nice thing for you and your publisher to put together. It downloaded easily and I can’t wait to read – perfect timing on the weekend, thank you!
And I knew exactly who to share this with – my sister Julie and my friend Mark who has been asking more and more questions about my way of eating.
So consider me entered in your giveaway!
Thanks, and happy birthday too!
Courtney
Courtney, yay! Thanks for being first in on the giveaway and sharing with friends and family. I know you are going to love the Preview, and thanks for the thumbs up on our new site incarnation!
Lani
I think I did all this right…I don’t post websites to FB often! But, it helped me find you on FB and like your page myself. I’m a newbie, not only to this kind of technical stuff, but to this way of eating (4 months so far)…so loved finding your page and being able to download a portion of your upcoming book! Thank you!
Laura, well, all I can say is I’m glad you broke with tradition and posted! Four months in? How’s it going? So glad to be on this journey with you!
Exciting- and anticipation is sweet- Your photos make me so hungry- doesn’t matter if I have JUST eaten- I am hungry instantly!!! Thank you for the preview!!
Hope, what a lovely note! Thanks for your enthusiasm, excitement, and company on the journey!
Wow! Lightning fast delivery of the book preview. Love the look of the the website — so fresh and easy to navigate. Thank you for the opportunity to preview the book, too. I’m looking forward to reading it this weekend. Cheers and happy (belated) birthday!
Hi Lynn,
Glad to hear you got instant delivery. and that you like the new look! Worked hard to be sure that the navigation was easy so I’m excited to get that report as well. Let me know how you like the preview when you get a chance to read this weekend! And appreciate the birthday wishes. Thanks!
Lani
I got my copy of the Preview and can’t wait to see the whole book! I shared on Pinterest so I didn’t have to email all my friends individually. Please consider me entered in your giveaway.
I like the new website and am looking forward to spending more time checking it out.
Jan, thanks and I can’t wait for the whole thing to be ready for you too! I appreciate the share on Pinterest, would love to see your ‘channel’ so you must let me know how to find your page! Great way to share with a bundle of buddies and readers and I appreciate. Journey can be tremendous oomph to anyone on the journey, whether just starting out or anywhere along the way.
I’m really glad that you like the new site and can’t wait to hear more once you have time to snoop around a little bit. Make sure to let me know if you find any links that don’t work or other bugs!
Lani
Site looks great! Can’t wait to read the preview! I’ve shared this post with my bff. 😉
Hi Susan! Yay, thanks on all counts.
Enjoy the preview and traveling around the ‘journey’ site!
Lani
Lani
You Are an inspiration. I am a registered dietitian that LOVES plant based eating but struggle because my husband is the exact opposite. So unfortunately I cook for “one” and struggle. I so look forward to reading your book for insight and support !! And yes… Awesome that Dr. Barnard wrote for you! Met him in Indianapolis and got started on my own journey. Best of luck!! Rosemary
Rosemary,
Dr. Barnard has always been the highest of inspirations, I agree! He is champion on all fronts – for the healthy, the animals, and the environment.
How excited that you are a PBRD! Where do you practice? Would love to hear more about your work, please share!
Looks great!
Thanks MizzB! I appreciate you coming in and glad to have your company.
Lani, Your new website looks fantastic! It’s obvious how much time and thought went into creating each informative page, and I’m sure readers will find many valuable resources here. I’m so honored to have my family featured in the new book, and I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy! Wishing you all the success you deserve and sending gratitude for sharing your knowledge and wisdom about making this transition with those who need it most. xo
Sharon, your comments mean a lot to me and it’s the lifestyle that is deserving! I am honored to have the McRae clan in the book, the section has already proven instructive and inspirational to others – I have it on the best authority from the few pre-production electronic copies that have been sent out. I hope you will find the resources here convenient and informative to send to the many that you help along the way.
Hi Lani,
I’m soon to be 59, about 15 pounds overweight and experiencing a few other issues. However, you my dear are an amazing inspiration! Thank you! I look forward to the book and visiting your site to stay encouraged and inspired.
Much Peace…
Lucy, I am very excited to read your note today – not because of your challenges but because there are solutions. How did our paths cross, by the way? I hope you find a lot of resources here that hit the mark – and I know you will find Journey extremely valuable for leveraging reaching your goals. Thank you for speaking up!
Interesting
Hi Lani,
I am SUPER excited to check out the preview I downloaded but headed in to work this rainy Sunday. Thanks for all that you do to spread the word and kudos for having the gurus be a part of your book. This week I just listened (again) to T. Colin Campbell speak with his son Dr. Thomas Campbell – Fighting Cancer Through Nutrition. I know it’s one step at a time but SO wish the world would just wake up and realize how easy it could be. Thanks again for all that you do to help spread this important, healthy and life-saving message – and for the recipes of course!
All the best,
Monica
Hi Monica,
Well the pleasure is all mine and I can’t wait for you to read the Preview. And having these greats as part of Journey’s Journey? I keep pinching myself! Please report back in after you’ve had a chance to read, OK?
YOU are an important part of advancing the cause! Hope work went well today!
Thank you so much for the free preview! I am so excited and hopeful that your new book will help me to fine tune my plant based diet, learn how to get the weight off and keep it off. Thank you for all the information you provide for better health and fitness! I wish you all the best.
Hi Carol,
You’re welcome! And thanks for your very lovely note. And ‘tuning’ is exactly what she – Journey – is all about. My specialty is connecting people with all the doctor, research and dietitian details with sustainable success. After decades of my own struggle, it’s the least I can do to give this step-by-step guide. When you get a chance to read the preview, let me know what you think! Thanks again.
Hi Lani,
Thank you for the preview, I am so excited for your book to come out! I have shared this page on Twitter and will be emailing friends and family about it as well. I have just started coaching a few clients as a plant based health coach and your book will be invaluable to me in guiding others on their own “Journey”! Love the new website as well!
Hi Kari,
What an exciting venture! Where are you coaching? I’d love to hear more about your programs. You are not alone in having the idea of implementing Journey in your coaching and teaching. After all, that is one of the unique features of this book – it’s the first transition guide written by a teacher. That’s why the layout and progression is different – it is backed by best practices in instructional design and experience. So far it’s been opted by an R.D. who heads the nutrition department at a college, several Food for Life coaches, Get Waisted coach, and private practice health coaches in other venues. I am available to help you implement Journey as instructional guide. So please don’t hesitate to shoot me a note about all of it!
Thanks for sharing the news with your network – and for your stamp of approval on the website!
Hi Lani,
Yes, it is exciting! I am slowly starting out still working on programs etc. I would like to do a group program using your book so I will keep in touch about that. I am currently in Nanaimo, B.C. Canada but coach over the phone to clients in other provinces as well. Thanks for the feedback!
Kari, I love Nanaimo! It’s been a few years, but fond memories…
Journey is perfect for group experience – another coach is using it a guidance manual for an on campus plant-based club! Do you know about the Advance Team? Members are organizing NOW to plan for fall classes and groups when the book will be out – and they already have an electronic ‘raw’ copy so that they can plan ahead. If you want the deets about the Advance Team send me an email so I can link you to the details.
Hi Lani,
For some reason your picture is covering up some of your reply message. You’ve been to Nanaimo, lol! Yes, please send me some info. on the Advance Team to kardan@shaw.ca. Thanks!
Hi Kari! Yes, I was trying to config avatar and couldn’t seem to it sized right! Is it working OK now for you? It looks fine on my page. I’ll send you an email on Advance Team info shortly. thanks!
Thanks for the preview! I love the new “green” look of your website. I shared your news (this page) with my daughter.
Virginia – thank you! I love that green grass too – my designer lasered right in on my style, in some ways better than I could! Thank you for sharing with your daughter. How old is she, and where does she live? Has she expressed an interest in plant-based, or is she already?
Thanks again!
Hi Lani,
Loved your new website, it’s easy reading, humorous and healthy, my kind of girl! I am a FFL cooking instructor with PCRM, know all the health promoting doctors you listed in the book. Will share your website with many students. I am a caregiver to a Parkinson Disease community, I hope to win your free giveaway book, can’t wait to spread the word and try your healthy recipes. I also have your Fit Quickies” DVD. loved the exercises you provide.
Many thanks and love,
Rose Lee
Rose, I love your review! Humorous and healthy, who could ask for more? Glad you like the new site and are enjoying the Fit Quickies.
FFL cooking instructors rock! Never met a one I didn’t like and absolutely admire. You guys work hard! So much heart in it. Where are you? Several FFL cooking instructors have pre-ordered multiple copies of Journey already to supplement and support their classes. I am so excited about all these developments! And I appreciate you giving out reference to the resources here.
Another resource you may enjoy is the printed, color cover copies of the Preface by T. Colin Campbell and Howard Jacobson that my publisher has been printing. If you’d like some to give out in your classes, let me know – just send me an email at lani@lanimuelrath.com.
And a caregiver too? My!
Got my preview, it looks great! Shared with my mom who is also plant-based. My whole family (small kids included) have been plant-based for almost 4 years now. I know it’s the right thing for our bodies, because whenever we “fall off the wagon” (usually while traveling) we feel horrible within hours. Proof enough for me!
Hey Molly, thank you so much for your enthusiasm and pionerring spirig! Four years, tremendous, what an influence you are! By the way, we’re traveling in Italy right now and have found some real gems, like a pizzaria with vegan cheese! True story!
So glad you like the preview!
I love the look and feel of your new layout. Great job! I tweeted about your book with all my Twitter followers. I’d love to win this book for one of my daughters who is eager for her whole family to be plant-based. The book looks like it’s just what she needs. Btw, I’m around your age and have kept 32 pounds off for the 13 years I’ve been plant-based. Before that my weight would yo-yo my entire adult life. Never felt better and I am at my trim high school weight. Weight aside, I’ve never been healthier or had so much energy. 🙂
Martha – we could be twins! With the weight, the years, the yo yo, and now trim and healthy. Love your energy! And it means a lot to me that you like the new site, I’ve been excited and nervous about it at the same time! I appreciate.
Yes, Journey is perfect for your daughter! Does she live near you? Has she gotten started? You must be such an inspiration to her!
And thanks for the Tweets! How did our paths cross, by the way?
No, Lani, unfortunately my daughter does not live near me. She lives half way across the country. 🙁 She tells people that I’m the healthiest person she knows. I love knowing that she feels that way. She did get started on this journey a year or so ago. But has had many challenges. Too numerous to go into here. She has a large family with one child having severe health challenges. Hospital stays have hindered their progress to go totally plant-based but they are eager to do so. I happened across Dr. McDougall in the late 80’s. Learned about you through his website. After I lost my first husband, I decided to finally give up dairy and I’ve been on the WFPBNO journey ever since!
Martha thank you for the details. It is always so interesting to me to find out how our lives intersect on the journey. Sorry to hear about your daughter’s challenges but what a role model you are for her!
Got the preview — thank you, Lani! I’m looking forward to reading the whole book!
Hi Cynthia! Thanks for letting me know!
Hi Lani!
Love, love, love your new website and the excerpt from your new book! Thank you so much for sharing this and I’m sharing it with my pals. Can’t wait to read your new book cover to cover. I’ve been following Dr. McDougall’s program for years and heard about you from him. Love that man! Thank you so much for bringing us along on the JOURNEY!!! Best wishes always!
Riva, I lovelovelove your comments! First message I’ve opened to this morning early, and you’ve made my day. If you heard about the good Doc McD from me, how did our paths cross in the first place? I always am interested to hear about these things!
You mention your ‘pals’. Does this mean you have friend who are also plant-curious and embarking on a journey of their own? You could use Journey as a guide for a group – it is set up beautifully for just that. Let me know how I can assist and thanks for posting your message.
Lani,
Awesome blue dress, and as Billy Crystal would say, “You look mahhvelous!” I, too, like the new look of your website and the preview for your newest book. Thanks, and glad to hear about your yummy birthday fare. It all looked delicious.
Kathi, aw, thanks! You know, I don’t like clothes shopping at all, yet wanted something new for the photo shoot. I decided to approach my shopping aversion the same way I coach people to make lifestyle change – making microchanges. As I approached Macy’s I told myself all I had to do was try something on. Not buy, not decide, just try something on. That made it more doable. This dress is just about the first thing I saw. Tried it on, and the only thing I had to do was go back and get it off the rack a couple of sizes smaller than I’d grabbed. (Not complaining there!) So it was all – around a happy shopping experience.
Thanks for the positive feedback on the site, too. And yes, the birthday cake and ice cream were – as you say – mahvelous! I added the Mandarin Chocolate Ice Cream recipe to Plant-Based Journey at the very last minute – she was already in design and layout approval but I talked my design editor into letting me add this one more recipe!
Lani, I can’t wait for September 15th! I want your book!
Hi Patti! I know, I’s excited too! Were you able to download the Preview?
thanks for stopping in!
Yes, I have everything downloaded from you that you’ve put out for people like me. I also have your book, Fit Quickies. Thanks for all you do. 🙂
Patti, thanks for the cheer and smile! Glad you were able to download all!
I received my copy of the Preview and am excited to read it. Thank you for providing that! I may post again after reading it. Also, great new website and Lani you look beautiful! From one Gemini to another!
Mary, hey twin! thanks so much, for all of it – coming by, your fine comments and excitement! Be sure to let me know how you likey after you see the Preview!
Looking forward to talking more about the possibilities of having you visit our “Eat Smart, Live Longer” club after your book is released. Can’t wait to see it and looking forward to the free sneak peek downloads … thanks!
Leslie – what a great idea to come visit the Eat Smart Live Longer club. I can see a meetup in our not too distant future. Please let everyone in the club know about the Preview too – honestly, just the Preface by Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Howard Jacobson gets me inspired every time I read it!
Got my preview, can’t wait to read it! Look forward to the book coming out soon! Hope I win, if not, will be ordering!
Hi Tammy! thanks and let me know what you think after reading the Preview! And also thanks for posting your avatar pic with your post – it’s great to ‘see’ you!
Downloaded very easily and quickly. I’ve already started reading this preview. I am pretty sure it’s going to be a big hit. A lot of people want to be healthy AND also be fit. Congratulations on your new book!
Hi Jan, I am so so glad you got to easily download and take a look. Your feedback is important to me and I appreciate! thanks also for spreading the word!
Downloaded and read the preview… tweeted this page too… book looks interesting, especially as I am looking to change to a vegetarian based – no processed food lifestyle… not sure I can give up all dairy though… can’t wait to see the recipes.
Hi Nick! thanks for sharing the page. If it helps, dairy was the last animal product that went for me, too. I became vegetarian 42 years ago, all animal products except dairy dropped. It wasn’t until decades later, really, that I finally let go of the dairy. Start where you are and make microchanges as you adjust!
Thank you for sharing.
Hi Lori! Certainly.
I got my copy of the preview – it looks amazing! Thank you!!
I will share this with my sister as she is vegan and definitely interested in the plant-based lifestyle. Thanks for the giveaway!!
Hi Katie! I so appreciate your enthusiasm and thank you for sharing with your sister, too!
I have been reading the preview material just now and all at once. This all seems to confirm what I have been thinking and considering from a variety of sources for a few years now. Even though, my head and my heart want to do this; somehow I get stuck and never really seem to “get there”. I fall into old habits and impulses. I feel badly. My ultimate goal is to make peace with my body, find the right foods for me and get on with living and not feeling bad every day about food and my weight. This book may hold the tools I need to bridge the gap between my deep desire for a healthy plant based lifestyle and the reality of a healthy plant based lifestyle.
Suzanne,
I love your post. This sounds like me, a direct quote from you:
After years – decades – of struggle, off an on dieting (even as a vegetarian) I finally got to the place where, bottom line, I wanted a healthy, happy relationship with food, eating, and my body. And somehow it didn’t seem like asking too much to be, at the same time, full without being fat! That’s what the plant-based journey lifestyle delivers. I’m thrilled to see you come by and leave your note!
On my About page, I pull this quote from the book:
Can you relate to this? Then we are a good match.
Happy Birthday!
I love the new site! It’s great!
I have downloaded the preview and will share this lovely page.
Wishing you all the best!
Fran, excellent! And thanks for the thumbs up on the site – and the birthday wishes! I appreciate all of it!
I’ve downloaded the preview but haven’t had a chance to look at it yet. I’ve shared the link on several pant based groups and my timeline, already getting some “likes.”
Looks like a lot of good information all in one place. Looking forward to it’s release! Thanks for all you do for the plant based community.
Thank you so much Vikki! So great to be on this journey with you – your enthusiasm has helped more than you know!
Thanks, Lani, for the preview. I’m excited to read it. I got to your website from a Facebook posting in the McDougall Friends group. This looks like a great website and I look forward to poking around in here. I’ve been plant based for about four years now and life has never been better. Thanks for all that you do!
Hi Linda,
I am so happy to meet you! Thanks for diving into the link on facebook and coming over to say hello and share a little bit about yourself. Joining forces on the journey helps all of us move forward. Four years, congratulations! What started you down the plant-based path? I always love hearing startup stories!
Thanks for the free download… look forward to reading it and heading in a more plant based direction!
Hi Angela, my pleasure and I am so glad you came by to dive in! Please let me know how you like the Preview – and I hope that it inspires you to keep moving forward. I’m here to fan the flames and keep them going!
Hi Lani –
I have already begun spreading the word about Plant-Based Journey on Pinterest and Twitter, with Instagram and Facebook soon to follow. I am thrilled with what I have seen so far. The book really is a compilation of your vast knowledge and will be an invaluable tool in the toolbox of veg-curious and seasoned vegan veterans alike. For me, this book will be an instrumental part of my efforts to transition my somewhat reluctant family to the wild and wonderful world of plantbased living. Thank you!
Julianne, wow, I love this and thank you! Couldn’t ask for higher praise and you can count on me quoting you!
Hi Lani, I love your new site and can’t wait to read the book! You are such an inspiration! I shared the site by email, so please enter me in the contest.
Hi Karen, thank you so so much, I’m glad you are pleased and appreciate you sharing the news!
Thanks Lani, and Happy Birthday!
I have downloaded the preview and shared the post..
and I’m really looking forward to reading this new book in full!
🙂
Thanks Heather! Can’t wait to get the full book into your hands!
Hi, Lani!
Thanks so much for the preview! I cannot wait to read it. I already shared about Plant Based Journey with my friends via email and Twitter. I am fairly new on my plant-based journey and am looking for as much information and support as I can get! I already ate your website bookmarked and love reading your blogs. I’m so excited for your book coming out!
I already “have” NOT “ate” your website. Omg…embarrassing! I hate auto correct!! Sorry
Hey Barb, welcome to the adventure and thanks for telling me a little more about you. How did you encounter plant-based – and how did our paths cross?
Got it! I will be reading this today while relaxing by the river after a nice workout!
Kelly, thanks and sounds like a wonderful plan. What’s your workout? Where’s your river? Do tell!
Hi Lani. Just found your site. So glad you have a wonderful new book coming out. I’m on the list. Still whole foods, plant based, but have trouble staying motivated to exercise. Looking forward to your book. Love, Lynn
Hi Lynn,
How very nice to meet you and thank you for leaving your brief introduction. By the way, how did our paths cross? Staying connected – which we can do right here, for starters – is so important for advancing the journey! Welcome, and do let me know how else I can assist you.
