About Ornish
The Ornish program centers on a very low‑fat, plant‑based pattern with an emphasis on vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes, alongside lifestyle components like activity and stress management.
Meals are heavy on plants, with minimal added fats. Use herbs, spices, and citrus liberally to keep dishes satisfying, and build texture with roasting, grilling, and hearty grains.
