Real Simple magazine, a popular publication for those interested in cooking and housekeeping matters, has compiled some dieting advice from some of the top experts in food and nutrition.

The advice is not in the form of calorie counting or constantly weighing oneself, but rather about choosing wholesome foods that tend to be better for humans and the planet.

It’s no surprise then that several people dispensing these secrets–Alice Waters, Michael Pollan and Mark Bittman— are renown foodies that promote flexitarian eating, locally grown foods and a return to the kitchen for cooking.

The vegetarian and vegan movement is often associated with a younger crowd.

But as New York Times columnist and book author Mark Bittman explains to AARP, you can go vegan at any age.

Even if it’s just until dinnertime.

Of his self-created “vegan before six” program that only allows meat products for one meal a day, Bittman explained:

“I’m 63. It’s doable. You’re only changing your diet for two-thirds of the time. I mean, do you want to live a longer, higher quality life or not? Some people say, “I don’t care, I’m going to eat my cheeseburgers.” Those are not the people this book is addressed to. Obviously.”
