Kickstart Your Health
The Power of Food for Healthy Weight Management
The Course
This curriculum is based on the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine’s successful 21- Day Vegan Kickstart program. Depending on one’s perspective, the Kickstart is about losing weight, maintaining a healthy weight, or simply embracing an overall healthful diet. Much of the basis of the Kickstart is about making a qualitative shift in the way we eat as opposed to a quantitative shift. For some people, it’s the first time the idea of not restricting amounts of foods but rather choosing the right foods has been the guiding principle for losing weight and staying healthy. The revelation is bolstered with clinical benefits such as lower cholesterol, better diabetes control, and lower blood pressure, as well as improvements in energy and mood.

Class - One
Introduction: The Power of Your Plate
The first class in this series will focus on getting ready to start a low-fat, plant-based diet. When participants leave this class, they should consider the next seven days a week of preparation, and then after Class 2, they will jump into the diet. A plant-based cooking demo is included.
