Based on the Physicians Committee’s successful 21-Day Vegan Kickstart book, this introductory class guides participants on a journey toward healthy weight loss, healthy weight maintenance, and an overall healthful and sustainable diet. For some, this may be the first time food choice is prioritized over restricting food amounts. Learn about delicious plant-based recipes that help to lower cholesterol, control diabetes, lower blood pressure, and even boost energy and mood. This cooking demonstration focuses on the Power-of the Plate -- empowering participants to make easy and affordable healthy meals at home.
