Food for Life: Diabetes Initiative

Designing a Diet for Maximum Weight Control

This is not a “diet” that asks you to walk around hungry or feel deprived. How can you lose weight, if needed, without skipping meals or limiting your portions? In a word, it’s all about FIBER. Plant-foods have it, animal foods do not. Fiber is what makes us feel full, and, as a bonus, it also helps to control blood sugar levels, protects against certain cancers, and, of no small importance, it keeps us “regular.” Learn to comfortably fill up on whole foods and watch the pounds melt away. Enjoy some delicious high-fiber dishes—without any cardboard taste.

In this 75 minute class attendees will learn the benefits of a whole food plant based lifestyle and its surprising effect on our health and longevity. Each class includes recipes, live cooking demonstrations with Stefanie's in depth knowledge on plant-based nutrition, preventing and reversing diseases along with useful handouts, recipes, and Q & A, all in a supportive online group setting.

Recipes are designed to work for people on a budget who may also have minimal time or access to equipment. More importantly, every class supports a low-fat, high fiber plant-based diet that has been proven to prevent, manage, and in some cases reverse chronic diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, autoimmune disease, kidney disease and more.
