Food for Life: Nutrition Essentials

Based on the Physicians Committee’s 21-Day Vegan Kickstart book, this four-class series
promotes a low-fat plant-based diet for preventing some of the most common chronic
diseases. Grounded in evidence-based science, this series will empower participants by
revealing the whys and hows—the knowledge and skills—for effective and long-term
weight loss and maintenance in support of overall health. Participants receive helpful, easyto-
follow handouts and guides to cement learning and ease them into implementation of
new dietary changes, including healthy menu ideas, weekly menu planning guides,
suggested plant-based recipe substitutions, an easy-to-follow fiber-tracker, and more.
