Healthy Holidays: African American Culinary Heritage

Healthy Holidays: African American Culinary Heritage

The holidays can present a challenge when it comes to staying on your health journey. This class presents a way of eating over the holidays that is not a “diet” that asks you to walk around hungry or feel deprived. How can you stay on track over the holidays,  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 over the holidays and watch the pounds melt away. 

And explore plant-based adaptions of various Soul Food dishes!
