21-Day Kickstart Your Health Series: Weight Control & Diabetes Prevention 
(4-Week Virtual Program)
 
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, easy-to-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.

Featured Class Topics
• Kickstart Your Health
• Let’s Go!
• Getting in Gear
• Weight Loss
 
Start 2026 with clarity, confidence, and a powerful plan for your health.
Join us for the 21-Day Kickstart Your Health Series, a 4-week live virtual program based on the Physicians Committee’s evidence-based 21-Day Vegan Kickstart. Designed for long-term weight control, diabetes prevention, and improved metabolic health, this series takes you step-by-step through the science and habits that make plant-based nutrition simple and sustainable.

 

This is NOT another crash diet or short-term challenge.

 

It’s a structured, supportive reset that helps you:

 

  • understand why weight and blood sugar change,
  • what foods help your body function best, and
  • how to build new habits that actually stick.
Whether you're brand new to plant-based eating or looking to recommit to a healthier routine, this series gives you everything you need to succeed — one week at a time.
 
⭐ WHAT PARTICIPANTS RECEIVE
Every week you’ll get practical tools to help you take action:
 
✔ Healthy menu ideas
✔ Weekly menu planning guides
✔ Budget-friendly grocery lists
✔ Plant-based recipe substitutions
✔ Fiber-tracking guide
✔ Daily success tips
✔ Support, accountability, and community
 
⭐ WHO THIS SERIES IS FOR
 
This program is a great fit if:
 
  • You want to lose weight without dieting
  • You want to lower blood sugar or reduce diabetes risk
  • You’re curious about plant-based eating but don’t know where to start
  • You feel tired, heavy, or sluggish and want your energy back
  • You want structure, support, and evidence-based guidance
  • You want 2026 to feel different ....calmer, clearer, healthier
