Getting started with plant based diets
Event Information
About this Event
Eating plant based diets is good for our health and has a less harmful environmental impact than eating a diet full of meat, dairy and processed foods. Plant based diets does not mean being vegan. It means getting a majority of your nutrition from fresh, unprocessed plant based ingredients. This 3 part online workshop is for people who want to make a change in their diets and create a personalized diet that suits your needs but do not know where to start.
You will get started on your journey and have three weeks to experiment with a plant based diet and then make a diet plan that suits your needs.
The first workshop will get you acquainted with the theory - what are the main issues with our diets; what exactly are the impacts of eating meat and dairy rich diets on our environment, individual health, and the welfare of animals.
The second workshop will look at solutions and practical information - how to get you started on your journey to better health and reduce your environmental footprint. We will talk about what to eat; how to source it; substitutes and good to have ingredients in your pantry. We will make plans for the next 3 weeks where you can decide how easy/ difficult you want it to be. You are encouraged to go vegan for 3 weeks and follow a diet to clean your body and test your own dietary preferences and boundaries. At the end of the session, participants make their own plans to follow for 3 weeks.
The third workshop will be an interactive follow up session where everyone shares their experience - what went well; what did not go so well; how did your family / household respond to your changes; and questions and challenges that came up during the experimentation phase. We end the session with everyone sharing aspects that they will keep from the previous 3 weeks on their journey forward.
Your ticket includes all 3 sessions.
