Eating for the Planet Workshop

Increasing Plant Proteins – An Eating Workshop
We know that a predominantly plant-based diet is better for your AND our planet’s health. But not everyone knows how to make this way of eating delicious and nutritious.

Reducing meat consumption is proven to be a CRUCIAL action in reducing carbon emissions, according to Project Drawdown. Here’s a blog describing the Planetary Health Diet, a way of eating that’s healthy for you and Earth.

We also know that “Low Carb” diets enhance weight loss and reduce the risk of chronic diseases associated with excess weight. “Low Carb” means eating more proteins and fats instead or carbohydrates. Protein-rich foods are generally associated with animal foods like meat and eggs. So, how can we achieve a low-carb diet that is healthy, safe, and helps our ecosystem at the same time?

Can we have good levels of protein when eating predominantly plants?

In the world of fad dieting, it’s easy to get confused.

So if you are…

• fearful that eating more plants means eating bland, fart-inducing foods for the rest of your life…
• needing clarity on the “low carb”, “clean & dirty keto” and “high protein” popular diets
• hoping to lose fat, increase energy, and enjoy and support our lovely planet we have
• or wondering what, let alone why, you would activate nuts? (You’ll learn what, how and taste why…)

this is the workshop for you!!
