Veganism 101: How to Eat a Plant Based Diet
$9.95
Increasing numbers of people are interested in adopting a plant-based diet, whether for health benefits or environmental or ethical concerns. However, there are practical issues of adopting a new diet that can be significant barriers.
During this webinar, Dr. Josh Cullimore will address how to deal with concerns about taste and affordability, inspiration for recipes, the social difficulties of eating with friends and family, practical difficulties when travelling or eating out, and concerns about getting enough calories or nutrients. He will discuss whether it is better to transition suddenly or gradually, whether you need to take supplements, how much protein you need (and whether animal or plant protein is better), whether carbohydrates cause obesity and how to live without cheese.
