Tip of the Week: Want to eat healthy and oil-free at a restaurant? Order a salad and steamed vegetables, without dressing, and pack your own additional toppings and dressing in your purse or backpack. Sometimes restaurants will frown upon outside food, but if they can't accomadate your diet then you have no choice. I've done this lots of times and it's never been an issue. I typically pack tofu cubes and nuts/seeds and a little bottle of balsamic vinegar.

Eating healthfully can be less expensive than diets fueled by seemingly inexpensive processed products, fast-food products, or nutrient-poor products. Each recipe in this course is designed to work for people on a budget who may also have minimal time or access to equipment. Each ingredient can be found easily and supports a low-fat, plant-based diet that has proven to prevent, manage, and in some cases reverse chronic diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and even some forms of cancer. This is a four class series and there is a fifth, supplemental class which supports a grocery store tour if feasible. Single classes are also offered.
