This curriculum is based on the Physicians Committee for Responsible  Medicine’s  successful 21-Day Vegan Kickstart program. Depending on one’s perspective, the Kickstart is about losing weight, maintaining a healthy weight, or simply embracing an overall healthful diet. Seven classes have been developed, but it can also be abbreviated to five classes. The first class can be a stand-alone program and provides an excellent overview and introduction for a site that wants only a single class.
