Congratulations to Gull House Plant-Based Class!

13 health-care givers (yes, even Oreo, the Plant-Based Pooch) at Beebe Medical Center's Gull House Adult Activity Center in Rehoboth Beach have just completed a crash course in Plant-Based Eating. In 3 weeks they learned about the extraordinary health benefits of Plant-Based eating, watched the documentary film FORKS OVER KNIVES, and made and tasted their own dishes from whole food Plant-Based ingredients readily available at local grocery stores. Some even incorporated dietary changes into their Thanksgiving celebrations and are discovering ways to make Plant-Based eating a part of daily living.

Congratulations!

KALE-WICH RECOMMENDED BY GAIL


Just received this note from Gail, a NEW PLANT-BASED EATER:

 "I attended your presentation in September at the Retreat of Love Creek.  I have given up the dairy (already had given up meat) since then and have lost 11.5 pounds!  Thank you so much for sharing your story, ideas, and the motivation.  I will say the first few weeks of no dairy was pretty rough.  My husband and I nicknamed it "Dairy Rage"! 
 
I wanted to share a sandwich we just stumbled on that is very good.  It is steamed kale, on bread with hummus (sprinkled with cilantro) and a slice of tomato [and a squeeze of lemon].  I love kale - not my husband's favorite but he loves this combination." 
 
Gail adds that her husband has lost 9.5 lbs since September, as well.
