“I have a completely different relationship with food than before I started the program. I approach food much more mindfully and with greater respect—not only for how it was grown and where it came from, but for how it will affect me and my well-being. I’ve lost weight and, for the first time in my life, I feel as though how I look is an accurate reflection of who I am.”
~ Deborah (Vermont)
“Having all this information at one time has awakened and changed me!”
~ Sheela (California)
“I’ve started eating much more wholesome food regularly, and have a much better idea of how much I should eat. I’m making a positive impact on my family and the environment with my food choices, I’m losing weight and feeling much less frustrated about it all too. That’s a great feeling.”
~Karen (North Carolina)
“I began this because I knew my family needed to change our eating ways, but I wasn’t sure how to go about it. Every week I learn so much and am enjoying my newfound knowledge in the kitchen. The material is relevant, challenging and life changing for me. I also love learning from Lia, who knows her stuff!”
~ Darnell (California)
“I have struggled with my weight since I was 13 years old. I thought in order to lose and maintain my weight I had to sacrifice fat and taste. Lia has taught me many things . . . but most of all that there are so many tasty ways to prepare foods that I don’t have to give up everything I love to maintain a healthy weight.”
~ Janis (Maryland)
“The assigned readings have opened my eyes to many of the broader issues affecting my food choices … I also really like hearing others’ experiences that week – what worked? Why didn’t you like it? What technique did you learn? It’s great to have such visible progress in preparing my pantry, tooling up my kitchen, and then putting changes to work too.”
~ Kelly (California)
“Following a routine physical a couple years ago, I learned that I had high cholesterol. My doctor wanted to treat it right away with medication but I felt as though I could make some adjustments on my own to reduce my cholesterol before taking medication. Lia’s advice and guidance, whether spoken or written, has helped me to curb some unhealthy diet choices and replace them with healthy ones and, as a result, I’ve been able to reduce my total cholesterol without the use of prescription medications. And the best part is, I honestly do not feel as though I am sacrificing anything—just eating better.”
