JANUARY’S TOPIC: Plant-Based Eating for Weight Loss
Almost half of all Americans actively tried to lose weight in 2022, according to the CDC. Yet most who tried, failed.

January’s virtual session examines how a plant-based diet can help with weight loss and health goals. Even if you arenâ€™t 100% plant-based, you’ll learn strategies and concepts to help you enjoy your weight loss journey. Think differently about vital health goals in 2023!

Are you confused about nutrition and about which “diet” is right for you? You aren’t alone! The internet is awash in information that can make it difficult to determine what is fact and what is fiction.
In this month’s session, we will compare popular diets, learn how to determine if a source of information is credible, and discuss a variety of topics related to nutrition to help you make sense of the conflicting information – and make the best decisions for yourself.
