I loved this coursel! I joined it to develop a better relationship with food as well as loose weight and I couldn't recommend this course more! There is so much information in the course content, the recipes are delicious, the whole thing is amazing.
Ruth 
I joined the course primarily to learn new skills, but as the course went on weight just started to fall off! I wasn't even conscious of it, my clothes just started to fit better, I started to feel more energetic, I felt younger even!
Michael 
I've slept better, felt better, had more energy. I didn't waste any food!
I have prepared enough for myself and then frozen the leftovers to have enough for next day!
Highly recommend, absolutely great investment for your health.

F.A.Q
You will have access to the course content for 12 months from date of purchase, you can complete this course at any point within this timeframe, so you don’t need to follow along live.
Yes, this it is fine. Our courses are self-led. This means that you can do it when it suits you and you have 12 weeks to complete it.
We generally advise anyone going to the effort of doing this course to eliminate alcohol but it’s not the be all and end all. If alcohol makes you eat more veg then the odd glass of Rioja is fine by us! Just be mindful of the foods you’re craving the day after alcohol intake. Keep them whole-food and plant-based, and you’ll be grand. Two exceptions are rum and dessert wines. These are both high in FODMAPs, so best avoided during the course.
Our meal plans provide at least 1800 kcals per day, plus more if you include the recommended snacks. As a healthy whole food plant-based diet often leads to weight loss, this course may not be suitable for you if you are underweight or have recently gotten through a period of weight loss.
In an ideal world, we would all be eating local, organic produce but as this is not feasible all the time — we feel it is more important to eat your fruit and vegetables than it is to worry about them being organic or not. The bigger issue is more about making sure you are getting whole-foods in your diet.
Studies have shown that even with the most sprayed fruit, such as grapes, the benefits of eating the fruit outweights the negatives of the chemical sprays.
Caffeine is great for sharpening your focus and helping you with certain daily tasks that might need your sustained concentration. So, moderate caffeine intake is absolutely fine. We recommend you limit your caffeine intake to EITHER 1-2 cups of coffee per day OR 2-3 cups of breakfast or green tea per day, changing all other teas to herbal tea or warm water. Use your favourite non-dairy milk as needed.

Please remember that our courses are purely educational and designed for adults who have good general health. Taking part is designed to be a supportive and positive experience, but doing a course is no substitute for seeing your own family doctor or specialist.

As you might expect, food plays a big part in this journey. The meal plans and recipes that we use on all of our courses are designed to be healthy, lower in fat, and higher in fibre. If you are concerned that this type of eating isn’t suitable for you, then please talk to your own doctor or specialist before you make any changes. We are here to support you every step of the way, remember, take it one day at a time. Be kind to yourself, there really is no such thing as perfection.
