What is Obesity?
Obesity is a disease that’s completely treatable correlated with an excess amount of body fat. Caused by environmental and genetic factors, this worldwide health concern is diagnosed when a patient has a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater. About 40 percent of Americans struggle with obesity.

A Plant Based Diet is Fun!
Sticking to a plant based or plant heavy diet is not only beneficial to your health but also offers long lasting excitement with recipes. My sincere hope is to add variety for individuals looking to include more plant based foods to their diet. Helping to reduce bad cholesterol, blood sugar, and assist with weight management, I encourage coupling exercise with my heavy use of lentils & pulses throughout my recipes.
