Learn about healthy weight loss with veggie diet tour
EXPERTS from a leading veggie health charity are coming to Broadstairs at the end of April, to offer help and advice to people wanting to find out about losing weight through a vegetarian diet. The team from the Vegetarian & Vegan Foundation (VVF) will visit Herbs, Gardens & Health health shop on Northdown Road on Thursday, April 30. VVF senior nutritionist and author of the V-Plan Diet, Amanda Woodvine, will be on hand to answer any niggling nutritional questions you might have. There will also be a healthy vegan cookery demo by VVF food & cookery co-ordinator, Jane Easton. The health charity’s V-Plan Diet is the antidote to fad diets: firmly based on scientific research and proven to work. Low fat and veggie, research shows it can produce greater weight loss than Atkins, Weight Watchers or the Zone diet. Just as importantly, it can cut people’s risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes and certain cancers – giving the whole family a new lease of life! Amanda says: “Going veggie is a great way to lose weight and boost your overall health – including reducing your chances of developing some of the UK’s biggest killer diseases. Come along to Herbs, Gardens & Health to find out more and pick-up your copy of the V-Plan Diet.” The event will run from 11.30am-3.30pm. For more information, contact the VVF by calling 0117 970 5190 or visit www.vegetarian.org.uk.
