What is the Whole-Food Plant-Based Diet?
A Plant-Based diet is a lifestyle that focuses only or mostly on foods from plant sources. There are many possible health benefits, including:
Better weight management
Studies have proven that people who eat primarily Plant-Based foods tend to have a lower body mass index (BMI) and lower rates of obesity, diabetes and heart disease than those who regularly consume meat, dairy, refined sugars or processed foods.

"I’ve been eating a plant based diet for several years but was becoming unhealthy. I was referred to Eva Cruz at the beginning of the year, and, within a few short weeks, started to feel much better physically and emotionally. Her meal plans were excellent and not strict. I highly recommend contacting Eva if you need help and guidance with food choices and your health." - Whitney L., June, 2020
