6 – 7:30 PM
$10
Dieting: why dieting doesn’t work, funny (and not so funny) dieting myths, how fad diets and diet-foods can hurt your body, and a delicious conversation on the natural means of slimming down and staying fit.
BodyCard encourages clients to maintain their health and weight by using real foods, void of processed proteins, artificial sugars, and other dangerous chemicals. They firmly believe that the dieting culture is one that creates temporary improvement to the physique based on life-long damage to the body. Their instruction of food diversity, the preparation of meals, and the art of keeping fit is free of “dieting” and full of lifestyle alternatives to create a consistent, manageable improvement.
Those who attend this class will receive easy, delightful recipes (client tested and approved!), instructions for the quick and efficient preparation of weekly meals, and a meal “blue-print” to make it simple for you to create your own all natural dieting alternative.
