Get Healthy: Step-by-Step

2010 is the year to take charge of your health. There is much scientific evidence that eating more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds leads to a long, vigorous, healthy life. Would you like to learn how to incorporate these healthy additions into your life?

Let’s do it together, one step at a time!

Jeremiah 29:11, Inc. will be hosting a group of twenty people that are interested in transforming their health by adding one new nutrition habit each month for a year. We will meet once a month for two hours and will be using the book entitled:

12 Steps to Whole Foods

Transforming your Nutrition in One Year!
by Robin Openshaw

It will be published soon, until then the beta copy e-book is available for purchase.

Excerpt from the book 12 Steps to Whole Food Eating

"You’ve always wanted to eat better, and you know you should. But whole food eating seems so daunting! Fast food and convenient, processed foods are everywhere. Every day you wake up intending to start losing that 10 pounds—or 100—but the day gets away from you, and you end up eating beef jerky, a Big Gulp with an apple fritter, or a Quarter Pounder instead. Maybe all three, by the time the day is over. What should you eat? Where do you start? What can you buy? You might have a spouse or child who isn’t willing to change with you. You want to get healthier, thinner, or both, but you can’t do everything at once—you’re just too busy. And you don’t want to be “extreme,“ missing out on the parties, holidays, and barbecues, eating a macrobiotic, all-alkaline, vegan, or all-raw diet. As an answer to all these very valid concerns based on my experience working with people on their nutrition, I have developed a program to flatten the learning curve for people wanting to massively improve their diet, one step at a time"

We will begin Tuesday, January 5th and will meet the first Tuesday of each month through December 7th, 2010 from 6:30-8:30pm. Join with us to share your experiences, gain new friends, new knowledge, and recipe ideas. You will see cooking demonstrations, taste food samples and be inspired each month.

E-mail me at Jer2911@comgen.com to reserve your space among 20 people and learn how to order your e-book. Feel free to follow our progress each month on this blog.
