Just 1 Thing (at a time) 4 Health

“Because changing habits and lifestyle is daunting without support.”

WEEK 32 – VEGAN CUISINE: WHY THE ‘WHY’ DOESN’T MATTER

When your health, your real wealth in life is at stake, you make things happen in order to get well. Whether your Doctor said you have to change to a WFPB diet if you want to see improvement in your health, or not, change is required. Has your change been at the push of a loved one, or have you decided, the time is now for you to make your health your priority?

Either way, it can be a challenge to find foods that are easy to make, taste good and the things you want to stick to eating because it could save your life, and because you’re tired of the physical pain of illness, or feeling bad and depressed. You want to feel better and this new diet and lifestyle could be the answer.

Featured Doctor:    Executive Chef Jon Standen

Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, Executive Chef Jon Standen graduated high school through his local JVS Culinary Arts Program and went on to earn his degree at the prestigious Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. He began his career working alongside Michael Symon and other renowned Food Network stars, including: Anthony Bourdain, Tom Colicchio and Jonathan Waxman. He is currently the Executive Chef of Columbia Hills Golf & Swim Club, voted Best Golf Course and Best Wedding Destination by Cleveland Magazine.

Chef Standen transitioned to a plant-based diet over a year ago and has never felt better. He now offers inspired vegan dishes at his Club. He and his wife, Lori, are Special Diet Instructors for the American Culinary Federation for Vegan and Gluten-Free Cuisine. They have also worked together to create 67 delicious, vegan, gluten-free recipes showcased in Lori’s book, The InnerStrength Life: A Blueprint for Finding Empowerment Through Weight Loss & Vibrant Health available on Amazon. Jon and Lori live outside of Cleveland with their rescue dog, McLovin, and two beloved potbelly pigs.

When you are committed to your WFPB diet and lifestyle, Chef Jon says you’ll be happily curious to find the foods you like and will want more of. Chef Jon knows that in adopting a plant-based diet and cuisine, the ‘Why’ doesn’t matter.

When your health, your real wealth in life is at stake, you make things happen. Whether your Doctor said you have to change to a WFPB diet if you want to see improvement in your health, or not, change is required. If your change been at the push of a loved one, or have you decided for yourself, the time is now and Chef Jon is ready to help you on this next leg of your journey.

However you dice it up, it can be a challenge to find foods that are easy to make, taste good and things you want to stick to eating because it could save your life, and because you’re tired of the pain, or feeling bad and depressed. You want to feel better and this new diet and lifestyle could be the answer.

In his Just 1 Thing 4 Health Challenge Video, Chef Jon issues a challenge that you can make fun, including trying a couple of his favorite recipes. He encourages you to join us for the Live Q&A to ask your questions and add a little more flavor to your WFPB journey.

Finding what to eat on your new whole food, plant-based diet can be a challenge. Those who are just getting started want to understand the difference between vegan and vegetarian. Neither vegans no vegetarians eat meat. However, while vegetarians tend to consume dairy products and eggs, a vegan avoids all animal products, including animal bi-products like eggs and dairy, and often inedible animal-based products, such as leather, wool, and silk.

Vegetarianism is usually a diet, while veganism is a lifestyle. The protein thought to only be gotten from animal or animal bi-products, can be derived from plant-based alternatives, which is something that Chef Jon loves to do in creating his amazing culinary works of art.

When you are committed to your WFPB diet and lifestyle, Chef Jon says you’ll be happily curious to find the foods you like and will want more of. You may even want to make some new creations of your own.

Meet the Challenge by taking these proactive steps towards your better health.

Chef Jon’s Challenge to you:

Try 3 new plant-based foods that you’ve never had. Try new vegetables, tempeh, tofu or something new and outside the box. Expand your healthy diet to include 3 new things you might enjoy and keep as part of your personal menu. Make it fun, simple and delicious.

**Health Buzz: How You Can Ease Into a Vegan Diet
When you think of a vegan dieter, you likely picture a health-obsessed animal rights activist who can’t stop talking about how great it is to go vegan – and who’s totally fine swearing off burgers and milk and a whole lot more [which is really great, just not for everyone]. In reality, going vegan doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing approach. Here are five ways to ease into a vegan lifestyle.

**Clearer Skin, Fewer Vitamins: How a Vegan Diet Can Change Your Body
Veganism, the plant-based diet which shuns meat and dairy, is having its time in the sun. Since 2008, there has been a 350% increase in the number of self-described vegans in the UK alone. Where this motivation stems from is varied. From a global perspective, it includes concerns about animal welfare, worries about the environment and religious reasons, and the results are causing the number of vegans to increase in population.

**Billionaire Tycoon with Meat Industry Links Chairs TV Company Behind Anti-Vegan Documentary
Earlier this week, one of Australia’s biggest TV stations released a program about vegan activism, featuring Joey Carbstrong – who has branded it ‘ridiculous, biased garbage’. With almost no screen time at all given to the animals and the cruelty shown them, the TV billionaire was called out for supporting this clearly biased program, slanted against animal rights and vegan activists. Get beyond the emotion and you can tell what’s truth.
