If you could attend a local cookery class, what would you like it to include?
My name is Farrah and I reversed the symptoms and causes of my pre-diabetes by overhauling my diet (and exercise) using PCRM's (Dr. Neal Barnard) principals: Eating food that is Low Fat & Low GI. This approach worked for me. Diabetes runs in my family and it is an issue that is very close to my heart, my mother now has severe retinopathy. People who know me cannot get over the 'physical' change - I've gone from a UK size 20 to a 10 and when they try my food they cannot believe how it can be so low in fat and still so yummy. Alot of people have told me that they would love to do the same but lack the skills in the kitchen. Others have told me that there is a lack of this kind of service.
And so I'm looking into the possibilities of offering some local cookery classes (within London) - they would of course be low fat (plant-based, low in oils, seeds, nuts and avocadoes) and low GI - all naturally low in calories. I have a knack for being able to turn pretty much anything into a low-fat version - cutting, say, the contents of cake serving from 25g to 5g.
Which is the reason for asking this question, if you were to attend a cookery class, what would you like it to include? And how much would you expect to pay? I intend to start off on a donation basis.
I thank you sincerely in advance for any feedback you provide
I know this isn't everyones cup of tea but I also know there are lot of people out there curious about this approach championed by the likes of doctors: Joel Fuhrman, Neal Barnard and Gabriel Cousens.
