HANDS-ON COOKING AND WEIGHT LOSS RETREAT
Know your food, learn to cook and healthy eating program
Meet cooking for health
Our beliefs and approach
- We are what we eat, and our activities shape us.
- Eating well should be easy but requires education. COOKING FOR HEALTH cuisine is simple, diverse and affordable in terms of skills, cost, time. Ingredients: NON or LOW-PROCESSED WHOLE FOODS. We promote a LOW CARB diet without refined sugars or sweeteners. Local ingredients and seasonal eating are preferred whenever possible.
- Cooking will save you money while being an enjoyable activity in itself. Think of children who play for fun without thinking of any benefits.
- Not everybody has the desire to cook, and this is fine as long as they eat healthily. Still, a cooking experience brings deep knowledge of what is in a plate behind color and flavor. It brings freedom; whoever feeds you has a certain degree of control over you.
- Body and soul need physical activity to be happy.
Program highlights
- The training takes place in an ocean front retreat, minutes to walk to the picturesque Crystal Crescent Beach Provincial Park in Nova Scotia. Class is small, up to three people.
- George and his passion for food, cooking and a healthy lifestyle will be your companion on this journey. Together you will shop the right ingredients then cook and implement healthy eating habits. All combined with an enjoyable amount of physical activity.
- The program activities require several hours a day. One or two months may be enough if you are interested only in healthy cooking. If you want to lose weight permanently or improve other health markers, two or three months may be the minimum required. Up to you to decide based on results.
- Accommodation: you can opt for a room with en-suite bathroom or a studio apartment.
