How do you stick to healthy eating when there’s a fast food restaurant on every corner and healthy options are hard to come by.

Brenda Workman knows the struggle — and she’s found a way through it. After decades of yo-yo dieting, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure, she made a mindset shift that changed everything. Now she’s 60 pounds lighter, off her medications, and thriving on a plant-based diet… in one of the unhealthiest states in the U.S.

Brenda shares the five practical habits that helped her stay the course, even when surrounded by junk food and temptations.

 

You’ll learn:

- Brenda’s five go-to strategies for eating healthy in an unhealthy world

- Why focusing on health — not weight loss — is the key to real change

- How to fight cravings and ditch junk food for good

- Practical tips for starting, and sticking with, a plant-based lifestyle
