As a college student of nutrition, Lois was inspired by the published nutrition research papers about Seventh Day Adventists food habits. That started her journey of eating as a vegetarian for several years. More recently, midlife weight gain of 40 pounds was readily lost and kept off after being reintroduced to plant based eating. A nutshell review of the science with lots of recipes was shared in her 2018 book called “Cooking with Whole Plant Foods, a Meal Plan and 100 Recipes” that is available on Amazon. Lois Lynn is a 30 plus year registered and certified dietitian, biostatistician, and now a certified lifestyle medicine professional who is comfortable reading medical research papers, interpreting the results, and cooking in the kitchen. Lois’s passion is to speak about the evidence-based practical health benefits of whole plant foods. She is a native New Yorker, and today she will share Tips for Eating Whole-food Plant-based Meals.
