Plant-Based Food Program

Let our Balance Team assist you in achieving your lifestyle goals at our oceanfront retreat.

A plant based SOS diet promotes health by eliminating animal foods and providing adequate quantities of nutrient-dense plant foods that are high in fiber, unsaturated fatty acids, phytochemicals, vitamins, and minerals.

 Studies have identified correlations between plant-based diets and reduced risk (and, in some cases, reversal) of obesity, cardiovascular disease, type II diabetes, metabolic syndrome, some types of cancer, arthritis, and kidney dysfunction when compared to omnivorous diets.  It improves health by lowering levels of cellular inflammation and oxidative stress, and positively affecting gut bacteria composition and metabolites.

An SOS-Free Diet also eliminates added salt, oil, and sugar, including refined carbohydrates. These substances increase the pleasurable qualities of food and contribute to a cycle of overconsumption, otherwise known as the “Pleasure Trap.” Removing them from the diet can potentially reduce the desire to overeat, especially for people who are particularly susceptible to the addictive qualities of highly processed food.

Whenever implementing a new healthy dietary regimen, your body may initially go through mild undesirable changes. Irritability, fatigue, cravings, and bowel changes are some of the common detox symptoms, but they are short-lived. Soon after, you will begin to experience vibrant energy.
