    Vegetarian & Vegan Nutrition Course

    An Online Diploma Course of 10 Lessons

    This Vegetarian & Vegan Nutrition course provides a very comprehensive overview of the vegetarian and vegan lifestyle and why people choose to eliminate meat from their diet.

    Advice on guiding clients towards a new way of life, including the implications of avoiding meat and meat products and finding healthy protein and micronutrient substitutions (including iron, calcium, vitamin B12, zinc and iodine) is given. Valuable and practical guidance on making the transition is provided, including a step-by-step implementation plan, a detailed outline of ‘at risk’ nutrients, food swaps and ways to balance meals.

    The course on Vegetarian and Vegan Nutrition is aimed at therapists qualified in Nutrition (from our school or elsewhere). Those who wish to gain a ‘Professional Qualification’ in Nutrition will benefit from our foundation Nutrition Course >>

    This subject is complemented by our Ethical & Sustainable Eating Course.
