Don’t Be Green With Envy…
…Be Green With Amy!

How do I consume more food now than I ever did when I was overweight?
In 2012, I was 40 pounds overweight. My annual blood tests confirmed that I was genetically headed towards Type II Diabetes and high cholesterol. Heart Disease and Rheumatoid Arthritis ran in the family.
My husband was 100 pounds overweight and on 3 prescription medications for hypertension and high cholesterol.
Each year, the pounds kept creeping on both of us.
I thought I was eating a relatively healthy diet!
I exercised daily, used olive oil, took the skin off my chicken, ate egg whites, made turkey burgers, rarely ate fried food, and asked for my salad dressing on the side.
I tried really hard not to over eat, and felt guilty when I did.
But still the pounds kept creeping on….
After much reading, I learned that I was not eating a healthy diet, and was amazed by how much I truly didn’t know about nutrition!
Moreover, how processed foods, salt, oil, sugar and animal products that we ingest, not our genes, greatly determines our health destiny!
To make a change, I learned as much as I could about changing to a healthy lifestyle. It was difficult and not very tasty (at first).

Hi I’m Amy. My husband Rick & I adopted a Whole Plant lifestyle in 2012. We have had fantastic health results. Together, we’ve lost over 130 pounds! We offer private, lifestyle coaching and Zoom cooking lessons. We love to share our knowledge of this lifestyle and hope to spread the word and help others to Be Strong, Be Well and Be Green!🌱
Amy,
I listened to the Online Presence series yesterday and today. My pod is called Kitsap County Podsters and we are in the state of Washington. I also have a small group on the app called Nextdoor for people who didn’t want to get on Facebook!
My spouse and I have been going through a total remodel of our house and I did all my food prep without a kitchen, heat or running water most of the year! I still stayed SOS free Whole Food Plant Exclusive! I also tour on my bicycle and just did a 30 day tour and stayed the course – WFPE SOS free except for the salt in Plantstrong soups before I realized I could take salt free beans and make my own soup!
Anyway, I am so inspired by you and Rebecca and hope to learn to use her virtual studio. I first listened to you when Chef AJ interviewed you and I’ve subscribed to your Be Green with Amy. Chef AJ had me on FFOF as a member spotlight and I’m going on again with Zena in December to demonstrate what I fix when I’m on tour. If I can do this on a bicycle in the middle of no where, anyone can! I’d like to do some cooking for my POD. I’ve had questions as to what I fix! I’m hoping you will be my mentor and help me get started!
Stephen and I started our journey in July of 2020 and we have been WFPE SOS free with all the wonderful side effects. I have lost 80# in all, the last 40+ since July of 2020. Blood pressure, cholesterol and A1C all normal now. The best of all is maintaining the weight loss over the past year – WOW!
If I can help anyone who wants to make this switch, I hope to do so. My line is “Save Your Life, save the planet!” I’m the Plant Powered Pedaler! What do you think?

Thank you!
Hi Amy! We met at VHCC previously. I am trying to changeover my diet, could use a consult with you: I have a lot of food allergies that make plant based cooking even more challenging. Can we set up a time?
I would be happy to consult with you. Please go to my Contact Amy page https://begreenwithamy.com/contact/ to set up a time.
Looking forward to speaking with you.

I want to learn more about the Plant Base way of eating for a better gut! Need help on the combination of the foods and taste. Love the Buddha Bowls way of eating – it is working for me. Looking for a community that is supportive and informative!

Are you able to offer tips and recipes that would help with fatigue – decreasing fatigue, or to help with RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis) as well as weight loss?
Hi Barbara. I am not a physician but this lifestyle can help with all of the concerns you mentioned. I do have tips and recipes.
Same here. Totally transforming my way of eating.
