The strength of this CPE program is how easily translatable the data is to clinical practice. The course provides specific data about which food groups included in a low-fat vegan diet provide the most benefits to body weight and fat mass reduction, so if patients are interested in experimenting with a plant-based lifestyle, this course gives good data about where to start for the greatest impact. The course also provides expected parameters for patients who experiment with a low-fat vegan diet.
