Do I need to eat a strict plant-based diet or require that my clients eat 100% plant-based foods?

No. This certification is open to all who are interested in promoting the many benefits of a plant-based diet. That could mean simply increasing the amount of plant-based whole foods and decreasing the amount of animal products, or it could mean adopting a 100% plant-based lifestyle. While the focus of the certification espouses whole, plant-based food, we appreciate that there is a spectrum and welcome a diversity of eaters.
