• Guide Notes

  The 100 Mile Diet is not a weight loss diet. The diet was developed by two Canadians who pledged to eat only food grown or produced within 100 miles of their home in Vancouver for a year. They wrote a book about their experiences and advocate eating locally as an environmental conscious, politically aware and healthful way to live.

• Entirely Local Eating

  Eating locally can be difficult depending on where you live, and it is almost impossibly to eat this way 100% of the time. Certain foods are only found in certain parts of the world, such as olives and their byproducts and chocolate. The authors of the 100 Mile Diet book only ate that way exclusively for a year, and they now eat certain things from outside that radius.
