Nutrition Seminar Available to Members Online
We understand that coming to seminars in the Club at a set time isn’t always easy, so we have made a video of our popular Nutrition Seminar “Diets Don’t Work. There is a Better Way” so that all members will be able to access it online . It can then be watched and digested at a convenient time. The video will be available on our website from Sunday, 10th September. Look out for the link on our Facebook page or come back here!
The seminar covers:
- Why “diets” don’t work and how to make sustainable changes that will work for you.
- Understanding “habits” – what they do and how you can make them work for you.
- How to make change happen and, more importantly, how to sustain it.
- What simple things you can do straight away to move you in the direction you want to go.
The seminar is suitable for anyone who wants to:
- Try to manage their weight in a way that is sustainable for the long term.
- Understand why they might have struggled with diets in the past.
- Develop a better relationship with food and eat more healthily.
- Get some practical tips on how to make changes and develop good eating habits that will last.
