It has been demonstrated time and time again that diets don't work, and so to address this, our Nutritional Therapist, Helen Lynam, has started a programme she calls “Why Weight?” This is not a “slimming” club.  This is a “healthy eating” group.

This is a group where you will:

·         have a weekly weigh in and get your body composition data (weight, hydration, fat %, BMI)

·         learn nutritional facts each week – there are over 20 different topics over 20 weeks (see below), including, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, calories, interpreting food packets and advertising, alcohol, hydration, pre and probiotics, diet diaries and dairy (each week is stand alone, so don't worry if you can't make every week)

·         try new foods

·         discuss topical nutritional issues

·        get support from like minded people

·         lose weight – without dieting or calorie counting

·         gain energy, by understanding how food may impact your health

Times:

Thursday evenings 19:30 – 20:45

Cost:

If you just want to attend one off classes as and when you can, then the charge is £8 on the night.
