Change your life one bite at a time... With the help of Healthy Eating Every Day...

Levels of obesity have tripled in England since 1980, and there is no sign of the upward trend stopping. Currently, over half of women and about two-thirds of men are either overweight or obese. Being overweight or obese increases the risk of developing heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and osteoarthritis. Obesity causes about 18 million sick days and 30,000 deaths a year in England alone (source: National Audit Office). Most Britons are aware of the health benefits of healthy eating but do not have the necessary skills to eat healthily. Research shows that most people want to improve their eating habits, but experience difficulties in maintaining a strict diet.

Healthy Eating Every Day uses a unique approach to help people improve their eating habits. I knew I needed to go beyond telling people what to eat. People generally know what they should eat. But that knowledge often doesn’t translate into actually eating the way they should.

This personalised, habit-changing programme tackles the underlying causes of unhealthy eating and introduces the tools to help people counter them. I am excited to be offering Healthy Eating Every Day, because it empowers people to change their eating habits permanently and it fits my mission of helping people improve their health in effective, realistic ways.

In each session of the program, participants uncover a new skill that they can carry into their daily lives to make changes gradually for long-term results. These skills include the following:

• Identifying and learning to overcome triggers to unhealthy eating
• Learning to make healthy food choices at work, at home, when travelling, when shopping for food, and while dining out
• Discovering how to eat well, even when life is hectic
• Discerning the truth about nutrition information in the media

Healthy Eating Every Day also provides a personalised and sensible approach to eating well that people enjoy and can live with. People choose to work on any of five different goal areas, based on their needs, lifestyles and personal preferences. The programme doesn’t place restrictions on any foods; rather people learn to eat a balanced diet while still enjoying foods they like.
