The average Briton is piling on the pounds: the Health Survey for England results for 2015 showed that 62.9% of adults were overweight or obese (67.8% of men and 58.1% of women). But how can we fix this if the amount of conflicting information on nutrition has left us all wondering what on earth we’re meant to be eating?
The good news is the humble British pub is one of the healthiest places you can eat: a glass of red and the roast of the day can be the way forward. This unique masterclass with best-selling author and entrepreneur Sarah Wilson will show you how to beat food politics and get on with living a good life.
Sarah’s advice is simple, exciting and will come as a massive relief (SPOILER ALERT: chocolate and red wine are “allowed”). For the past six years, she has advocated a sugar-free lifestyle, switching 1.2 million people around the world off the white stuff.
In the first few years of her research, the sugar-quitting movement was deemed a passing fad. But, as Sarah responded to the sceptics, surely the past 50 years of adding sugar to 80% of our foodstuffs is the passing trend versus millions of years of sugar-free diet?
During this informative day, you will learn you how to decipher information on nutritional labels and what to order in a food court at lunch time, while cutting down your weekly food bill and no longer having sad, limp vegetables you will never get round to eating at the back of your fridge.
