Healthy Eating that Works
Practical, Realistic Eating Plans
Our Guests tend to lead busy lives with little time or desire for food preparation; our Programmes include guidance that is practical and sustainable.
We can provide 'best choices' from many of the leading supermarkets and coffee chains if required and even help select menu items from your chosen restaurants.
The key is to work with each guest so that their programme is achievable. If you do wish to food prep or explore a particular diet in advance detail then we are more than happy to provide more in-depth levels of detail and advice; everyone is different.
Above all, the most important aspect of any healthy eating programme is to understand its basis, the short term objective and the long term consideration of nutrient intake upon all aspects of health.
Our Team can even help with Menu Selections from Restaurants, Coffee Chains and Supermarkets.
