It is not always easy to eat a balanced diet, especially when you lead a busy life or often eat meals out. Supermarket shelves are filled with more and more food products while restaurants and cafés serve endless meal options.
Are these workshops for you?
Do you want to know how to shop for a balanced diet? Do you want to be able to read and understand food labels and know what is in the products you are buying? Do you feel overwhelmed on your lunch break by the different meals available each day in the restaurants and cafés close to your work? Do you worry that you might not be choosing healthy and balanced meals? Come to one of our practical workshops and you will find answers to all your questions!
