Awareness of the food we eat is at an all time high due to the ever increasing levels of obesity, heart disease & diabetes. The continual release of new research into the foods we consume is causing great confusion. Food manufacturers are under pressure to educate the consumer by using easy to read labels, as they are potentially misleading consumers with statements such as; “less than 5% fat” or” sugar free”. Just because it has less than 5% fat doesn’t mean it is healthy to eat. We should be asking; what fat is it - saturated/polyunsaturated? If it’s sugar free how come it tastes sweet?

Advice is given on diet & nutrition in conjunction with personal training & rehabilitation programmes and is essential for those wishing to lead a healthy lifestyle. Clients are encouraged to keep a 1-2 week food diary to look into dietary habits and levels of consumption. However diet and nutrition is not centred only on what it is that is consumed, but also other factors such as the timing of meals and their frequency.

Whatever your total body weight may be, the ratio between lean and fat tissue will determine your health. With the use of modern technology, body composition can be assessed to determine health and create realistic health and fitness targets.

So whether you are looking for a health assessment or to be able to manage your weight, a diet & nutrition evaluation combined with a body composition assessment is essential to ensure you get the results you desire.
