A number of interactive and enjoyable workshops are offered along with interesting and informative cooking classes.

Some of the important reasons for a balanced nutritional diet are outlined as follows:

WORKSHOPS

An introductory workshop on diet and nutrition and the role it can play in establishing a healthier lifestyle. During the interactive workshop participants will learn to assess the healthiness of their current diet and learn how to modify it to become healthier. Prior to attending this workshop participants will be asked to complete a self-nutrition assessment questionnaire. This questionnaire will then be reviewed with direction given on how to simply and effectively improve eating habits. Specialized diet performance diaries are also introduced for self-monitoring enabling you to gauge improvements in such things as concentration, energy, weight, body shape, hydration and food awareness.

The aim of this interactive workshop is to broaden participant's knowledge of what they are actually eating from a nutritional perspective whilst dining out. Lily Hamdan goes through some of Sydney's top restaurant menus during this workshop in what is a quite practical and enlightening session.

Topics covered here include:

• Fats: the good, the bad and the truth
• Carbohydrates: the role in energy, weight, sports recovery and diabetes
• Proteins: animal and vegetable sources; the role in weight management; vegetarianism; weight management
• Vitamins and Minerals: to supplement or not to supplement? That is the Question.

Specific seminars can be developed as requested e.g. nutrition and heart disease, vegetarianism, nutrition and women's health.

Planning and preparation are the keys to eating healthily. This workshop is designed to help participants to do weekly menu planning, which includes clever shopping so that you can always have all that you need to eat healthily. No excuses.
