Community

Improve health by boosting food knowledge, confidence and love of eating real foods.

Treats can be fine for most people occasionally, but most families are eating way too much of the sweet stuff and junk food everyday, so much so that this is now our new ‘normal’. Just think, what do most families eat for breakfast? Is it home prepared, from fresh ingredients? Or, is it shapes formed in a factory, sprinkled in a bowl from a colourful packet?

Fun Fact: Over 50% of everyday family food is ultra processed i.e. made in factories and does not resemble natural ingredients.

Our talks, workshops and regular groups help families to recognise and cut down on junk food and sugar, improve food skills and help families to enjoy eating more real foods.

Modules

Welcome

Sugar is currently a very hot topic! Many of us are eating and drinking too much of the stuff, too often. The more sugars that have crept into our family foods over the years the more dependant we have become. This is a big concern as more and more studies link the sugary modern diet to weight gain and serious health conditions. So whether you need help to set healthier eating habits, lose weight or to avoid sugars as a first stage to managing health conditions with diet, this course is for you!

Professor Tim Noakes, Banting Diet and Noakes Foundation Founder and Author, shares his tip on how to sugar-free your foods.
