Eat Up - Help with Healthy Eating

Do you find information about healthy eating confusing?
Then, why not come to an Eat Up group?

Eat Up was launched in April 2008  and is a new healthy eating programme which has been developed by the Community Dietetic Service and the Health Improvement Team (Acute Services) to assist the general adult population to make improvements to their diet.

A six week programme

Each programme will consist of 6 weekly group sessions of approximately 1 hour duration and will cover:

• Goal setting and motivation
• Key healthy eating messages
• Cookery demonstration – practical tips on how to reduce sugar, fat and salt when preparing meals
• Food labeling
• Shopping tour – planning meals, budgeting and shopping wisely
• Carbohydrates
• Eating out and alcohol

The programme is free of charge and open to all, over 16 years of age.
