23.01.2022 This week is NUTRITION WEEK. There has been a lot written about diets, whether they work - which is the best and so on. There is now a fair amount of evidence to say that most diets don't work over time. Maybe the exception to this is Michael Moseley's approach to dieting. Whilst we don't promote dieting as a norm or due to societal pressure, as discussed in this video there are health benefits to being within certain weight brackets Anyway here is a brief discussion from ...a BBC breakfast show. You can get more information on line or from his book. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjI8iHVUe5o See more
