“Thanks to everybody that attended our third LIVFIT meeting at King’s College Hospital – the turnout was our best yet! It was our pleasure to welcome nutritionist Ben Atkinson whose talk was packed with practical tips about making wiser food choices and it was great to see everyone asking Ben questions at the end.
Ben was keen to not vilify particular food groups but advised us to choose less processed foods, i.e. chose foods you can find in nature such as fruit and vegetables. He also talked about the benefits of eating a variety of colourful food whilst avoiding beige foods and substituting white bread, rice and pasta for wholegrain/brown where possible. He also asked us to be mindful of the calories we drink, advising us to stay hydrated with water as sometimes we can mistake thirst for hunger.”
