This lively food education and tasting day will provide you with an introduction into the ketogenic diet, potential health benefits, the variations of the diet and the research behind it.
The ketogenic diet (or keto diet, for short) is a low carbohydrate high fat diet that offers many health benefits.

In fact, over 20 studies show that this type of diet can help to lose weight and improve health. Ketogenic diets may even have benefits against diabetes, cancer, epilepsy and Alzheimer’s disease. This course will provide you with a greater understanding of this dietary approach and confidence to put it into practice.

How will I be taught?

Christine will explain key principles at the same time as preparing dishes for participants to sample. Participants will be able to taste many of the foods and products discussed; be able to explore the benefit of using different foods and nutrients and be able to ask questions to the speaker to better understand principles and practice.

Space is limited to 26 participants. You will be provided with an educational resource that outlines key principles and relevant foods; recipes for dishes/products made on the day and other favourites.

Materials will be provided electronically approximately two weeks before the course. In order to reduce our global footprint, hard copies of materials will not be provided on the day. Delegates are welcome to bring the materials on electronic devices; print and bring the materials or take notes and refer to the electronic versions at a later date. Please note if you book less than 14 working days before the course you may have to wait a few days to receive the link to materials. If you book less than 5 working days before the course or on the day, we cannot guarantee that you will receive the link until after the course.
