Nutrition Course – Association for Nutrition Certified - L3&4
-
I’m very happy that I have done this training. The metabolic rate and the health assessment were very educational. You discussed with me what my goals were and helped me to accomplish them. You taught me that I can eat healthy and have a very varied diet on a vegetarian diet. You assisted me a lot in my main concern, which was my belly fat. Had various attempts previously to get rid of, with no success but this time I have finally resolved this problem, thanks to you. My physical tiredness and fatigue is completely gone. I have so much more energy. I have learnt how to eat healthy and choose fresh food alternatives while I’m at work. Thank you for helping me to reach my weight goals too.

We will also focus on examining special diets, children’s diets, marketing terminology and food labels. You will also gain practical guidance on how to affect human behaviour, understanding how to assess and measure dietary intake and how to adjust for specific needs.
