Evidence Based Nutrition Meeting 27th May 2010
The Food and Health Section of the Royal Society of Medicine is holding its next full day presentation on the 27th May 2010.
Overview
- There is currently no consensus about how the beneficial associations between the consumption of foods and food constituents and body health can be tested and firmly established. Conclusive proof is plainly required today as the basis for setting nutrient intake recommendations and for assessing the substantiating evidence for nutritional and physiological benefits in the form of health claims on foods and food constituents.
- The current imperative is that any opinions and recommendations should be ‘evidence based’, an objective with which it would be hard to disagree. However, the key questions relate to what constitutes the totality of the evidence and by what means it should be developed and weighed.
- The purpose of the workshop is therefore to review some of the problems associated with evidence-based nutrition, to discuss what constitutes efficacy for foods and food constituents and how the strength and consistency of the evidence can be assessed.

Effective Weight Loss – National Seminar
Date: February the 9th 2010
Times: Registration: 6.00pm Presentation begins: 6.30pm Concludes: 9.00pm
Location: The Franklin Theatre The Institute of Physics, 76 Portland Place London W1B 1NT (map)
Presenter: Antony Haynes BA(Hons) DipION mBANT

What Is This About?
In 2010, Nutri-Link’s Weight Loss Seminar will focus on a doctor-created programme proven to not only help your patients lose weight but also to achieve and maintain optimal health. The programme has already achieved success in 700 participants, many of whom lost 10 lbs within the first 30 days with very little effort. The programme is a specific combination of high quality nutritional supplements combined with very specific dietary recommendations.
What is Different about this Seminar?
Unlike the Nutri-Link Weight Loss Seminars in 2009, which focused on assessing the individual imbalances associated with excess body fat with a comprehensive questionnaire and case history, this Seminar will focus on exactly what your patients can do in terms of their diet and supplements.
Whilst this is ideal for one to one consultations it has also proved to be very popular in group settings where a strategic approach that covers multiple biochemical requirements simultaneously without the need for individual laboratory assessments makes an economic and weight reducing success.
What will you learn?
Our dynamic presentation will teach you as to why this programme has such a great proven success rate and equip you to put it in practice with individual clients or selected groups the very next day.
The CONTROL-IT programme identifies and addresses the 3 most common roadblocks to weight loss.
The CONTROL-IT programme also comes with positive side effects, in addition to weight loss:
- Increased Energy
- Improved Digestion
- Improved Sleep
- Reduced PMS symptoms
- Improved Mood
- Reduced hot flashes
- Improved Skin / Complexion
- Improved Joint Comfort
- Improved Allergenic Responses
- Improved Blood Pressure

Background: Read the rest of this page »
We live in a society where it is easy to be fat and hard to be fit. We know we are facing an epidemic of obesity in the west, with a rising tide of disease and death to follow. The medical community’s attempts to stop this trend resemble Canute trying to hold back the waves. Too many glib new initiatives have promised much but delivered little.
