The
National Food Survey conducted by the Ministry of Agriculture
Fisheries and Food says the average person eats about 20% less than
they did in 1970. However, time pressures and the advent of ‘junk food’
also means that many of us aren’t eating very wisely.
Consequently,
more than half the UK population are now overweight and one in seven
is regarded as obese - twice the level recorded in 1980. Obesity is
costing the National Health Service at least £200 million a year - £30
million on slimming-down the 7.5 million who are very fat; the rest on
treating other health problems caused by being overweight. Statistics
show that people who are just 20% over their standard weight run a
number of health risks, including a 50% greater risk of cardiovascular
disease and a 40% greater risk of diabetes.
Despite
the millions of pounds spent on research and the dozens of magazine
articles heralding yet another ‘amazing new diet’, it is clear that no
one has succeeded in finding a safe, nutritious and effective weight
management programme that is easy enough to appeal to the majority.
Forever
has designed its Forever Nutri-Lean Programme as a weight management
plan that can be adapted to the needs of many. It is nourishing,
enjoyable and deliberately easy to use.
