Nutrition / Appetite for Life

Appetite for Life is a healthy lifestyle and weight loss programme for women developed by Community and Public Health, and run by Bronwen King, a well known Nutritionist in the Canterbury Area.

Using an "anti-diet" approach, it assists women to develop a new relationship with food and say no to dieting forever.

Appetite for Life assists women to:

  • Eat for health, not weight
  • Enjoy activity
  • Make informed decisions about food
  • Prepare healthy food, adjust recipes
  • Feel and look better
  • Identify non-hungry eating and replace this with healthier behaviour

Appetite for Life food tasting 

Food tasting is an important part of the course.

The programme involves small group sessions for two hours a week over a six week period. Sessions are led by an accredited facilitator from a medical practice (usually the practice nurse). The course is highly subsidised and available at the low cost of $25 per person for the complete 6 week programme.
