The importance of a balanced approach to your diet is key to a happy and contented relationship with food.
That's why Tate & Lyle and Dr Linda Papadopoulos, a Psychologist and Author, have got together to produce Taste & Smile, a booklet full of helpful information and simple great tasting recipe ideas. To download a copy of this booklet please click here.
From her monthly column in Cosmopolitan to her insightful analysis on Big Brother, Dr Linda Papadopoulos is a respected psychologist who successfully manages her media and academic roles to ensure that she can give considered and practical advice to the nation.
Linda's philosophy gives a common sense approach to food;
"The search for happiness is not about cutting out the things in your life that make/leave you feeling guilty; it's about being able to achieve a sense of perspective. My food philosophy has always been that 'a little of what you fancy does you good'. Incorporating the foods you like into your diet, rather than denying yourself completely, is important not only to your emotional well-being but to your physical well-being too."
A balanced diet means eating in moderation from a variety of foods, so that we get all the nutrients our bodies need to function efficiently.
Diets which narrowly restrict the range of foods you eat may leave you hungry and craving your favourite foods. So it may be a good idea to include a little bit of what you fancy and enjoy eating, exercising and living well. That way you can taste - and smile!
