How the ‘finish your plate’ syndrome is killing the nation

March 21, 2014 - PRLog -- A top nutrition and lifestyle advisor is claiming that adults are killing themselves because they can’t bear to leave food on the plate.

Gina Battye says, “All over the world people are eating far too much. They feel like they have to eat everything on their plate due to habits formed in childhood. Parents are telling their children they can’t leave the table until they have ‘finished their plate’. This early conditioning is having a massive impact on the adult population’s health and happiness. Simply cutting back on portion sizes and changing the ‘finish the plate’ mind-set will have a massive impact on obesity levels, cancer rates and heart health.”

Gina’s new book, ‘How to Beat the Biscuit Tin Blues’ is released on Monday 5^th May.

Within it, Gina claims to have the answer to improving health and happiness. She takes the reader on a different approach to what you would normally see in a self-help book.

Her approach has been developed over the years as a result of personal experiences. At the age of 22 whilst shopping with her mother, Gina realised enough was enough. She had piled on the pounds and had reached size 16 without even noticing. Trying on a size 16 shirt was the last straw.

“I had always been petite but had let myself go. I decided I wanted to turn it around. So I read every book and every website I could, to learn how to eat healthier and to make changes to my lifestyle. I tweaked little things along the way and was soon feeling on top of my game. I am now a petite size 6.”

The book focuses on the 5 core elements that transformed Gina’s life: healthy eating, exercise, reducing stress, achieving work-life balance and living in spirit every day.

Readers will look at:

§  The right and wrong foods to eat, whether at home or work

§  Ways to get fit and healthier without joining a gym

§  How to stay stress free, even when your diary is full to busting

§  Juggling a job, home life and still having time and energy at midnight

§  How to live in spirit, slow down and really enjoy every moment of your life

Gina encourages readers to think about the tweaks they could make in their life to become healthier and happier.

61.9% of adults and 28% of children aged between 2 and 15 are obese or overweight in England, according to the Department of Health’s ‘Reducing Obesity and Improving Diet Policy’ (2013). People who are overweight have a higher risk of getting type 2 diabetes, heart disease and certain cancers.

Health problems associated with being overweight or obese cost the NHS more than £5 billion every year.

Gina aims to inform the nation about how little tweaks in your everyday life can make a massive difference to your health and happiness.
