Are you a secret snacker?
Thursday, 10 July 1:05pm
Millions of us (96% of Brits) admit to snacking in secret - feeling ashamed about the mid morning munchies. So we've asked Nigel Denby, Registered Dietitian & founder of www.grub4life.org.uk to host a Web Chat on Wednesday 9th July at 6.30 p.m. to blow the myths on snacking. He'll give you some great tips on how & when to snack & even how to use snacks to control weight. If you have a question go to the WebChat room now - questions will be answered on a first served basis only - leave it for Nigel and come back next Wednesday to see his answer!
