Environmental
The environment we live in will influence our lifestyle and diet behaviours.
Fast Food
Food has become more problematic then drugs because it’s inexpensive and convenient. The food industry has realised that there’s nothing faster than food that hits the reward centres of the brain. In the UK, fifty percent of our consumed food is termed as ultra-processed. That makes us the fattest in Europe. It is the manipulative power of ultra-processed foods that will literally make us eat when we feel full.

Never Enough Time
In our modern daily lives, we have many chronic, non-physical stressors that - over time - negatively affect our health. People who are “stress eaters” will result in increases in insulin, weight and the stress hormone, cortisol, during a stressful period. In a nut shell, those who have the greatest amount of stress, based on the environment they live in, will likely consume the greatest amount of high-fat, sugary food that’s simply not good for us.

Combat Loneliness
Taking advantage of the time we have to connect is important in combatting the negative feelings that are present during any time of isolation. During our meet-up groups members can find information, advice, and are able to chat. We believe having someone to talk to can better help members to cope with their current lifestyle. We are in this together and can offer understanding, help and support for each other.
