How Social Environment Shapes Your Food Choices and Eating Behaviour.

Do you know how it feels trying to eat healthier but finding it challenging to keep it up when eating with family, dining out with friends/coworkers/clients, or attending celebrations, sports events, etc.?

"I love my family, but every time we get together, it's like a carb and sugar fest. I try to stick to salads and lean proteins, but then Aunt Linda insists I try her famous lasagna and homemade pies."

"Business meetings are the worst. There's always a spread of pastries in the morning and pizza for lunch. Trying to snack on my almonds while everyone else dives into donuts is a constant battle."

"Any celebration means cake. Having to deal with the pushy 'just one bite won't hurt' comments is exhausting."

Despite a wealth of information available on how to eat healthier, social eating remains one of the most challenging scenarios to navigate for those trying to improve their eating habits.

When eating with others, an individual's commitment to healthier eating is tested against various factors. I bet you have no idea just how much your cultural and social environment influences your food choices and eating habits!

From subtle influences, such as marketing messages or seeing someone pass by sipping on a large fancy coffee drink, to more obvious ones, like encouragement or criticism, food shaming, or pressure from your dining partners.

In this small group event, we will explore the fascinating world of human eating behaviour — what makes us eat, the role the social & cultural environment plays in shaping our food choices and eating habits, and most importantly, how you can learn to navigate social eating with ease, confidence, balance, and joy.

You will identify your individual set of triggers behind your challenges with healthy eating in social settings and unlock powerful insights, highlighting a path towards lasting positive changes.
