Lanceford lost 8kg
“I found the programme very educational. You can talk about putting food in a specific area on the plate, but with Caribbean dinners you have to consider the height of the food too.
Lanceford’s story
Lanceford Brown, 56, from Stockwell (pictured) has lost 8kg since joining the programme at West Norwood Health and Leisure Centre. He has type 2 diabetes and has taken high blood pressure medication since his mid-30s.
“I found the programme very educational. You can talk about putting food in a specific area on the plate, but with Caribbean dinners you have to consider the height of the food too.
“The main thing that the programme has given me is structure – it allows me to plan my meals at regular times, I do my exercise at regular times and now I’m very specific with my shopping. I stay away from the processed food – everything in moderation, even if I am buying the healthier option. You learn to choose fresh produce, and brown rice rather than white rice.”
