The Food Clinic is delighted to announce that we have moved to our new premises! Our new clinic operates from 312A Tanglin Road, Phoenix Park Office Campus, Block S #01-02 Singapore 247976.

Our new premises include a custom built kitchen sponsored by Fisher and Paykel. We are very excited about the classes and teaching opportunities our new kitchen will be able to offer our patients and clients. We have teamed up with wonderful chef Jane Glascow from The Pantry, who will be providing the practical cookery know-how to complement the nutritional knowledge provided by our dietitians.

If you are interested in arranging one-on-one practical cookery instruction to help you with the day to day preparation of your special diet, please contact us. We are able to tailor make classes to suit your every need!

Cooking Courses and Workshops – Coming soon!

Meals without Tears – November 2009

This programme of three workshops, facilitated by a Dietitian and Clinical Psychologist, aims to give parents the tools to help their child feel confident about new and familiar foods, to take away the fear, stress and pressure often associated with mealtimes.

Ultimately we want to put some excitement, fun, discovery and enjoyment back into eating and food for the whole family! Individual follow up sessions can be arranged once the workshops have been completed.

Cooking for Food Allergies

This course is recommended for food allergy sufferers or anyone who has to prepare food for a member of the family who is food allergic.

Our course is free from the top 8 allergens, however, can be adapted to suit the needs of all participants.

Low GI Cooking

GI is short for Glycaemic Index. Research shows that eating foods with a low GI can have a number of benefits to your health.

• Low GI diets are more effective at promoting weight loss than conventional weight loss diets
• Eating a low GI diet can improve blood sugar control in people with diabetes and improve insulin sensitivity
• Low GI diets can reduce blood levels of cholesterol
• A low GI diet, along with lifestyle changes may also benefit those with Metabolic Syndrome X (a condition characterized by reduced insulin sensitivity, obesity, high blood pressure and abnormal blood fats)

This cooking course is recommended for anyone who follows or wishes to follow a low GI diet for weight loss, diabetes, improved sports endurance or to improve general health and well-being.

To register or to receive further information on any of the above courses please call Raudah on: 6254 3714 or e-mail: enquiries@thefoodclinic.com
