Hong Kong University's Dietetic Clinic for Teaching and Research will conduct a series of Adult Weight Management Workshops at the Admiralty Centre in Hong Kong. The first workshop will start on Wednesday, August 20.

The workshops will be conducted by a registered dietitian to provide inputs on healthy eating and the essence of healthy body weight. Participants will personally assess their own diets in order to come up with new ways on improving their food intake. Talks regarding how to pick out food when in a restaurant as well as proper reading of food labels and altering recipes for a healthier menu will also be conferred. A fitness professional will provide details on how to integrate exercise in one's lifestyle as part of weight management.

Each workshop will be limited to 4-6 enrollees to impart a more hands-on approach to each participant.
