The Healthy Living Menu has been especially developed for GUSTO by Living Ventures' Executive Chef John Branagan in partnership with nutritional biochemist Jeannette Jackson, BSc (Hons) and in association with the Adidas Wellness Clinics. The Healthy Living Menu not only promotes, optimises and helps maintain good health it also combines intense flavours and an extensive selection of ingredients that belies the old saying that "if it's good for you it can' t be interesting"

At the heart of our Healthy Living Menu, like the GUSTO main menu, is the selection of high quality fresh organic ingredients and cooking practises that do not rely on the use of excessive fat , sugar or sal t but maximises nutritional content . The result is a diverse selection of fabulous dishes that not only promote good health but cater for those with special requirements such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol .

We have had each dish assessed to find its calorie count as well as its fat , carbohydrate, fibre and cholesterol properties. These are listed underneath each item as are the percentage of the recommended guideline intake for an average adult . Each dish has then been assessed against an easy to read table detailing their essential healthy characteristics.

Tim Bacon, Managing Director commented on the idea behind the menu:

" I took the decision to create the Healthy Living Menu after going on holiday and admiring a menu approach that informed as well as fed. The aim is to create a menu that allows people to eat out yet see exactly what they are putting in their mouths in terms of calories, fat, carbohydrates, salt and gives an overview of what the dish does for them nutritionally. More people in the UK are now looking for healthy alternatives and are more conscious about what food they eat so it plays into the oldest of business principals of giving the customer what they want.
