The lunch was preceded by a cooking class specifically designed for weight control, arranged by Novo Nordisk Taiwan. Ahead of the main presentation at the lunch, Novo Nordisk General Manager Steve Profit gave a short summary of the class, which was attended by around 20 people, of various ages and walks of life, including some celebrity bloggers. The class began with an introduction to a healthy diet and tips for weight control by dietician Charlotte Chen. This was followed by a cooking demonstration by a professional chef from Pierrot Bistro and a hands-on cooking experience for all the participants.
