How delighted am I to hear that at last everyone is getting so tuned in to health that sales of crisps, fizzy drinks, sweets and chocolate are down down down.
I, amongst others here and in our industry, have spent the best part of 20 years educating people about the dangers and pitfalls of too much sugar, fat and refined white flour, additives, and preservatives etc, so to hear that at last in ‘the Grocer’ that sales of Healthy Living items such as probiotic yogurts, hot cereals, nutritious soups, nuts and low fat, low salt snacks are on the up is sheer delight.

The GL Diet revolution
However the GL revolution is upon us and I’m optimistic. I also have some new friends, Diet Freedom, an organisation founded by 2 ex-serial dieters along with Nigel Denby of Channel 4′s ‘the Fit Farm’ fame. Nigel is a dietitian who works within the NHS Hospitals in addition to a private Harley Street clinic, where he uses a low glycaemic Load diet to great effect for weight loss, hormonal problem, PCOS and menopause issues.
Diet Freedom have written two books to date; ‘The GL Diet’ and the newly released ‘The 7 Day GL Diet’. Both of these are recommended reading by me.
The great thing about the Diet Freedom crew is that they are totally focused on recommending a low GL diet using health ‘natural’ foods and ingredients. You can find out more about Diet Freedom, their oline membership service and support forums from their website www.dietfreedom.co.uk
