I'm Changing the Way I Eat!

Why you might ask? Well, I have to share with you an amazing seminar I attended a couple of weeks ago organised by the International Institute of Anti-Ageing. The guest speaker was leading nutritionist Patrick Holdford who is involved with the IIAA and often speaks at their conferences.

The theme of the seminar was how the effects of a poor diet affect our entire health – from the illnesses we get, including obesity, to the damaging effect it has on our skin. And there was some incredible scientific evidence to back this up.

Patrick Holford believes that by following a GL (glycemic load) diet, most cases of obesity and ill health could be avoided purely by changing the way we eat. By balancing the amount of carbohydrate and protein we eat and increasing our low gl vegetable intake, you regulate your blood sugar levels and avoid those sudden sugar cravings that send our healthy eating days into meltdown. He has seen amazing success with people following this way of eating who have lost impressive amounts of weight, rid themselves of lifelong illnesses and taken their energy levels through the roof.

Another impressive speaker at the seminar was Professor John G Ionescu PhD who is Scientific Director and founder of the Spezialklinik Neukirchen in Germany. His facility takes on cases referred by doctors and hospitals for patients with such severe skin conditions that conventional treatments have failed. By carrying out in-depth food intolerance tests, they pretty much have a 100% success rate purely by discovering what foods their patients are intolerant to and begin eliminating them from their diets. The results were staggering. People who had suffered with debilatating skin disorders for most of their lives were cured of all symptoms in around six to eight weeks. It was truly amazing.

So everyone, that is why I’ve changed the way I eat. I am now following the low gl way of eating and have even managed to go out to dinner a few times AND have the odd glass of wine and have still lost weight and increase my energy levels. And I feel great!

In fact, I am so convinced in the benefits of this way of eating that we are setting up the Amara Fit Club to help those of you who want to take control of your weight, health and energy levels. The first programme will consist of an intensive two week nutrition and exercise plan to kick start your metabolism and help you shed the pounds, followed by a maintenance programme to help you keep your weight loss off and continue with it.
