Zest4life Nutrition and Weight loss Programmes

Are you serious about losing weight and improving your health?

Since last january 2011 I have been running Weight Loss programmes as a Zest4life Nutrition and Weight Loss Coach.

Zest4life is an exciting, new and powerful weight loss process designed to motivate you to change and improve your body, your health and your well-being permanently and safely. The programmes are designed to create long lasting change, not a quick fix and are run by trained and qualified Nutritional Therapists. The motivational group programmes run over 11 weeks and consist of weekly 2 hour sessions. Group sizes are kept small usually between 6 and 12 so there is plenty of scope for individual attention.One to one programmes are also available.

I became interested in running weight loss programmes after seeing clients struggle with weight issues on a daily basis. I recognised that having the knowledge about how to lose weight was not enough for people to make lasting changes. What was needed was an intelligent and educational approach that combines coaching, motivation and exercise. Zest4life fulfils all these criteria. This is intelligent weight loss for people who are serious about losing weight and improving their health and who are ready to commit and take action.

I started 2011 by running a diet trial whereby I invited volunteers to join a six week programme. The results were fantastic. Three volunteers lost a stone in weight and most others lost a steady 2lbs or more per week. All Volunteers reported improved health and you can read some of the testimonials at the bottom of this page.
 


Patrick Holford

The zest4life process was developed by a team of experts including Patrick Holford, one of Britain's most respected Nutritionists. The vital ingredient of motivational weight loss coaching is an integral part of the process. This helps to set goals, overcome emotional eating and barriers to success so that you remain motivated to reach your objectives and really change your life for good.

What is the eating plan and what is good about it?

You will follow Patrick's delicious and easy to follow, gourmet low GL eating plan which has proven in many trials to be twice as effective as low calorie, low fat diets. Many people are confused by the myriad of fad diets and conflicting information in books and magazines. We provide you with the opportunity to re-learn how to eat properly and healthily - in a way you can continue for the rest of your lives. You will learn what foods you can and can't eat, how often and how much. Following a low GL diet banishes hunger, cravings and energy dips. You will transform from a sluggish fat storing body to an efficient fat burning machine and all it takes is 30 days!

What results can I expect?

Client Testimonials

These are a selection of comments from people who took part in the 6 week Diet Trial:-

I am really convinced by this way of eating. My sugar cravings have gone, my need for chocolate and coffee, sugar and tea to keep me going has been eradicated, and my mood and energy slumps in the early /late afternoon are not there anymore. My joints no longer ache, and when I get up in the morning I do not walk so stiffly, I feel suppler and lively. My hair feels softer and I have days when I feel really good.
I have really enjoyed the programme and have learnt such a lot about food. If you had given me a book I would never have taken it all in. The programme has been the thing that has motivated me and kept me on track. Thank you so much.
Cate

I really enjoy the eating plan; it has opened up a new range of food and drinks to me and given my cooking experiences a boost with exiting and tasty new recipes. I feel, ‘invigorated,’ have much more energy and enjoy exercise which is something I haven’t enjoyed in years. I have lost 4 inches round my hips and 3 ½ inches at my waist and already buying clothes 2 sizes smaller all within 6 weeks. Thanks.
Fiona

My aim was to loss ½ a stone during this trial. In fact I lost 8lbs so I am delighted with the results. I have seen this as a life change rather than a diet.
Pat

Since moving to a low GL diet I have lost 1 ½ stones. I have found this way of eating easy and enjoyable to follow. I have increased energy and feel more positive. I am now following the diet with an 80/20 rule to maintain my weight loss and this is working well.
