February 25th, 2010 Diet Club Update

Pudding Pie Diet Club

The trials on our new Diet are going well. We have people with weight losses of up to 1 Stone (14lbs) within a 4 week period.

All this is achieved by eating healthily, no processed foods, you are still able to eat fruit, vegetables, meat, cream, milk, cheese etc, it just has to be done in the right stages and mixed with the correct foods. Once you get into the swing of not eating junk food and processed ingredients it’s easy.

We hope to launch this to a wider trial audience soon.

February 15th, 2010 Obesity ‘often set before age of two’

Pudding Pie Cookery School

A study of more than 100 obese children and teenagers found more than half were overweight by 24 months and 90% were overweight by the age of five.

We run regular classes for children and we see a huge difference in the types of foods they eat. Some don’t even recognise common vegetables in their raw form!

If you need help in understanding healthy options or if you need to learn to cook from scratch we can help. Check out our Courses either in your own home or our Cookery School Kitchen.

February 10th, 2010 Diet Club Update

Pudding Pie Diet Club

Just thought we would keep you up to date with the progress on our New Diet Club.

You may remember we started trialing our new diet a little over a week ago. Well the results are fantastic, with the average weight loss in the first week of 4-5 pounds. The diet simply cuts out all processed foods, sugars and anything that’s not natural, combined with some tasty recipes a few rules of what you can eat and when, and you have a diet that feels like you can eat plenty but helps you lose weight in the process. We hope to roll this out as a pilot exercise soon, so if you fancy giving it a try for us, just get in touch.
