AUTUMN AND WINTER RETREATS WITH AMANDA – PORTUGAL, CHAMPNEYS, STOBO CASTLE…AND YOUR OWN DETOX COURSES!



AUTUMN IS ON US…

With schools back (do I hear some of you muttering “hooray”?) many of us are turning to the autumn and winter months with a measure of trepidation (Noddy Holder on permanent Festive rotation only 12 weeks away) and anxiety (how the heck do I get this summer weight off?).

Well, we have a few things which may help – detox and weight loss retreats at Champneys, Stobo Castle, Portugal’s Alma Verde and – soon to be launched – the incomparable Gleneagles.

Plus, if you want to do “Your Own Detox & Weight Loss” retreats then we have flexible programmes from 3 days or more at Stobo Castle and our local Macdonald Marine Hotel & Spa in North Berwick.

Or join us on our popular 28 Day Home Weight Loss Programme – proven to help lose pounds, shape up and feel fab in the process.

28 Day Detox for Weight Loss Update

For those on the 28 Day Weight Loss Programme we’ll be updating the Workbook with new autumn recipes which we’ll highlight in the document.

We’re planning also to hold my first webchat, and will send you an email shortly to get some questions from you in advance!

Remember that you can dip back in to the programme at any time; it’s a system that is designed to be able to be picked up at any time.

What else?

There’s a whole host of other things going on, including a new book commission for October, new columns in MSN and Health & Fitness Magazine, filming for BBC Scotland’s “Landward“, a new clinic launched at Edinburgh’s Remedy Room Spa, and a new fitcamp to be launched at Cameron House this winter…never a dull day!

Take care, and don’t hesitate to contact me or Heather to discuss any retreat, clinic or weight loss query by emailing us here or calling 0871 890 1331.

AMANDA HAMILTON SAYS YOU ‘CAN’ DO HEALTHY EATING

Nutritionist and broadcaster Amanda Hamilton is the latest to join the team of experts who say you ‘can’ do healthy eating as a spokesperson for Canned Food UK.

Amanda who is best known as a presenter on BBC Two programme ‘Something for the Weekend’ and the hit series “Spa of Embarrassing Illnesses”, joins celebrity chef James Martin and fellow nutritionists Amanda Ursell and Lyndel Costain in backing a health and nutrition campaign from Canned Food UK.

Amanda says “My ethos is all about providing simple, cost-effective ways of providing the right nutrients for ourselves and our families – and canned food sits alongside that perfectly. Many people overlook canned goods as a source of nutrition but as they are cooked in the can, the nutrients are locked in, preserving all the goodness naturally. And they also count towards your 5-A-Day.”

To mark Amanda joining the Canned Food UK team, she has contributed to a new leaflet ‘Open the Can for Healthy Eating’ providing a brief overview of the benefits of canned food, from nutrition to environmental benefits. Please visit www.cannedfood.co.uk to download or order a free copy, use the comprehensive recipe database or enter our free monthly competition.

As a mother of four, Amanda understands the importance of providing easy and delicious ways to give your family the healthy balanced diet that canned food can offer. The no-fuss, can-venience of cans mean that you can save your time and energy as no preparation is needed, simply open the can!

The long shelf life of cans means you can store all sorts of affordable, delicious additions to classic recipes, with absolutely no wastage. What’s more, the canning process locks in all the vitamins and minerals without containing any artificial preservatives.
