A diet revolution that promises real weight loss

Exercise and sport expert Professor Tim Noakes’ low in carbohydrates and high in health fats diet, is revolutionising conventional thinking about weight loss and well-being, and converts are throwing out carbs and sugar in favour of healthy fats and protein.

The revolutionary diet

Now, the launch of the Real Meal Revolution diet and recipe book by T. Noakes, S. Creed, J. Proudfoot, D. Grier, and published by Quivertree Publications, is spurring frustrated dieters across South Africa to adopt a new approach to food.

The Real Meal Revolution is set to change lives and grocery lists, one meal at a time. The book is based on thorough research, which is shattering conventional beliefs about weight loss, heart health, obesity and cholesterol as well as many other health related issues.

The grocery retailer, Wellness Warehouse, is expecting an influx of dieters in search of specific products on the eating plan and has accommodated the diet on its shelves, including a ‘Starter Pack’ with the book.

“We support healthy eating in every form, and this diet has proved to be very successful in dealing with obesity, insulin resistance and heart health in a large number of people,” says Sean Gomes MD of Wellness Warehouse.

With people following the diet reporting more energy, fewer (or no) cravings, better blood glucose and insulin readings, weight loss and better sleeping habits, it’s no surprise that people are queuing up to join the revolution. [/su_pullquote]

The crack squad behind the Real Meal Revolution - scientist Tim Noakes, a nutritionist Sally-Ann Creed, and chef-athletes Jonno Proudfoot and David Grier - have walked or in some cases run the hard yards of nutritional science and self-experimentation. The revelatory stance and the mouth-watering recipes in this book are the result of their combined experience plus scientific evidence.

How to join the revolution

Gomes says that for the diet to work one should have almond flour or psyllium husks to use in place of traditional starches, and nuts, healthy oils, seeds and biltong on hand to ensure you are eating enough healthy fat.

“The ‘Banting’ diet on which Tim Noakes has based his research, requires a radical change in food buying and preparation. In conjunction with the launch of the book, we are offering consumers the opportunity to purchase a starter kit, which will help kick-start their journey to better health. The starter kit contains olive and coconut oils, nuts and suitable snacks, plus a number of less common ingredients used in the book such as: coconut and almond flours, psyllium husk, raw linseed and tahini spread,” says Gomes.

With people following the diet reporting more energy, fewer (or no) cravings, better blood glucose and insulin readings, weight loss and better sleeping habits, it’s no surprise that people are queuing up to join the revolution.

The Real Meal Revolution book (R298 including VAT) and the Wellness Warehouse starter kit (R899 including VAT) are available from Wellness Warehouse stores or through the online shop. For more information, please visit www.wellnesswarehouse.com/shop/ or contact 021 487 5420.
