“Having tried most forms of dieting I found this one the most enjoyable and educational.  Actually learning how the body uses different food and how it would be stored is very helpful.  My indigestion problems have greatly improved, and I do feel more energised and less irritable.
Another positive is my husband has joined me on my healthy eating plan and he himself has lost nearly 8lbs. As two people heading into their mid-50’s it has been a real eye opener which will greatly improve our overall health moving forward”

 “I have really enjoyed learning how to eat really nutritious lovely food and lose weight.  I found the group really motivating and this enhanced my positive attitude to losing weight.  Thank you Heidi”
SOPHIE K - JULY 2011

“I have really enjoyed following the programme as it has felt that I am not on a ‘diet’ as I am just making more informed and better (food) choices at all times.  I am now feeling empowered for my new changed lifestyle.  I have lost body fat and inches, gained muscle mass whilst also improving my metabolism.  So many indicators such as very dry scaly skin, this has dramatically improved.
It has been very easy and life changing for me with very effective coaching and support. 
Well done Heidi …and to me too!”
HAROLD D – JULY 2011

 “After 3 weeks I feel completely in control and keen to continue.  This programme is for your health as much as your weight-loss and this can only be beneficial.
Many people over retirement age could improve their over-all health considerably by following these principles – it is never too late!”
CATHERINE S (AGED 70) – JULY 2011

“When I arrived at Heidi’s group 4 weeks ago I was very sceptical to say the least.  I didn’t believe that I could lose weight and feel healthy with food.  I was also concerned that healthy eating would irritate my irritable bowel and make me bloated. 
The first week was spent getting my head round the plan, which I found surprisingly easy.  I hadn’t eaten breakfast for 5 years so my lifestyle and body were in for a shock.  4 weeks later I feel healthier having lost 2lbs a week. This plan is definitely the way forward for me and I am now aiming for the light at the end of the tunnel!!
VYVYAN - JULY 2011

I have tried many diets from the age of 14 through to 50 with varying degrees of success.  Although I have lost large amounts of weight I have not been able to keep it off and then I would put it back on and become even heavier than before!  Each time I became more disillusioned and found it harder to lose weight.
This is the first time that I feel genuinely excited by a diet; I think it may be because it doesn’t feel like a diet.  It feels like I am learning to eat properly, but actually for my health as I am able to eat a range of foods that are enjoyable, I don’t feel deprived.
Thank you for inspiring me and making me believe I can lose weight”
KARON D – JULY 2011

“Heidi is lovely – really knows her stuff and is very motivational.  I have underlying health issues so my improvements have been in small steps.  I’ve lost 7lbs in 3 weeks and I do feel better with less bloating, however I feel there is still some way to go.  It has been very educational having learnt a lot about optimal health and how to achieve it”
TINA M - JULY 2011

“I am very pleased with my weight loss over the past 4 weeks.  I have changed my eating habits and have really enjoyed the different foods that I have been trying.  I have found that I am eating a lot more food whilst feeling healthier and fitter for it”
ELLEN U - JULY 2011

“I have found the GL programme to be really beneficial to myself, being a severe asthmatic this programme has given me more energy to exercise.  By changing my diet I do not feel tired in the afternoons and am able to get on with things more naturally. 
The programme is very informative and has given me a knowledge and understanding of the foods that I eat.  I felt this programme was the last chance for me to change my diet and lose weight as being on steroids has really hindered my life!  I am so pleased I have done this programme and was given the opportunity”
MARIA Mc - JULY 2011

“zest4life has been very educational and both Heidi and the other members of the group have been very supportive.  This is definitely a lifestyle change and not a diet – something that I can continue forever unlike diets I have tried before”
LIS S - JULY 2011

 “I have been very motivated and inspired by the course.  The people here are very friendly and encouraging whilst Heidi is very passionate about the zest4life lifestyle.  Very motivational and makes you think about your overall health and wellbeing”
MARCIA F - JULY 2011

 “This is a very informative programme with lots of nutritional information, facts and figures.
The work books provided were very useful which offered a good resource and reference guide. 
The food choices are basically very easy to find in the supermarket or health food store and many were things that I would already be eating. 
The food diary is a good method of accountability and raising awareness of what been eaten.
Weight loss per se has been slow; however this was not my main focus, although some fat loss has occurred… so I look forward to seeing that move in the right direction as time progresses”
MARILYN D (HYPNOTHERAPIST & ACCELERATED LEARNING COACH) - JULY 2011

“I was extremely doubtful that my energy levels would increase, however in only a couple of weeks I have noticed an improvement.  I am sleeping less and not so tired.  Another positive is less bloating and embarrassing flatulence.  I would recommend the programme”
HEATHER A - JULY 2011

“Since starting the GL diet I have noticed that I am less bloated and not so constipated.  My cravings are not that great but I have noticed since eating this way I don’t miss eating rice/pasta/potatoes!  I am really embracing this way of eating and I feel good knowing that what I am eating is healthy and nutritious and good for my overall health.  I really hope to keep repeating this way and to continue to lose weight”
MICHELLE L - JULY 2011

“Eating this way has helped me feel lighter, it has given me more energy and I don’t have my 4pm tiredness anymore.  I feel better about the way I eat and am more knowledgeable about the effects that sugar has on my body”
DIANE C - JULY 2011

“It’s a great course, great to learn all about food, exercise and health.  A new way of life, thank you so much”
TONI D - JULY 2011

“Since starting zest4life I have been conscious of my eating habits and have cut out some of my carbohydrates.  I have also been taking Cinnachrome for one week and have definitely noticed less sugar cravings.  Although I have not lost a lot of overall weight I have lost some fat.”
