Zest4life is a weight-loss and Lifestyle programme, co-created by Patrick Holford, one of Britain’s most respected nutritionists. He has designed the Low GL diet for fast weightloss and energy improvement. In trials, Low GL has proved to be twice as effective as low calorie, low fat diets.
“Patrick Holford is one of the world's leading authorities on new approaches to health and nutrition”
Daily Mail
How is Zest4life different? Most diets or weight-loss approaches only focus on one element (such as diet, group support or exercise) and usually focus on short-term success. However, the Zest4life programme uniquely draws together all the components that will enable you to be successful – not only at weight loss but at weight maintenance. This is because Zest4life combines personal professional guidance with group support; a healthy balanced low-GL diet with nutritional education and the opportunity to start addressing emotional eating and improve fitness.
Qualified Nutritional advisers and Motivational coaches run the sessions which involve weekly weigh-ins to monitor progress and educational topics including: allergies, motivation, anti-ageing, exercise and healthy eating.
The Zest4life programme has already proved to be highly successful. In addition to weight-loss, those completing the programme have reported added health benefits such as greater energy, lower cholesterol, healthier skin, greater mental alertness, better mood and improved digestion.

Feedback from a client who completed 6 weeks on Zest4life course

Just thought I would drop a line to update you on my progress since finishing the Zest for Life programme in June/July. I thought it was really informative and absolutely what I had been looking for for most of my life(!), and for me appears to have provided the answers to my weight problems (so far).
I lost over 9 pounds (can't think in kg) during the course, then at the end of
August went on holiday for 2 weeks. I tried to follow the basic principles of the eating plan while I was away, but it was difficult as I was not preparing my own food most of the time. When I came back I was expecting to have put on a few pounds, but when I got on the scales I could not believe it - I had LOST another 8 pounds in about 4 weeks!!
I was particularly pleased with how it all went as it had not seemed to be much
effort at all. I have always eaten reasonably healthily, I think, and never really ate an enormous amount, so could not understand why I could not shed the 2 stones in weight I had accumulated over the years, and keep it off. Now I know - it was all down to food cravings for sugar, bread and caffeine. I got rid of those in the first week, and then it was all easy. I had to remember to eat protein with any carbs, and then the weight just fell off. It was great to know I had to eat every 3 hours, so I never felt hungry. I had vowed to myself over the last couple of years that I would never do a calorie controlled diet again, or any way of eating which was not sustainable. Zest for Life has shown me that I can eat healthily, never feel hungry, and have a healthy appetite which does not lead to weight gain. It is easy to follow it wherever I go, as long as I remember the basic principles.
I'm beginning to sound like an advert for the course now, but I do believe that it is the answer we have all been looking for. What I particularly liked was the way we all learnt the information gradually over the course, and the whole psychological thing of setting goals, reviewing and reflecting on our progress etc etc - the whole package is wonderful. I realise that it is not possible just to tell somebody else how to do it - they have to make their own journey and internalise the information.
So, it's all good! Thank you so much for being a wonderful guide and host. I hope to see you again and join one of the courses in the future.
Oh, and I have lost another couple of pounds since I got back from holiday, so now it's about 20 pounds since I began the course. Jan |
