Let Diet Chef help you out this Christmas!

Two words: Christmas party - enough to put the fear into even the most preened and pampered women. (EDITOR: And some chaps, too!)

But here's another two words: Diet Chef - the easy weight loss plan here to help you get you into your LBD and party the festive season away.

Diet Chef is here to support women in the lead up to Christmas as the one stop solution for losing weight sensibly. Enough time is wasted in the kitchen over the festive period preparing for Christmas parties and dinners without the added hassle of having to calorie count too. So imagine if you had your own personal chef who planned your meals, measured out the portions, did all the cooking for you and delivered it to your door.

Executive Chef Alan Mathieson has created a whole range of delicious and mouth-watering meals that come in 1,200 calorie a day hampers (mainly for women) and 1,500 calorie a day hampers (mainly for men). It’s the easiest way to stick to a calorie-controlled diet that is actually enjoyable and packed full of flavour.

In the Diet Chef range you’ll find all your winter warming favorites including porridge and soups in a variety of flavours and a scrumptious ready meal for dinner. You can also choose a snack a day from a selection of bars, biscuits, oat bites or popcorn to keep hunger at bay.

The nutritionally balanced menu means Diet Chef delivers a healthy pace of weight loss, which will be much easier to keep off! So you will be eating real, tasty food with healthy ingredients and losing weight – the icing on the cake for anyone’s Christmas.

Diet Chef Founder Kevin Dorren, says: “At this time of year everyone is counting the pennies, and at Diet Chef it’s no exception. We’ve ensured that our delicious diet delicacies are affordable for everyone at only £5.57 per day which is what the average Londoner usually spends on lunch alone!”

Jenny, 36, Norwich, says: “I’m really excited about getting my LBD out for Christmas, it’s only my first week on Diet Chef and I’ve already lost 5lbs. The food is truly delicious, easy to make and you even get online support to help you keep track of your weight loss and gain tips on a healthier lifestyle.”

FACTFILE:

The price of £5.57 per day price is based on the Diet Chef 1200 programme on Pay Monthly.

Taste test results: The Lasagne was very filling and the soups tasted home-made.

Sugar free does not have to be taste free if you use SPLENDA

Some people cannot tolerate sugar due to health issues, others cannot use sugar because they are watching their weight as part of a calorie controlled diet.

But what alternatives are there to sugar? There is saccharine. To be honest, with its horribly bitter taste, it's a wonder it every caught on as a sugar substitute! And there are a variety of other artificial sweeteners, some which cannot really be used in cooking as they do not tolerate heat, whilst there are others that are liquid so not as useful in all applications as they might be. And they can impart a different taste to a recipe that is not always welcome.

SPLENDA is different. It can be used as a direct replacement for sugar in many recipes (it's granulated) and it is actually made using sugar.

SPLENDA is recommended by the new Atkins-Advantage plan as 'a low-carb alternative to sugar'

Sucralose is not recognised by the body as a carbohydrate, thus making it suitable for people with diabetes. When it comes to carbohydrate, SPLENDA Granular has just 0.5g per teaspoon and SPLENDA® tablets are virtually free.

This means that people with diabetes can now look forward to a whole new world of cooking, baking and dining opportunities with SPLENDA. Meaning they do not have to feel left out at Christmas time.

SPLENDA Granulated and SPLENDA Sweet Minis are available across all good retailers.

Collier’s Powerful Welsh Cheddar first at Foursquare

Collier’s Powerful Welsh Cheddar is the first cheese brand to exploit the location-based social network Foursquare.
Wales’ award-winning cheese brand enjoys strong customer loyalty and was one of the first cheese brands to embrace social media channels like Twitter and Facebook to engage with its customers.

Foursquare allows users to share their location with friends by “checking in” to attractions, shops, restaurants and pubs via their mobile devices, and sharing “tips” or recommendations. They earn points for checking in and the highest number of “check ins” can lead to them being made the “Mayor” of the venue.

Collier’s Powerful Welsh Cheddar, which is made in North Wales, is urging its Foursquare friends to “check in” at top Welsh tourist venues to discover the Welsh heritage that inspired the award-winning cheese.

“We think it is important to have a two-way communication with our customers,” says Darren Gough, brand ambassador for Collier’s, "and word of mouth is still the most powerful marketing tool."

Foursquare is essentially like word of mouth with people 'talking' via mobile phone and social media.

Says Darren, “I love using Twitter to keep in touch with what’s going on and have my say. And now we have another way to reach the people who are interested in our cheese when they are on the move.”
