New Year, New You!
In the same way
smelly people don’t like being given deodorant, people who feel
they’re overweight probably don’t like being given diet
vouchers. This is why we suggest you hand over these gift vouchers at
Christmas, well before the turkey and mince pies take their toll. That
way, come the inevitable New Year resolutions, you’ll be able
to helpfully remind them of the Pure Package vouchers you so thoughtfully
gave. It might also be worth emphasising the convenience factor, rather
than the weight loss aspect…
Also, for every voucher you give, you will receive a complimentary day’s food from us.* So if you give 10 vouchers, you’ll receive 10 days free food. Then, if for some bizarre reason you feel the need to lose a few pounds soon after New Year, you’ll be able to too!
Gift vouchers are available all year round, in periods of 10 to 90 days, and can be sent directly to you or the recipient. They are valid against any of our programmes, from weight loss to energy gain.
*This offer is open to past clients of the Pure Package and includes our regular delivery within the M25.

Between Christmas and New Year, we are going to be busy
hibernating and eating lots of yummy food. We like to call this research
and in truth it is, this holiday period we will be creating, testing
and tasting over 70 new scrumptious healthy dishes to add to your
menus in 2008.
In order to concentrate on this we are suspending deliveries during
this period. If you have any recipe suggestions then please send them
our way so that we can try them out. We are confident you will survive
this short period without us and as a helping hand have some tips
for you.
Lemon Aid
This time of year lemons and honey are not only good
for your immune system, but can also help nurture your skin, ready
for those Christmas parties. Citrus has astringent, antiseptic
and detoxifying effects on the skin. Lemon in particular reduces
hyper-pigmentation and also exfoliates.
Blend together the following ingredients: 1tsp lemon juice, 2tsps
honey, 6oz of plain natural yoghurt, 1 drop ylang-ylang essential
oil and ¼ cup oatmeal or crushed almonds. Apply to the
face and allow to dry. Rinse off with warm water. Towel
dry and moisturise to seal in all that goodness.
Why not try replacing the lemons with satsumas for a really seasonal touch….
Holiday Tips:
Divide your
plate - remember that half your plate should be vegetables. Try putting
the abundance of all those lightly steamed winter vegetables on to your
plate before adding the turkey, roast potatoes and all the trimmings.- Feast on festive fruits & nuts – top up your antioxidant levels with satsumas, cranberries and pomegranates, helping us to fight off those winter colds and flu.
- Smell those chestnuts roasting on an open fire? - nuts contain essential fats which can help to soothe the digestive tract. Enjoy a handful together with a piece of fruit to balance your blood sugar and keep up your energy levels for that marathon game of Trivial Pursuit!
- A brisk walk - if it is your holiday tradition to go schussing down the slopes or for a long walk after lunch then opt instead to get everyone out of the door before the feast to get your metabolism going and build up an appetite. After eating it is better to sit and let your meal digest.
- Remember you can still treat yourself – don’t deny yourself the odd mince pie or slice of Christmas cake. Enjoy your treats slowly. Savour the flavour with a warming cup of tea and you shouldn’t get that urge to overindulge. Eating slowly gives our brain time to recognise what we have eaten, and often a couple of mouthfuls are all that is needed to satisfy.
