Diet & Health Today
We can only make it free through the generous
work of the contributors, all of whom are listed at
the end of the magazine. We’re very grateful for
their contribution and we do invite you to find out
more about their work by visiting their websites
and reading their books.
All of our contributors have a few things in
common - they are certainly not followers of
conventional wisdom when it comes to diet, health
and exercise and they strongly support the view
that we should just eat real food in preference to
mass produced, highly processed, fake food.
You’re not likely to hear much conventional
wisdom in this publication - you can get plenty of
that in the general and specialist newspapers and
magazines. What you will get is plenty of
evidence based nutrition, fantastic recipes and
challenging articles on a range of health and food
topics.
We’re back!
We published the first edition of Diet & Health
Today back in May 2010 when it was an online
magazine for members of The Harcombe Diet
Club. It became a monthly publication in January
2012 - until we paused its publishing in March
2013.
In nearly 60 publications, we tackled ‘The Big
Issues’ - the big questions that were being asked
in the world of diet and health, covering such
fascinating topics as ‘Where do all the calories
go?’, ‘Dieting mind games and how we win at
them’, ‘Cholesterol and heart disease - there is a
relationship, but it’s not what you think’ and ‘Is
your medication making you fat?’
It was always our intention to restart publishing
the magazine but we wanted a way to grow and
develop it. And this is the result - a full colour,
digital magazine that’s absolutely free for readers.
It’s free of any cost and free from advertising and
this is the way that we intend to keep it.
Diet & Health Today
Diet & Health Today was never for the faint
hearted and we intend to continue that tradition
forward with this current version. We state in the
contents page that ‘The content of this magazine
is intended to inform, entertain and provoke your
thinking. It is not intended as medical advice. It
may, however, make you question current medical
and nutritional advice. That’s your choice. It’s your
life and health in your hands’. With more and
more people becoming dissatisfied with the health
advice and the prescription drugs dished out by
the medical profession, we hope that the articles
in Diet & Health Today will encourage you to seek
further evidence and give you the confidence to
challenge your medical practitioner.
If you’d like to contribute to this magazine with an
article, recipe or a real-life health story, please
send in your submissions to
[email protected].
We hope you enjoy this first edition and do feel
free to share it with whomever you wish.
Very best wishes
