“I just wanted to say thank you very much for all your hard work at Natmags. Your enthusiasm and knowledge was an important part of the day’s success!
The notes you provided will be very useful when I begin speaking with the journalists at the end of this week.”
Briony McIntosh
ktb PR & Event Management"We felt that Azmina’s session on marketing our services was really useful and it was good to take 'a step back' from our day-to-day working lives to look at what we are doing and what we need to do. It was possible to approach things from a different angle and come up with fresh ideas. Not having a very tight agenda enabled new issues/thoughts to come up which would never otherwise have been thought of. The exploration of team dynamics and what makes people believe in themselves / their jobs was particularly helpful. It was good to have a few positive things that we could be doing written down by the end - with realistic dates by which we can take them forward."
Nutrition & Dietetics, Brent Primary Care Trust
"I spoke to the slimmer we featured in your regular Life Clinic article and she says your advice is working well. She seemed very happy, so thank you!"
Anette Lachowski, Food and Health Editor,

What experts say about our publications... (about The Gi Plan and Think Well to be Well)
"GI alone may not be enough, the Gi Plan links glycaemic index to energy intake, a link most likely to lead to weight loss."
Dr Tony Leeds, Senior Lecturer, King’s College,
University of London
"Azmina has energy and drive and writes with infectious enthusiasm. Despite never deviating from what's scientifically supportable she makes the concept of GI straightforward and accessible to all. A diet of the moment which will stand the test of time"
Angela Dowden R.Nutr., Registered Nutritionist and health writer for
Daily Mail, Zest, Daily Mirror & Daily Express
"Think Well to be Well’’ is an absolute delight to read! It is written in a simple lucid manner, yet is packed with useful information, which will be particularly helpful to newly diagnosed diabetics and their families. Even those who have had diabetes for years will find this Pocket Guide invaluable in the management of their diabetes and their lifestyle - maybe it should have been called 'The Diabetics Bible'.”
Dr Chris Steele MB ChB GP and resident doctor on
ITV's 'This Morning' programme
‘’The authors of "Think Well to be Well’’ are very experienced in their fields. I have personally worked with Azmina, and an upbeat, practical attitude is very much her style. Complementing her skills with the inspiring thinking of a life coach like Nina, makes for a hearty cocktail of fun and knowledge.’’
Dr Hilary Jones MBBS GP and resident doctor for
ITV’s breakfast programme, GMTV
"In this practical book (The Gi Plan), Azmina Govindji makes it very easy for anyone to kick-start a low GI diet for healthy weight loss with her quick and easy menus and recipes that you'll want to try time and again."
Professor Jennie Brand-Miller, Professor of Human Nutrition,

"It's great to have a good sensible and accurate book (The Gi Plan) on this approach written by a dietitian!!"
Amanda Wynne BSc RD, Registered Dietitian

“The GI diet is excellent - I'd recommend it as a safe and effective approach to weight loss for anyone who cares about their health but loves their food"
Sue Baic, RD, Lecturer in Nutrition,
University of Bristol
"For those with diabetes, losing weight and stabilising blood glucose levels may seem an unachievable goal. Evidence has shown that not only can Gi offer the opportunity to do exactly that, but with this comes the added benefit of potentially reducing the risk of long-term complications. In their inimitable way and with their excellent communication skills, Azmina and Nina have made that target appear more attainable.
"Our aim is to improve understanding and encourage good self-management skills. Az and Nina are able to communicate Gi in an easy to understand way, encouraging more people to adopt an 'I can do it' approach." (about The Gi Plan)
Sarah Bone, Executive Director,
Diabetes Research & Wellness Foundation
"An easy-to-read, practical guide. Recommended to anyone who wants a healthier, more painless way to lose weight and keep it off." (about The Gi Plan)
Richard R. Rubin, PhD, CDE, Associate Professor, Medicine and Pediatrics
The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
"Feedback from patients in my clinic on low GI eating been very encouraging. A shocking revelation to South Asians; a diet complementary to Asian food, with the benefit of permanent weight loss. A diet based on GI and overall balance can help reduce the incidence of heart disease and diabetes in South Asians. "
Leena Sankla, Counselling Psychologist,
Cardio Wellness
"There is established scientific evidence for the value of GI's in blood glucose control and satiety. The most exciting thing about this book (The Gi Plan) is that it takes this one step further by combining the GI value of food with its calorie density to give a weight management programme that is practical and embodies all the principles of healthy eating."
Smita Ganatra RD, Chief Dietitian, London
"Think Well to be Well’’ has a refreshing approach, empowering diabetes sufferers and their families to care for themselves. It is fun to read and yet informative, easy to understand, and very positive."
