SIMPLY scrumptious L
inda Martinucci started Simply Swap Foods to help spread the word about the importance of changing to a real food low sugar diet to improve overall health and quality of life. With a background as a food writer and cookbook author, she has spent the last 15 years following nutrition studies and medical research based on the best way to fuel our bodies for optimal health.
One of the keys to successfully transitioning to this new lifestyle was being able to indulge in favourite cakes and desserts from time to time. She wanted to be able to enjoy family celebrations and not feel deprived during dessert time.
Our values are at the forefront of everything we do
Three years ago, Linda made the decision to completely overhaul her lifestyle by switching to a real food diet which was naturally low in sugar and full of healthy fats. She was amazed to see 15kg of stubborn excess weight drop off (over a period of six months) and her energy levels and mental clarity increased to an all-time high. Her husband David also adopted similar habits and lost 20kg easily in around eight months, plus had energy he never thought possible.
So, Linda went to work and spent countless hours in the kitchen perfecting the baking and porridge mixes that are for sale through her website. She knew that having low sugar treats to enjoy would be the key to sustaining this way of eating for life. She has also developed many low sugar recipes that taste just like their traditional versions and these recipes are available on her website and through ebooks.
All of the products are low carb, keto friendly, sugar free, use premium real food ingredients and plant-based sweeteners, have no artificial colours or flavours, no genetically modified ingredients, are pet friendly (no xylitol), super easy to prepare at home and taste great!
