Who won our Fab Low Fat Food Awards for 2009?

Yesterday we held our champagne Awards Ceremony at the Marriott County Hall Hotel in London to applaud the winners of our 2009 Rosemary Conley Fab Low Fat Food Awards. It was great to be able to meet the representatives of the various companies and to personally congratulate the winners of the 14 categories to whom we gave awards.

Voted for by readers of my magazine, Rosemary Conley Diet & Fitness, the winners of the various categories are as follows:

Best Cereal : Kellogg’s Special K
Best Meat Product : Mattesons Turkey Rashers
Best Ready Made Sandwich Range : Marks & Spencer Count on Us
Best Cheese : Philadelphia Extra Light
Best Dressing: Hellmann’s Extra Light Mayonnaise
Best Ready Meal : Marks & Spencer Ricotta & Spinach Cannelloni
Best Cooking Sauce : Dolmio Light Bolognese
Best Vegetarian food range: Quorn
Best Sweet Snack : Snack a Jacks Caramel
Best Savoury Snack : Ryvita Minis
Best Dessert : Mullerlight Yogurt
Best Low fat Supermarket Range: Marks & Spencer Count on Us
Best ‘I can’t believe it’s low fat’ : Hellmann’s Extra Light Mayonnaise
and lastly, ‘The low-fat food I can’t live without’ : Hellmann’s Extra Light Mayonnaise.

As Marks and Spencer also received a Special Commendation for their Vegetarian Food Range, they triumphed as the overall winner.

These awards are given to the companies because their products have been genuinely voted for by our readers. I have no doubt that the recipients were delighted to have received their accolades because they underline that the efforts they have put in to making their products what they are, have been rewarded by the general public. We all want recognition when we feel we have done a job well but there is nothing quite as satisfying as realising that the normal, regular, man or woman in the street has taken the trouble to vote for YOUR product. That YOUR product is making a difference to their health and their body. The manufacturers have every right to be proud of their achievements.

If we are to encourage the nation to eat more healthily and become slimmer and fitter we have to produce foods that they enjoy eating. Yesterday we acknowledged the very best of those foods and hopefully when folk go shopping they will select those foods that satisfy their taste buds without piling on the pounds.

Congratulations to all our award winners!

Our Chef, Dean Simpole-Clarke has even created some extra special recipes utilising the winning products.
