About the Author

Well-known chef Jonno Proudfoot trained and worked in a five-times rated Top 10 restaurant and spent time at a variety of food and wine establishments before finding his passion in Paleo and LCHF (low carb/high fat) cookery. He is co-author of the wildly successful book The Real Meal Revolution. Since the birth of his interest in performance food and nutrition, he has co-hosted 52 episodes of the award-winning children’s cooking show What’s Your Flava on SABC3. Furthermore, he has appeared as guest chef to cook without carbs on the breakfast show Expresso (SABC3) on numerous occasions.

Sally-Ann spent most of her life sick with chronic asthma, sinusitis and panic disorder, undergoing many sinus operations and spending 13 long years suffering from panic disorder and agoraphobia. Thanks to an adjustment in her diet, she regained her health and qualified as a nutritional therapist (Post Graduate Diploma in Clinical Nutrition, Australia). Having found that food and supplements could dramatically change her life, providing the quality of life she’d always dreamed of, she decided to study so that she could help others experience the same results. Her story is relayed in her bestselling book Let Food Be Your Medicine – an easy to understand guide to healthy living.

The renowned South African adventurer David Grier is not someone to rest on his laurels. He has run the length of the Great Wall of China, run a smile round the coastline of South Africa, paddled from Mozambique to Madagascar and then run the length of that island. He went on to run the length of Great Britain, run across Cuba and, in this book, traversed India. He does all this for the charity Cipla Miles for Smiles, which performs life-changing surgery on kids with cleft palates. A former chef, Grier also co-authored The Real Meal Revolution, a bestselling, record-breaking book that endorses low-carb, high-fat eating – an approach he uses to fuel his endurance running.

David is a trustee and ambassador for the ‘ Cipla Miles for Smiles Foundation’, raising funds through adventure for Operation Smile, South Africa, who perform corrective surgery on children born with cleft lips and palates.
