Steiny’s Traditional Mettwurst is created using a fermentation process similar to beer, wine and bread, which destroys bacteria but also cures, creating a truly unique flavour. All Steiny’s products are very high in protein and very low in fat, some 90%; the family take particular pride in their procedures and adhere to the HACCP program, ensuring strict quality control.

Using only the best quality ingredients like lean beef, pork and quality spices, smoked with South Australian Riverland mallee timber, gives the product a unique flavour and enhances the curing. It is a wholesome product that is best enjoyed as a snack food, great for lunch boxes or with a glass of beer or wine and a great flavour enhancer to European food dishes like pasta sauce, pizzas and platters.

Steiny’s traditional mettwurst is available from IGA and Foodland supermarkets. For more information visit www.foodbarossa.com

Think Slim.

There are all sorts of ways to loose weight some people try every new diet. Some look for the quick fix or turn to medication and others go crazy about exercise but now the new way to slim down is to use the power of your own mind and think slim.
 
According to Mark Stephens, Hypnotherapist and creator of the revolutionary Think Slim Program, it’s all in the mind.

Think Slim is weight loss for the mind. Many people are physically overweight because their brain is overweight. When people are carrying around emotional baggage and suffer from negative thinking they are emotionally weighed down and this affects the body. Being overweight is really only a symptom of deeper issues. The reason Think Slim is so effective is that the program actually features on all the mental issues and psychological reasons people are overweight.
 
Think Slim has been on A Current Affair in 2005 and April of 2006, in Woman’s Day and appeared a number of times in Slimming Magazine.

Think Slim can be used in conjunction with any diet or weight loss program and is the key to making any diet work.
