With Halloween just around the corner the supermarket shelves are dominated by our fat orange friends who’s popularity soars this month -yes you guessed it…… it’s the trusty old pumpkin.

But beware as these brightly coloured vegetables are loaded with a high GI count, quickly boosting blood sugar levels that will not be maintained.

So save the pumpkin for your jack o’ lantern and munch on pumkin seeds mixed with other dried nuts and fruit instead.
