Successful Weight loss

I started my weight loss journey at a point where I was feeling hopeless. Through Christine I finally feel like I’ve taken control of my life again. She has been supportive, kind and most of all a great teacher. With the help of Christine I was not only able to lose 20kgs in 6 months but also change my relationship with food.

Successful Weight loss

I started my journey with Christine in September 2019. The effective healthy eating plan increased my energy levels and I started exercising again. I have lost 37kg’s and never felt better. The meal plans are empowering and easy to use. Working with Christine has 100% worked for me.

Successful Weight loss

I signed up with Christine not to lose weight in order to stabilise my blood sugar levels. She put me on a new eating path which resulted in better health as well as weight loss. The best part: I got my brain back. For years I’d been operating in a brain fog, it had crept in incrementally. Now, I can think straight and, best of all, as a writer, I’m writing with a coherency I haven’t had for a long time. I feel like I got myself back.

Successful Weight loss

Earlier in my twenties and thirties, I never gave much thought to nutrition or weight. But after an emotional experience nine years ago, I started yo-yo dieting, losing weight fast with fad diets and gaining it all back and then some more. It has taken me six months of working with Christine to break free from the cycle finally. I never realised how badly I damaged my body, hormones, gut and metabolic rate until it was too late. Christine is encouraging, and she helped me to understand what I need to do to break through the plateau.

Christine, for your advice and guidance for the last year. I am close to 20kgs lighter since I first saw you in May 2022. Soon I will need a new belt, along with my new wardrobe. It’s great to discover how food and lifestyle changes can help with major anxiety. Thank you.

Sizwe
Successful Weight loss

What a journey… Thank you Christine

Sizwe was at the time weighing 109kg and because of his autism it was not easy to address this challenge. Christine put Sizwe on a customised diet plan which was quite different from Sizwe’s diet. I was very pleasantly surprised by the diet which turned out very tasty, including lots of vegetables, fruit, nuts and other snacks, not forgetting lots of water.

Nine/ten months later Sizwe has lost 22kgs and I have to look twice to recognise this good looking fellow in my house. His health has improved greatly in various ways.

What a pleasant easy journey.
