Plant the seed to a better health.™
Having struggled with weight issues since early childhood, Nicola has finally found the perfect solution - is 2 stone down in just 10 weeks and confident she’s going to make it to her goal, at last!
(Nicola was one of those kids who hated sports avoiding them in favour of pursuing music and more creative activities). Puppy fat led to bigger weight issues and she embarked on a series of diets over the years - Slimming World, Slimfast, Atkins, Rosemary Connolly, calorie counting, meal replacement shakes - you name it - she tried it. They would work for a little while but the weight she lost and more always came crashing back on.

(Nicola was one of those kids who hated sports avoiding them in favour of pursuing music and more creative activities). Puppy fat led to bigger weight issues and she embarked on a series of diets over the years - Slimming World, Slimfast, Atkins, Rosemary Connolly, calorie counting, meal replacement shakes - you name it - she tried it. They would work for a little while but the weight she lost and more always came crashing back on.
In her 20’s, she managed to drop to a “normal” weight but could only maintain it by existing on black coffee and cigarettes. In her 30’s, she gave up smoking, which led to weight gain and the diet merry- go-round was back in full swing. Later, the birth of her two children and the pressures of being a new Mum meant her diet was put on a back burner and her weight steadily crept up and up.
Her weight was impacting family life!
She was missing out on so much with her kids - trips to the funfair where she held onto the jackets while everyone else enjoyed the rides, slides at water parks where the thought of looking awkward getting onto a flume was just too much - even just a kick-about with a ball at the park was too exhausting when carrying an excess 7 stone.
At 52, and the biggest she had ever been in her life, something had to change. Nothing she’d tried before just was sustainable - far too restrictive to stick to long term with such a big goal.
10 Weeks In and 2 Stone Down!
Her first goal was to simply make it through the first week. She was amazed how much better she felt - something just clicked inside and she knew she was onto something good. Next goal was to lose 10% of her body weight.
Her whole body was changing, she felt so much lighter - not
just physically but mentally too. She felt more energised and physically able and began really enjoying long daily walks with her pup - Ralph.
Non-fasting week days start with a Total Superfoods berry smoothie or the Nutriseed Berry Porridge followed by a healthy lunch and dinner. Weekends, however, are family time so bacon sandwiches, roast dinners and takeaways are still on the menu.
Nicola still has a way to go but this lifestyle is something she knows she can follow for life - it’s given her the conviction that her ultimate goal is no longer just a pipe-dream. She’s happy, Ralph the dog is definitely happy and her family has noticed the huge changes in Mum - fantastic results all round!
