TESTIMONIALS: SUCCESSFUL WEIGHT LOSS CLIENTS At the age of 21, I decided to change my lifestyle and go to a dietitian. This was a necessary step I had to take in my life, I met Sophie and in a period of six months my life changed drastically. In this period, I lost 25kg and it felt like I wasn’t even on a diet, it is just a way of life. Not only did I change physically, but mentally, I am a new person. The first time I had my appointment with Sophie, I was nervous and I had no idea what to expect. I had no clue about food and what was the right or wrong thing to eat, portions and learning new vegetables was something new for me. Each time I had an appointment with Sophie she gave me the confidence that I needed to continue. Thanks to her it has been easy to lose 25kg. I enjoy life and I have new opportunities, that before weren’t there. All of this couldn’t have been possible without Sophie, I am extremely grateful for her advice and motivation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I met Sophie as I needed a dietitian to help me lose weight and to regain confidence and control over my eating habits; I also was conscious of the health consequences associated with being overweight, and wanted to address this head-on. During our first session, we discussed my dietary habits and established an action plan which included a portion-control strategy: and it worked! The weight steadily came off as I began to have a better understanding of the principles of healthy eating. This also had a positive impact psychologically, as I began to feel happier in myself and my body. I was seeing Sophie every two weeks to maintain the motivation, and to receive guidance and direction. Thanks to Sophie´s advice and my commitment (and willpower!) I lost 13 kg in 3 months. I highly recommend Sophie, who is always supportive, providing helpful, sensible advice. Sophie is non-judgmental and accompanies you on this journey. Kathleen -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I first met Sophie after being asked to see a dietician by my GP following blood tests showing raised blood sugar and cholesterol levels.I was very reluctant to commence statins .The appointment with Sophie was great together we looked at a weeks food diary I had made and she advised me as to what changes to make to my eating habits to improve my blood readings.I followed Sophies advice whilst by adapting the food plan into my daily life. Within 2 months my blood results have vastly improved bringing the sugar and cholesterol within normal limits .An added benefit was that i have also been losing weight. I can't thank Sophie enough for her help and sound advice .I have had a follow up appointment ,and again Sophie was able to advise me on further adaptions to my diet. I would strongly recommend Sophie to anyone who wants sound advice whether to loose weight or to reverse blood sugar /cholesterol levels . Barbara
