Lifestyle Changes: Keep it Simple, Enjoy Success

We always recommend keeping lifestyle changes simple and focusing on targeted action towards specific, individual objectives.  

Here are some updates from recent programme participants who have followed this advice to great effect.

'The session gave me a complete kick start. I focused on lose weight - which meant by default to eat / drink more healthily and to do more exercise.  So, I am walking / swimming / cycling 3-5 times a week, have cut out unhealthy snacks and am eating less calorific meals.  I set myself two targets, to be able to cycle the 15 miles home from work by the end of August, and to lose 1 stone by mid August. I have already achieved the first and am on track for the second.  So far so good - thank you for the kick.' 

'I really though about the session and the techniques we discussed and it helped enormously.  I have lost 4lbs in two weeks and I am feeling loads better about the focus I now have and have also been sleeping better!  Hopefully if you check in with me again in a couple of months I will have shed more weight and will be continuing with my goal!'

'Already minus 9kg (6 weeks following the programme).'



'What I have done is overhaul my diet. I now avoid white rice completely (it used to be my staple food – lunch and dinner). I have also significantly reduced oily and fried foods. While travelling, it is difficult for me to have small multiple portions during the day but I have started that during my regular routine (light breakfast, mid-morning healthy snack, light lunch, mid-afternoon healthy snack, light dinner). I have also cut out white bread (by and large, since I give in once in a while – like maybe once a week). I have also started walking for about 30 minutes every day for the last 7 days.'

'I joined a fitness club and i started a three days a week swimming programme.'

'All good from my side, I've actually started to go to the gym before work (something I never thought I'd be able to do as I love my sleep too much!   However, its proven great and doesn't filter into any of my work or private time meaning I can get home on time most nights :)
