Diana: The transition to a new year often brings moments of reflection. For me, the first half of 2023 was a period in which I found myself, both literally and figuratively, getting worse and worse in my skin. The realization that something had to change, that I was approaching "the point of no return," dawned on me in June.
For years I had tried everything to stay in shape, from pilates to intermittent fasting, with little success. Advice from friends led to a yo-yo effect. Then a friend tipped me off to the NewFysic program, which had successfully helped several people around her lose weight. With some trepidation, I walked into the office in Groningen.
At 25% overweight, she convinced me to start the very next day.Irene, the coach at NewFysic Groningen, took plenty of time to answer my questions and immediately offered her guidance. At 25% overweight, she convinced me to start the very next day. With lots of information, supplements and a personal nutrition plan, my journey began. The first few days were chaotic, but Irene's voice in my head simply advised me to follow the nutrition plan. Slowly I began to understand that every body is different and reacts differently. After four weeks, I began my vacation, and to my surprise, I lost weight every week at weigh-in time. The balance in my eating habits opened my eyes to the proportions of protein, fiber and carbohydrates. Now, six months later, I am 13 pounds lighter and feel top, energetic and happy. My outlook on food has changed thanks to NewFysic's simple and tasty recipes. Achieving my goal without going hungry has taught me that maintaining an eating rhythm is essential. In November 2023, I stopped taking the supplements, but the rhythm and healthy habits remained. Occasionally I still use some supplements like Multi Meno, Mood&Energy and NoRegret. Mijn kleding staat mooier, mijn gasten zijn verrast door mijn kookkunsten, en ik heb geleerd dat een keer snacken niet betekent dat je aankomt. Belangrijker nog, mijn fantastische coach Irene heeft me door deze reis geleid. Het accepteren van hulp was cruciaal, en ik vond een gouden stok achter de deur bij NewFysic in Groningen. Mijn advies aan iedereen: blijf in het eetritme, herpak jezelf na een uitglijder, en onthoud dat een beetje hulp soms precies is wat je nodig hebt.
