Manoeska: "I had been overweight for a while, but I didn't have the courage to do anything about it. I really had to change my mind, because it doesn't work for me if I don't support it. After the good results I saw with my mother, I wanted to start too.
I ended up at NewFysic through my sister and mother. My sister had started NewFysic first and her results were pretty good! Then together we decided to give my mother a month of NewFysic as a gift. When she had lost quite a bit of weight within a few months and I saw what the menu was, I thought, "I think I can do this too." For Christmas last year, my children gave me a month of NewFysic as a gift. I did try previous other diets, but nothing worked for me. Everything I did felt to me like a diet and not a new way of eating.
I followed NewFysic in Bussum with my coach Djoke. In the end I lost 28 kilos in a time frame of 10 months. My experience was good and I learned a new way of eating. It was difficult at times, but because the recipes are so tasty and easy, it really came naturally. Of course there are weeks when things don't go so well, but that's just part of it. As long as you keep doing what you need to do, you'll be fine. For me it has really become a different way of eating, which makes it not difficult. I know when I take something extra I have to balance that out with another time and that goes fine!
The coaching has helped me a lot, because the fact that you can always come to me with questions you have and that you can stand on the scale every week is great. You know where you stand and it's really a big stick. I've definitely had ups and downs, but I think everyone has that. There are always weeks when things don't go well, but that's just part of it.
I find it hard to choose a favorite recipe, because there are quite a few! If I really have to choose, a few stand out. Easy, quick to make and very tasty is the whole wheat spaghetti with tartar balls, spinach and cherry tomatoes. What I also really like is the whole wheat flatbread with cauliflower gyros this recipe I make regularly. Also for friends, which is very well liked. Everyone is always surprised that it is a vegetarian recipe. What I like to make for my family are the kebab skewers with pita and a fresh salad. So fun and also very easy! I then prepare everything in a bowl and then everyone can fill their own pita bread.
I definitely recommend NewFysic! I am very enthusiastic about it and I also notice that I like to tell people about it. I have already made a number of people around me enthusiastic about it by cooking for them a number of times and explaining that healthy food can be really tasty! NewFysic has really taught me a new way to look at food and the right combinations. This makes food very tasty and you can apply it well and easily in your life."
