Merline: "I am Merline, 30 years old and I have lost a total of 62 kg. Then I had a daughter so the counter now stands at 55 kg. My life now looks much more active if you compare it, to how it was.
"I did always know I was heavy, but I'm an easy talker myself so I actually always talked myself through it. I had resigned myself to looking the way I looked. Before I started NewFysic I tried many different diets. When I started NewFysic I weighed 144.5 kg, after the first week the scale was already at 139.5 kg."
The strength was mainly in the weeks that followed. I thought if I lose 5 kg in the first week, let's see what week 2, 3 and 4 do. At some point you roll in and in no time you are 2 years down the road and you weigh 62 kg less. The big thing for me was that I was achieving success and wanted to keep achieving it. This allowed me to tempt myself to not take or not do certain things so that I continued to achieve that success.
"I think the great thing about NewFysic is that you get a personalized plan which in the beginning is mostly based on food and later you notice that they start asking a little more, what about exercise and if you can challenge yourself to move more."
Phireau (sister Merline): "We see each other two a week and we walk the dog together four times a day. She has been struggling with weight her whole life you get that in the family too. NewFysic is a really good program, because you get a lot of guidance, which I always liked. It was a real stick and especially because you have to go there every week, that motivates you to keep going.
Plus you get loads of recipes, if you're not creative in the kitchen that's really nice! If you eat right the NewFysic way you just notice that your energy levels stagnate and you just feel mentally fitter. You have much more resilience, so you don't get knocked out as easily.
"I really do believe that anyone can do this, but you have to want it and that has been the biggest resilience with Merline. I would say: go for it, take the step, go to Newfysic, do the intake, involve your environment and just let yourself do it!"
