A little bit about me as a background
During last 15 years or so, I have tried SO many diets that I will not be able to list all of them... some of them were more successful than others. However, I've always put the weight back on, and a bit more... most of us know the unfortunate "yo-yo" effect of the diets. ;-( diets have never prepared me for the "after-diet" ( i.e. life) stage and on occasions played havoc with my metabolic rate.
Two years ago, I tried a different approach - I started intensive exercise ( Running and Gym) and finished my first ever Half Marathon. Even though I still can't believe I actually finished it in a good time...all the "carb loading" as preparation for the run didn't do the magic to my body. Especially when I didn't stop it after the training... as my carb craving were really bad.
So, as a result I was a bit lost: busy at work, stressed, going out ..it all meant unhealthy dinners and drinks, no motivation or new ideas about what to do next.... when a friend mentioned Go Lower and that she has lost 4st with their help.
Go Lower
At first, I was not convinced, as I did like the idea of "pre-packed" food. In my mind it meant "unhealthy" and" full of preservatives". But my friend convinced my over wise and I decided to give it a go, and I never regretted my decision.
During ordering process I was asked a lot questions , so the diet could be modified to my needs. So, I was surprised to have a SHOCK of my life when it arrived! It was not a lot!!!.. it took me two weeks of Detox stage to realise that WAS CORRECT amount of food I needed if I want to lose weight. What really helped that food is really tasty and the Support team is very friendly and helpful. and... I guess high protein and fat kept me from being extremely hungry.
it took me about a week to kick start ketosis.
I am now at the last stage of the "go Lower" subscription and it totally changed my approach to eating : I eat smaller and more frequent high protein meals with fresh veg. I've learned that healthy dinner doesn't need to take long to cook and that even during busy day at work I can have a healthy lunch ( if I plan in advance ( it also saves a bit of money too)).
Results
I had about 2St to lose. I've lost 1St in two months ( I admit not the fastest weight lose, but I can maintain it this time!). I have another stone to lose , but I know I can do it as Go Lower has changed my approach to food. and I have lost most of my cravings. For example: I can't stand taste of fizzy drinks now -they taste just too sweet now... i am not going to lie! I still like chocolate and puddings, but i can limit it. if I overdo it during a business trip or night out, I don't beat myself up for it, I just go back to the "detox" stage. ( i think it's ok, as far as i don't do it too often...)
Future:
Wish me luck! I still have a stone to lose, but this time I know I can do it and maintain it!
