 My name is Christo and my weight problems started 16 years ago when I was injured in the army and subsequently couldn't do as much exercise as I was used to doing. I found that being so overweight was not only a huge health hazard with an increased risk of heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure, but it also seriously affected my self esteem and job performance. By 1992 I weighed 134Kg's and made the decision to lose weight with Weigh-Less. While Weigh-Less worked for a while and I did lose some weight, I found the food became bland and boring and it wasn't long before I started putting the weight I had lost back on.
By 1998 my weight had spiraled so out of control that I weighed 180kg. I was let go from my job and lost everything, my income, house and even my car. Unfortunately this didn't stop me from gaining even more weight. By 2005 I tipped the scales at 253kg. I was barely able to move and became a huge burden and worry for my family, so finally I decided that enough was enough and I had to do something serious to lose weight.
I had heard about The Diet Everyone Talks About through friends, and at the end of 2006 decided to visit Rothdene Pharmacy who offers the programme .
Since starting The Diet Everyone Talks About I have lost 125Kg's and feel more energetic than I have felt for years. The Diet Everyone Talks About is essentially a controlled carbohydrate intake diet, and focuses on a lifestyle change which means you learn to eat correctly and therefore don't put back on the weight lost. The motivation I keep getting from Brenda, my clinician at Rothdene Pharmacy, is a huge help and after all this time I still find the meals tasty and have a huge amount of variety. |
