Weight Loss for Menopause ​

Weight Control at 50 Despite being active and fit, doing various challenges for charity requiring stamina and determination, I have been gradually getting larger as I approached the dreaded 50. Not large enough to be obese, or even to be considered very large, but certainly enough to feel uncomfortable and to lose my waist which had always been my saving grace. I promised myself that I would find a way during my 50 th year to eat properly and return to a comfortable size before I lost complete control. To say that the MB method of eating was perfect for me is a serious understatement and with Emma’s direction it took me just over 3 months (including the Christmas/New Year period) to lose considerably more than I thought I ever could (3.5 stone & 3 dress sizes to be precise). What’s even better is that it has all gone from the problem places – hips, waist and thighs – so that I am now the same size I was when I was 20! Even better, when losing weight at 50 you tend to get gaunt around your face but this has not happened at all!​ I have never been hungry, having managed to rid myself of my sugar cravings almost immediately I started the MB diet and yet now that I am in Maintenance, I find I can eat a little of anything I used to eat without craving more. Emma’s guidance on how to mix and match food allowances and her very timely and patient responses to endless questions from me have made the whole process very straightforward. The only problem is I need a new wardrobe!! Or can that really be called a ‘problem’?

My story to better health and bonus of weight loss....After Christmas and New Year blues plus the thought of that fabulous holiday I was going on at the beginning of April, and my son’s wedding this October. On dark and dismal day in January .... I remembered the words Metabolic Blocking had been mentioned to me five months prior, plus the question was ‘have you ever seen a Nutritionist?’ I had been seeing one of the top Endocrinology Professors in Harley Street, yes, he wanted me to try Thyroxin (I researched and resisted) despite my Thyroid level being borderline, and he also added it will be incredibly difficult for you to look weight! I strongly believed I was eating a healthy diet, working my butt off at the gym with Spinning Classes, power walking and yoga. Every day I was doing some form of exercise. I put the words Metabolic Blocking Nutritionist in a search engine – I found Emma. Read through the information, sent Emma e-mails asking questions but it still took me until the end of January to decided – Yes, I want to do this, but not just weight loss for the health benefits which the program has brought. I found the plan easy to follow as I moved through the phases – This is real food not faddy stuff, pills, and potions!!! The plan is easy to adapt when socialising. The result has been unbelievably fantastic – my first week I lost an amazing 9.5lbs! At the end of the first month, I had lost 18.5lbs, the weight continued to reduce each week. I hit my first personal target of 2 stone in just 9 weeks this was prior to a month-long holiday of which 12 days was a cruise. I came back with a gain as expected, this was just 5 lbs. I have now reached a loss of 40lbs with just 7lbs to go and loving the comments and words of praise. Emma was on hand to provide answers to my questions and support throughout this incredible health and weight loss journey. So very much wish I’d have found Emma years ago before I had wasted so much cash on other clubs and programs.
