The interview:


Maria’s achievements on The New You Plan | VLCD:

Blog 1Maria has lost 3 stone since she started The New You Plan. Maria mentions that she lost an impressive 9 lbs of this in her first week on the diet! She goes on to mention that as a result her first and second weeks results combined meant that she lost 1 stone of her 3 stone goal. Overall the 3 stone weight loss has seen her drop from a dress size 16/18 right down to a size 12.

 

 

Why did she choose The New You Plan:

Blog2Maria picked us because of the resounding success one of her friends also had on our plan. Maria having tried many other diets without success previously was drawn to The New You Plan based on its simplicity and the very structured regime that she felt would help to keep her on track. She does mention periodically throughout the interview that these factors meant that this diet was far easier than she had ever expected.

 

 

Maria’s reasons for starting the diet:

Blog3Maria states that she once thought that she did not like shopping for clothes just because it was not something that appealed to her. However when she started to loose the weight she found that it was more because it was sometimes hard to find the fashions that she wanted. It was also a case of the clothes she tried on did not feel comfortable in regards to their fit.

The next reason was that she was finding that there was a vicious cycle in her life that she had to stop. The cycle was not going out due to not feeling comfortable about herself – this in turn lead to her staying in and often eating and snacking. A cycle which anyone who is uncomfortable about their weight will relate to.

Maria also mentions that she had never been on a sun holiday as she would not have felt comfortable in the clothing expected of the occasion.

Has this changed for Maria:

The best thing about a VLCD is the quick results and from an early stage we saw the confidence in Maria grow. In the interview she talks about how much she loves shopping now, she loves the fact that she can walk into most shops and literally pick anything she wants.

Maria also mentions that she now looks forward to the work nights out. The fact that this is raised in the interview hits home just how much of a persons life is affected by self perception. Maria did not just lose 3 stone she gained a life that had existed in parallel with her the whole time, she merely changed lanes to get into it.

Maria’s top tips to staying focused on a VLCD:

1) Know what you want and why you want it!
2) Take pictures to help you keep a visual track of your progress
3) Exercise
4) Use the Secret Slimmers group for support
5) Focus on your achievements and make the promises to yourself that you intend to keep about not going back!

Thanks for reading/Listening and a massive thank you to Maria for a bubbly, fun, interview.

Kind regards

Grant
