HOW OFTEN HAVE you heard that a wedding changed someone’s life? Well this is another one of those stories –but with a difference- I went to a wedding in Whistler BC last July and it has changed my life for the better and for ever- no not my wedding and no not a bridesmaid/ best man story.
At the wedding I met Dean Yurke and his family. His daughter and my 2 daughters were flower girls for our mutual friends wedding.
Instantly our children hit it off and were like old friends and almost as quickly us adults bonded – I was intrigued by how healthy and happy the family was and got talking about diet and lifestyle. Several years of putting myself as a single mother last, a stressful and very responsible job as chief medical officer of a hospital and yes the pounds had crept on with the excuse of “I will deal with that later”. End result I was tired, overweight by probably 40-50lbs, middle aged, worn out, lacked motivation or enthusiasm for anything hence did little!
Less than a year later I have lost nearly 40lbs, have increased energy, need less sleep, am excited about my future, I have travelled from the Caribbean to the Middle East to talk about Happiness, lectured on weight loss and healthy living and completed a masters degree in international management. Along the way I have met the most amazing people, learnt to trust and believe in myself and know that life is worth living to the full.
ALL this came from a simple conversation with Dean- when I logged onto the Gluttons diet Facebook page and saw the before pictures that was me won – I recognized the after as the man and family I had met but the before were aliens.
SO I embarked on my version of the gluttons diet- simply dropping the “white carbs”, reassigning the feeling of hunger to a feeling of needing to go for a swim, and 4 days into it I was comfortable, no cravings- admittedly I still eat chocolate every evening and have an almond croissant for breakfast on a Saturday but the weight fell off, the compliments started piling in and now I even have staff at the hospital hiding out to try to see what I am eating!
I have never found anything so easy to follow- I crave raw spinach and get quite grumpy if I don’t eat it every day!
I do believe that different things suit different people and as a doctor urge everyone to check with their doctor first but this one is for me and I will never look back Click Here Now
