One-on-One Weight-Loss Service Ireland

I lost 21lbs with Joan. The best change I have made is planning my meals because my work is so busy. I am a project manager and I have the skills but just did not prioritise myself over work. I feel happier and definitely healthier now and I am eating proper food, not rubbish. I was never hungry once the sugar cravings eased off.

I needed a healthier diet. I was getting more colds than usual and had a bad flu this year. I love sugary food and there is loads at work, close to my desk! What I’ve learnt is to eat 3 meals a day and I bring in my snacks to work and they help me ignore the office treats. I’m eating new foods and I am cooking more. I went down a notch in my belt.

I did an 8 week Health Programme via work and met Joan. I lost weight which was great and I learned alot from her, especially about the amount of carbohydrate I was eating. I’m trying to include some foods every week now to get the good fats and the APP really opened my eyes about food.

I wanted to get fitter, stronger and somehow, after years of failed attempts, curb my sugar addiction. My GP recommended Joan and she was exactly what I needed to get started. Joan has an exceptional knowledge of nutrition. She explains all of that really well and in an easy to understand way. But she also is a wonderful motivator. My attitude to food and exercise has changed totally since meeting Joan. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

My life is busy and happy, I have 4 children and work but my weight was a source of unhappiness and I was unfit. I tried many diet programmes. I started working with Joan in May 2013 and lost a satisfactory amount of weight in that year. Dieting can be isolating but Joan’s clients do group walks and park activities together and I found the support from the group helpful and I became much fitter. I regained a little of the weight around the children’s exam time but I kept in contact with Joan and worked it back off. I still have some weight to lose but am so much happier in myself and feel more in control.

‘Thank you again for all your help. I learnt so much about myself and my body. I also found this taught me so much that I can take with me into clinical practice this year. It has been an invaluable experience.’
