From Couch To Weight Loss Specialist
A few years ago, I was the very definition of a 'couch potato'. I'd lay on the sofa for hours, watching TV and eating pre-packaged frozen meals. I wouldn't have been able to tell you the last time I had planned any exercise, or cooked a healthy, nutritional meal. But somehow, I did peel myself up from that sofa. I tried (and fell into a spiral) of several diets. Obsessing over counting every single calorie. Weighing myself four times a day. And restricting my food more and more. But it was only when I said enough was enough, and I needed to finally learn how to safely, and efficiently lose fat without jeopardising my health or my sanity. Listen to the episode to hear the full story about my journey from couch to fully qualified Weight Loss Specialist, helping women overcome overeating, and instead, building a sustainable, healthy lifestyle once and for all.
