"It wasn't so much a diet as understanding what I was eating and the benefits I could have from the right type of food and to be honest it was a huge amount of fun for me.
One of the main health problems I was extreme exhaustion a week before my period which may not sound like much but I have 3 children and taking a rest for a week is really not an option. It wasn't a case of being a little bit tired - I'm talking a complete inability to physically stand up and do basic things.
Julia suggested along with the general healthier eating plan to try linseeds daily ( they don't look great but actually taste quite nice - I am a bit of a wimp with taste) and they worked so well for me.
I couldn't believe such a little thing could have such a huge positive impact for me."
"Since meeting my Partner 5 and a half years ago, I have increased my weight by 3.5 Stone and gained 3 dress sizes! I was fully aware as to what types of food are healthy, but never quite planned a daily menu to ensure I was consuming all the right amount of nutrients for the day. Since meeting Julia, she has helped me understand the importance of planning ahead, such as writing the shopping list, buying the ingredients and following a weekly recipe plan.
My eating lifestyle was consisted of skipping breakfast, buying lunch at work and large portion sizes for dinners late at night. Now it is so much easier to make a sandwich the night before, or throw some prepared salad into a lunch box with a few slices of ham and coleslaw in the morning, grab a yoghurt and some fruit on the way out the door, and have probably saved myself about £30 per month.
Since receiving Julia’s help almost 9 months ago, I have almost lost 1.5 stone, not through some famous named diet - paying to go to a weekly meeting and paying for someone to weigh you but ensuring I am eating the right foods daily. I am now growing my nails, looking after my skin and hair, drinking more water, I have even dug out my mountain bike and am learning how to maintain it.
I have so much more energy and feel so happy with my life, all my friends and family have noticed a major change in me as a person, more bubbly and happy.
I still have a long way to go but I would have to say that if you are looking to make this major change as I have then make the first move and push yourself as only good can come of it."
"Julia provided me with some very useful information when I contacted her for my assessment.
I kept a food diary for 7 days and in consultation with Julia we came up with a plan that would be easy for me to follow.
As a single working parent on a tight budget – both for time and money – I was advised on ways I could incorporate exercise into my weekly routine e.g. walking or cycling and make small changes to my diet (I used to drink lots of smoothies but Julia said that by changing some of the fruit for vegetables would cut down on the fruit sugars).
I now have a plan that provides me with guidance to keep me focused on keeping a healthy life style."
