“Before I met Alva, I had tried other weight loss programmes but found they were not fully adaptable to my busy schedule. I could never stick to eating particular meals on particular days. I had what I thought was a healthy eating habits aside from picking at food while at work and was active most evenings but couldn’t lose any weight.

After my first meeting with Alva I came away feeling that I now had the tools to lose the weight I wanted to lose. Alva changed around the way I was eating food rather than the food itself and asked me to increase my steps from 10,000 a day to 12,000. This seemed like an impossible task to get 12,000 steps a day but over the 10 weeks there was maybe 4 or 5 days where I struggled to get the required steps. The picture food diary was a great incentive not to pick at food during the day as I wouldn’t always have my phone on me to take the pictures.

The best part of the 10 week plan was I was eating normal foods that I enjoyed while still being able to go out for meals and just be mindful of what I was ordering. I could not believe that the programme would be so easy & straight forward to follow. Alva was so easy to deal with and always on hand for any questions I had during the programme about food / portions / exercise.

Over the course of the 10 weeks I lost 9.2kg by making simple changes to the way I was eating and exercising. I would recommend this programme to anyone looking to lose weight in a way that fits their lifestyle.”
