Leticia: Because it offers all foods I really enjoy eating.
Everything improved, blood pressure, sugar, energy levels. I saw it already after the first 5 kilos were gone.
Maya: I was traveling in Portugal actually and had just lost about 7 pounds and wanted to keep it off. So I ate like the locals and I lost more weight! It is healthy and very filling.
My weakness is white wine! I am small and any straying from the diet results in weight gain. It’s all about developing good daily habits, eating healthy and small portions, exercising regularly and never taking a day off!
Caroline: It's one of the many ways of eating I've explored. I'm certainly not an expert. I believe it has a lot of good things about it. Mainly, lots of fruit and vegetables and cooking from scratch. With hardly any processed foods.
As I say it’s all a learning curve but as long as I've decided to do this, I intend to make it as fun as possible.
Years ago when I lived in Italy, I was surprised at how little sugar they ate and how much walking I did while there.
