Practical diet solutions for weight loss

I’m a businessman of age 43 -I need to travel extensively for work, at times even 4 days a week. I want to specifically give this testimonial because I have successfully managed my health in spite of frequent work-related travel. I have a medical history of hypothyroidism, and high blood sugar levels, and weighed an unhealthy 102 kilos before I started Ms. Pinge’s consultation. Within just 3 months of following her advice & practical diet solutions, I have lost 12 Kilos; feel very fit, energetic, and positive about reaching my goal for an ideal body weight.

My inherent lifestyle of eating out, a vegetarian diet, lack of essential proteins, irregular sleep habits, and almost no physical exercise in my daily routine along with my sweet tooth did not make the weight-loss goal easier.

Personalized Diet & Lifestyle Plan

Her counseling includes a personalized diet plan with healthy food choices (keeping in mind the dietary requirements in my case due to extensive traveling). She motivated me to do simple exercises that can be followed even while on the move. I was prescribed appropriate supplements to overcome protein deficiencies. I was able to regulate my erratic thyroid levels – from 0.029 to 0.29; improve my Vitamin B12 – from 132 pg/ml to 204 pg/ml; improve Vitamin D levels – from 26 ng/ml to 65 ng/ml; reduce the HbA1c from 7.3% to 6.7%; reduced the homocysteine levels – from 28 umol/L to 16 umol/L (almost normal) along with a sizeable reduction in my waist circumference.

Her forte is in providing simple practical customized solutions without having to compromise on my lifestyle needs. She has been a patient listener in every consultation session monitoring my progress on a weekly basis. She responded promptly to any doubts and queries, suggested readily available options. This made it possible to reach the final target of my ideal weight. It also helped to bring my medical parameters within the reference range. This was achievable due to her personalized attention and support.

She gave me diabetic diet guidelines (practical diet solutions) and encouraged me to adopt a healthy lifestyle change. She understood and explained to me the right nutrition for my health needs rather than focusing on just numbers in weight loss. This makes it a long-term sustainable solution focused on improving health rather than focusing on only short-term weight loss.
