Some time ago, I decided that I would become a vegetarian. I bought an expensive juicer, and religiously juiced carrots, apples, beetroot, etc EVERY day. I did Astanga yoga 3 times a week and other forms of exercise, and thought I was doing all the right things to lose weight and try to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I had had a few problems with pain in my lower back and after some time, had to stop yoga as it seemed to exacerbate the problem. I did all this because I was losing a battle with gaining weight and feeling miserable about my body which seemed to regularly break down with pulled muscles etc.
Then I met up with Stephen, and after a thorough Q and A session, decided to try Metabolic Typing along with personal training sessions. I was relieved when I was told which Metabolic Type I am and went from a veggie/juice diet back to eating protein and combining it with all the other suggested foods. The personal training sessions helped me a lot and especially enjoyed the PowerPlate! I found out what core muscles are, and that has helped enormously with my back problem!
I have now lost over 6 kilos and am able to maintain my new weight without struggling to do so. The other marvellous thing is that I have lost cellulite which I was smitten with - who would have thought?”
Since training with you I'm in the best shape of my life and I'm 64!.
There is nothing better than coming to one of Stephen's sessions and taking out all my frustrations from the day's work and he constantly finds killer exercises that I will grudgingly admit I find fun!
Works for me in so many ways namely because I'm a bit of a foodie and the thought of going on a diet horrified me. I was over-weight and really struggling with the whole gym thing. When Stephen suggested Metabolic Typing to me I thought I've got nothing to lose (except the weight, of course). It was simply a case of answering a lot of questions as honestly as you can. The outcome for me was spectacular as it turns out I'm a carnivore which was music to my ears. Trust me when I tell you that I now eat yummy food and have lost two and a half stones in 9 months. I no longer crave food and with regard to exercise my dog gets the benefit of that as I walk her every day for at least an hour. Happy dog, happy me! I recommend that you try it for yourself. Good luck!
I have only had one session with Karen, but the experience was such a positive one that it has already helped me to deal with some of my issues of negativity. I have since applied to a Postgraduate Course we discussed during my session, and feel much more certain and confident about my future. Thank you Karen.
