Personal Experience

Let me start by sharing my story with you, you can say it is a sort of confession:

personally, I have struggled with weight problems at the age of 15, food for me was a priority, and I couldn't resist the good, fatty and delicious recipes!

Food was a source of nourishment as it has to be, and a source of comfort, stress release at the same time; I was literally an emotional eater.

I tried many diets that always start at the beginning of the week, diets that i take from friends, from internet, but unfortunately one week later, I am back to the old habits!

I finally kept on gaining more and more weight due to the yo-yo diets that I followed until I ended up going to a professional dietitian who really followed me from zero and on a weekly basis, giving me the motivation and all the support I needed.

In less than a year, I lost almost 17 kg, i had a new lifestyle, the diet was varied, rich, I could eat anything I wanted but the portion is limited.. Working out has always been a must for me but with this new lifestyle, I got too devoted for sports, used to go to competitions and got 2 awards in running and 1 award in tai boxing!!

I was feeling healthy, light and always in a good mood, and the best thing of it was that I maintained the weight I lost for several years..

Now I am a dietitian, sitting behind the office as I was dreaming of, helping people to achieve their goals, change their eating habits, their lifestyles. I understand my patients and clients a lot and give them all the support they are looking for.

Weight loss is a mental and physical process. I am sure that there are several of you there that are feeling concerned. I am putting myself here to share this blog with anyone who think will benefit.

    Hmmm. I did not see this article before.

    Your experience of going through the struggle of weight-loss will make you a better dietitian since you can relate to what your clients are going through.

    My clients remind me of myself, when I used to go and see my dietitian:))
    It is so the same thing, They even ask me the same questions I used to ask her as well, exactly the same! :)

  • Mira says:

    Hi fadi, I donnow whether you have muscles or not, but according to these data, you need to be almost 90 kg.
    So try to follow a healthy lifestyle, let your choices be healthy, strat to exercise by walking 45 minutes daily, consume a lot of vegetables with your meals.
    I hope you are following my tips, because they can help you a lot.
    Good luck.

    10xxxxxxx Mira but I think it's very dificult 90 and I stop eat bread but what about the fruits

  • Mira says:

    I told you 90 depending on your weight and height, I donnow about your muscle mass or about your shape.
    According to the fruits, you can have 2 per day, but don't cut completely the bread or the carbs, eat whole grain bread, and a balanced diet for you not to gain all the weight that you lost:)
