My name is Dee and I am a 60yr old consultant. I started with NOSH ROCKS in July 2018. I actually found that it was easier than I imagined to make quite significant changes to my life-long eating habits.At first I thought it would be completely impossible to have a bread, potato and pasta free diet but I felt so much better so quickly that it spurred me on.Eventually the change has just became my new way of eating and I have found pleasant alternatives for the products that I believed were irreplaceable. Just one example is cauliflower mash which is a delicious alternative to potato.It has surprised me how few cravings I have had for the things I have given up.After just a few months, I am feeling much healthier in myself, I feel leaner and less bloated which has made me more mobile. My weight loss has been modest by some standards but a marvellous accomplishment for me. And I feel very motivated to continue, step by step, slowly does it.
I decided to change when Rowana got me interested in the general approach which led me to read up on the science she gave me and was impressed enough to try the diet out for myself. The biological basis seemed to make sense.The reason I chose NOSH ROCKS was because I had been feeling pretty despondent about my long-term inability to lose weight and get fitter and was wondering about getting a personal coach for the first time ever. Almost immediately I met Rowana and I thought it was meant to be. – She seemed very knowledgeable about the nutritional aspects, completely persuaded by its benefits, and her enthusiasm was contagious.Rowana is a great support and coach. She has a lot of knowledge to give information and advice and is also very ‘present’ with her regular support and motivation. She monitors my progress discreetly from a distance online then makes contact at least weekly to praise, give me a gentle steer or offer encouragement. It’s a perfect light touch so it’s not intrusive and yet it is very effective.I definitely want to keep Rowana behind me.
