Whelehans Pharmacys Aisling Murray: weight loss a Mullingar lady's experience
Healthy Eating with Aisling Murray from Whelehans Pharmacy
Weight Loss: A Mullingar Lady’s Experience (in her own words) Part 1
The Whelehans Weight Loss Clinic for the last year and we already have had successful weight loss stories for a number of my clients. The clinic is only €10 per week and not only do I offer advice on weight loss but I help to keep you motivated on your weight loss journey. It offers great value for money not only for those hoping to lose weight, but those who want to change their life in a positive way including being more energised, improving your mood, confidence etc; all this can be done in a natural way through small changes in your diet. I am a qualified nutritionist and my aim for the clinic is to provide safe and effective weight loss. I supervise and offer advice on healthy and effective weight loss. Each week your weight is documented and tracked and I review your food diary from the previous week. The food diaries are vital as they allow me to see what you are eating and I recommend alternative foods to add some variation.
Many of my clients have had great weight loss success and one such client, Mary Mc’Cormack from Mullingar, has lost over 5 stone since starting in the clinic in late February 2015. I asked Mary her thoughts on the clinic and what advice she can offer others:
Marys weight loss story (in her own words)
Whelehans Weight Loss Clinic has made me a happier and healthier person and for that I want to thank Aisling for all her help and support. When I started the clinic I was tipping the scales at over 23 ½ stone; I was unhealthy and miserable.
How did the Whelehans Weight Loss Programme benefit you most?
It educated me on healthy eating and what a balanced diet was. Before the clinic my mood was low; I was extremely unhappy and felt sluggish. I was binging on packets of biscuits and eating takeaways daily. Now I feel proud of myself for the hard work I have done; I still have a bit to go on my weight loss journey but I’m feeling a million times healthier. I look forward to seeing Aisling every week and find it easier to talk to her one to one than in a group. She is qualified in nutrition so I know the advice is the best I am getting.
What was the hardest part about following the Whelehans Weight Loss Programme?
The first week was the hardest as I had to cut out all sweet foods and junk foods. I was so used to eating them out of habit and not even enjoying the foods. Once I broke the habits I saw these foods as treats and something I looked forward to having every now and again. I never felt like I was losing out as Aisling gradually changed my diet over the first 2-4 weeks and it wasn’t a sudden shock to my system.
