Weight Loss: A Mullingar Lady’s Experience (in her own words) Part 2
This is a continuation of our interview with Mullingar lady Mary McCormack on her weight loss journey in 2015 when she attended the Whelehans Weight Loss Clinic with Nutritonist Aisling Murray for extra support and advice.
How did the Whelehans Weight Loss Programme differ from other methods of weight loss you tried in the past?
This programme is the easiest I have ever followed. Not only did Aisling offer me meals to eat but I also could ask her how to make meals I prepared healthier. All the food recommended can be bought in your local supermarket and there are no specialised or over complicated meals to eat. Previously I was on a weight loss programme that was very expensive to participate in and it consisted of drinking a liquid to lose weight. I felt cheated and never stuck to these types of programmes as I was always consumed with my hunger and how much of this or that food you could have. I would always lose weight on other programmes but once I stopped following them (as they were too hard to continue for a long period of time) I would pile back on the weight. I can follow this programme on my own as Aisling has educated me on food and what a balanced diet is.
What advice would you offer for people starting the Whelehans Weight loss Programme?
Go and start it today! I lose weight every single week; Aisling is so easy to talk to, she is honest and the advice she offers is like none I have received before. In every consultation I learn something new about eating healthy. I would advise people who are worried about their weight to go see Aisling; she has changed my life for the better.
Did the Whelehans Weight Loss Programme restrict you from social events? (Weddings, parties etc.)
Not at all; I’ve been to weddings and christenings and never missed out on the delicious food and cake. Aisling has thought me about portion sizes and eating everything in moderation. I never missed out or worried about events like that as I would have in the past. I didn’t have to worry about counting calories or that the food couldn’t be eaten as I did when I was on a “liquid” weight loss fad diet etc.
Would you recommend the Whelehans Weight Loss Programme to others?
Yes, 100% it’s changed my outlook on food, I now enjoy eating. Watching the weight drop off every week is amazing. I no longer crave sweet or fatty foods and if I do, I know I can have a little and not feel the need to over eat. I have been getting compliments from people I know and I feel proud and happy. I am determined to keep going and I hope in a few more months I will have achieved my weight loss goal. My life has altered in a positive way.
