Beverly Colley

Beverly is in her forties and lives near Slough and works as a facilities administrator.

Why did you work with Ben, what were your goals and what had you tried before?

I had put on a lot of weight even though i had been exercising by myself and with a Personal Trainer. I thought I was eating healthy until I read about the principles of metabolic typing which made me wonder if the foods I was eating were not actually as healthy for me as I thought.

In the past I had tried both Weight watchers and Slimming World as well as a Healthy Eating Plan. I even tried cutting out alcohol for seven weeks but that didn't help me lose weight.

How did you find the experience?

If I’m honest I found it all a bit daunting at first but I soon adjusted. I tried my best within the plan and though I was not perfect at every meal it still got me the results I wanted. As well as concentrating on my eating I upped my exercise routine too.

What results did you get?

This has worked!!! The results speak for themselves! I am a kilos away from having lost a total of 2 and a half stone!!!

People that haven’t seen me for ages comment on how different I look and everyone can now see the weight loss.

I have my confidence back now, my goal of again wearing a pair of jeans is now so close I feel I can touch it. I’ll be carrying on and I’m proud of my achievement.

I hated my picture being taken while I was fat so didn’t take any. I look more like the old me in pictures now just like when I was very small.
