Metro Journalist Loses 11 pounds And Is "Full of the joys of spring"... 

Thursday 9th October - Metro health journalist Vicki-Marie Cossar tells 800,000 readers about her experience at National Nutrition Clinic:

'Fed up with a constant lack of energy and a 'jelly belly', I had a biochemical assessment to see if there were any underlying factors affecting my ability to lose weight. The food screening found an intolerance to red pepper, which was interesting, and cutting it from my diet shrunk my bloated belly.

Cheryl asked me to focus on the GI (glycaemic index) of foods rather than their calories, so I incorporated protein into every meal to slow the release of glucose. The rules were easy to follow and I lost 5 pounds in the first two weeks. After two months I lost 11 pounds and, even though its grim outside, I've been full of the joys of spring". Vicki-Marie Cossar, Health Journalist, Metro newspaper

    

About The Lifestyle Diet Programme

"I have now been following the Programme for around 4 months and have lost 18lbs and 10cm off my waist measurement. I have never felt hungry whilst I’ve been on the diet and I have really enjoyed the different foods that I have been encouraged to try. A few weeks ago my weight loss slowed right down and through running some tests Cheryl identified a problem with my thyroid. She recommended some supplements to help support my thyroid function and I am delighted that these appear to have kick-started my weight loss again and I am now looking forward to losing the last few pounds that I want to shed. Had I been dieting with an ordinary slimming club this problem would not have been identified and I would no doubt have felt like giving up. "   Sue Brand, SW London

I gave-up smoking a couple of years ago and as a result, I put on more than 20 Kilos. I wanted to lose these 20kilos in four months so I really had to find a solution. I used to walk past the National Nutrition Clinic in Richmond every day and finally decided to pop in to get some information. The program they are offering was attractive, so I decided to give it a try.

To my surprise, I learned that I did not have to feel starvation to lose weight. After four months, I have actually managed to get where I wanted to be. Today I weigh 78 kilos, and my height is 181cm, so job done! The suits I bought last year are now too big for me... Stephane Boroncelli, Surrey

"Coming across the National Nutrion Clinic web site was one of the best things that happened to me this year. I met very professional and flexible people who helped me to change the relation I have  with food and to achieve my goals. I also think it is very good value for the money. I would definitely suggest it !"A.V. SW London

Losing Weight Has Finally Become A Reality For Me

Since coming to the Nutrition Clinic in Richmond I have made some very positive and fundamental changes to my eating patterns and have finally started to lose weight.
 
I have been educated on how to eat properly and how to follow a low GI diet plan with success, which leaves my energy levels consistent throughout the day, and no longer do I feel the impulsive need to eat something sugary or high in calories to sustain my energy.
 
This has been a challenge for both myself and Cheryl (my practitioner at the National Nutrition Clinic) as I continue to take a daily course of medications that in fact contribute to weight gain.
 
For me, losing weight was a continous battle due to the medications and was soul destroying. However, once I found the support and help I needed from the clinic my confidence grew and losing weight has finally became a a reality.
 
I would recommend the clinic to anyone who wishes to lose weight. The support and advice I have recieved has been excellent and has been the solution to my weight loss.
 
Cheryl has been extremely encouraging and sensitive to the problems associated with my weight gain and through her expertise and genuine concern she has worked with me to find the solutions to both my weight loss and my confidence with my body again.
 
I would like to thank everyone at the clinic for all their support, professional advice and genuinely caring approach to my weight loss.

About Our Hypnotherapy Clinic

"NNC Has Helped Me To get My Life Back"  Jo Green, Isleworth

"The first time I came to the NNC hypnotherapist I was completely convinced of the fact that I was probably mad and beyond help. 

I was surprised at how quickly he was able to determine the route cause of my problems (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), I had no idea, but did know that my everyday life was very difficult.  He was so understanding and confidence inspiring, that even for somebody with the 'trust issues' that I had (past tense) found it easy to open up.    

I've had a few sessions now and the difference I feel is quite remarkable.  I no longer feel the anxiety and stress that I did in certain situations, I feel literally lighter, more relaxed and confident.  My sleeping has improved greatly, and generally I feel as though the sun is out and I'm no longer wandering around in darkness.  

I had tried counselling therapy and it made me feel much worse - I spent most of those sessions going over very painful memories and experiencing them all over again, rather than doing anything constructive to help me move forward.   

Hypnotherapy has helped me to get my life back.  I'm so grateful, truly amazing, thank you."

Jo Green, Isleworth

The screening was affordable and has solved my problem. I now have loads of confidence, energy and a clear head. Give it a go - it's worth it!" Su Humphris, Swanley

About Our Nutritional Therapy Service

“I had a nightmare with the NHS and even Harley St failed me so I owe the National Nutrition Clinic a lot. Their treatment helped me a great deal so I feel quite passionately about providing people with the information I found it hard to get hold of. I’m 150% better due to it. “ Barney Worfolk-Smith, London N16

"It was something of a miracle when quite by chance I came across the National Nutrition Clinic on the internet last April with its new IBS clinic. Having searched for years for help with my many distressing IBS symptoms I have much appreciated their excellent programme to find a cause and a cure. Their friendly professional help is second to none and I have been advised and supported  through the necessary tests & dietary advice until I now feel restored to health. My most sincere thanks to all concerned and especially to Carol who is a real ‘star’. "

June Chamberlain, Bath

"Ever since my IBS began 3 years ago, I thought it was something I was doing wrong. I saw many different dieticians and doctors and spent a small fortune on various forms of alternative and medical therapy in an attempt to cure my constant bloating and poor digestive system, but my symptoms never improved.

It wasn't until I found the National Nutrition Clinic purely by chance when surfing the internet that I finally found a treatment that has worked in the long term. Finally I have got some answers to the question I've been asking myself ever since my IBS started: "what is wrong with me?"

With the support and advice I have received from Barbara, my nutritional therapist, and the tests she recommended I have done, my symptoms are finally improving and I’m feeling much more positive that one day I will be able to live my life completely normally again and that is worth every penny. My only regret is that I didn't find this clinic sooner."

Rose Benson, Cambridge

"Regarding the bowel situation I am making really good progress. Was it just two months ago that I told you I couldn't have a normal movement? It's really wonderful - it's been years! I can't thank you enough for your skill which is producing such wonderful results"

Keith Robson, Whitley Bay, Tyne & Wear

"I want to say a huge thank you to all at the clinic. I recently had a food intolerance testing and nutritional therapy consultation. The results from my new eating plan have been immense, alongside losing weight I have also improved certain other aspects of my life that result from diet-related stress.

As a result I have increased my energy levels and reduced heart burn and bruising. The eating plan was adapted to my life style so was easy to follow and I received some good tips. I would thoroughly recommend anyone to do this, knowing what foods you are intolerant to and amending your diet around them is a simple thing to do to improve your overall well-being."

Joanna Cumming, London NW2

" After feeling very down because my life was changing, I could not even go out to dinner for the fear of my IBS starting. I decided to finally seek advice as my local GP did the typical thing of prescribing tablets (which did not work). I wanted to see if the way I was eating was exacerbating my IBS. My consultation was so personal and informative that I did not want to leave! I have now lost some weight and am enjoying going to restaurants again. Thank you for all your support."                     Katherine Hughes, St Margarets

" I found the nutritionist's advice excellent. She focused on specific issues and her advice was practical, based on a regime that I could fit into my life and could follow practically. She didn't expect me to be perfect and that enabled me to follow her advice quite easily and to see the results."

Lesley Stalker, Walton-on-Thames

"Just wanted to send you a mail to say a huge Thank You for the session with the nutritionist yesterday. It was a brilliant session and I learnt a lot about what I should and should not be eating."

Rebecca Jackson, London SW18
