TESTIMONALS

Monique Etkind has been helping clients with their weight loss & maintenance, nutrition and motivation for over 15 years.

“I have never liked the word “diet” as to most people it means restrictive eating but to me it’s the habitual way a person eats. I have always tried to have this healthy relationship with food, which has allowed me to be successful in helping others integrate this way of eating into their lives, to achieve health or weight loss goals, without feeling they are following a regimented plan. ”
– Monique Etkind

” I was stuck in a rut of weight gain/dieting and no matter how or what latest diet I tried nothing would hold me accountable or give me a plan to actually eat well within my current lifestyle, focusing on a goal and keeping the weight off. As well as all this give me the tools to look at food differently and make decisions when purchasing foods by reading labels and choosing the best most nutritious option… I am comfortable in my own skin, I feel happier and healthier and a better version of myself!
– Thanks Monique. ”

I do slip up here and there and go off the rails from time to time. But without fail, when I take control and follow Monique’s advice, the kilos come off without fail.

“I am much more aware of making better food choices, I am not as hard on myself for making unhealthy food choices”

“Feeling amazing and lost 12.5 kgs in total so far. All my old clothes fit, I am much more confident, I don’t get bloated and I am in an amazing routine with my food, exercise and frame of mind. I feel so much better and can confidently make healthy choices whatever the setting and wake up feeling great every day!”

“I feel so much more energised, and I enjoy doing things to benefit my health because of all the advantages that Monique has made known to me.”

“The most amazing thing that i have learned from Monique is how to have and maintain a balanced life style with food and exercise. I always enjoy my visits to her and her relaxed demeanour. Going to Monique is a lifestyle rather than a quick fix.”

I lost the weight with Monique and have never calorie counted since. I feel confident that as I get older, particularly moving into the age group where a lot of women naturally put on weight, that I will maintain my weight due to her guided eating plan. Monique as a person is so lovely. She is caring and interested in you as an individual. She provides encouragement and guidance week by week. I will visit Monique until I am 90!

I was able to lose 10kg within 6 months. I feel healthier, lighter, have a clearer headspace and just overall happier. I would highly recommend Monique’s services as they are holistic and really work to each individual’s diet and lifestyle.

The thing that I love most about Monique’s meal plan is that she gives you so many options and a lot of flexibility to make many of your own food choices, so I never get bored or feel like I have to eat the same things on repeat.

What I love about Monique is her positive attitude and encouraging nature. She keeps me accountable— to her and to myself, but I always leave the appointments feeling uplifted, motivated and armed with a plan. I never feel bad about myself or hopeless. Monique has endless ideas for how to turn a meal or a snack into satisfying experience. It’s not about restricting and denying the foods you crave. Her product suggestions are great, too!

“I went to Monique initially to lose weight but I got so much more! I learnt how to lose weight in a way where I can still have the foods that I love.”

Monique always says its so simple just follow what I tell you and the results will deliver- and it really is that simple. Monique takes into account the way you eat, live and conduct your lifestyle and incorporates that into your healthy eating program. I often negotiate with Monique on the things I can’t give up or the dinners I have booked and we work out a way to include this into the week so that I can maintain my weight and not miss out on the socials. Monique genuinely wants the best outcome for her clients and will go the extra mile to achieve this.

“After going to Monique I lost 10 kg and this was during covid pandemic when everyone was putting in weight. I still go out and eat and have a wine and indulge when I want to. Monique is practical and provides an effective eating plan that works. She is lovely too and provides great tips for what supermarket products to eat and how to structure your day if you are going out.”
