Why did you go to Monique Etkind?
I needed to lose weight and take charge of my eating habits. I was eating too much and of the wrong food types.

How has your health changed since you started with Monique?
Since visiting Monique I’ve lost about 7kg and have improved eating and exercise habits. I feel healthier and look better.
Do you make different choices with your food now?
Yes, most definitely. I balance my diet and control the amount I eat. I choose differently and are more considerate of what I eat.
How do you feel about your weight now?
I feel a lot happier and feel like it is under control. I care more whereas before I really wasn’t as concerned and had zero limits.
Are you cooking more?
Probably the same but just more conscious of what I cook and how much I consume.
Has eating nutritiously changed your mood or outlook on life? Yes definitely. It just makes me smarter about what I consume. My mood is better as I’m not as sluggish from eating the wrong things and being overweight.
Was having a meal plan beneficial?Yes as it helps me make decisions faster and is easier for week’s food planning.
Do you read supermarket packaging labels more closely?
Yes. I keep track of sugar and other ingredients found in packaged foods. I’m also more conscious of what natural foods to eat and for respective content.
What is your favourite product Monique has suggested for you?
Carmen’s muesli bars. I’ve never really eaten these and the ones suitable for my plan are tasty. I’ve also gotten into Vita Weats with Vegemite!!
What is your favourite recipe from Monique’s?
The Easy Roast Chicken.
