turningthis December and I finally have learned how to feed myself thanks to Petronella's book, The Human Being Diet taught me how to eat a healthy diet that keeps me satisfied, feeling fantastic, sleeping better and allows for a weekly treat meal when I can eat anything.
She teaches the science behind a healthy metabolism and focuses on aweek program reset followed by a lifetime program.
It works and it is simple and sustainable, This book is about living a full life with a healthy relationship to food, I'm ayear old woman who slowly put on weight over the pastyears, My weight gain was gradual, a pound or two a year, but a pound or two a year foryears and I went frompounds topounds.
I eat healthily, mostly organic, low carb, high protein, low sugar, little alcohol, I lift weightstimes a week, do pilatestimes a week, cycle or swimtimes a week, I'm in excellent shape except for the extra weight, I've lostpounds since January,and the weight is still coming off, I feel and look so much better, Thank you, Petronella! I bought this book after seeing a Facebook group of supportive people, I have done Keto foryears and the scale just yo yod and my cholesterol was insane, Never did balance out. I bought the Human Being Diet and started themonth program in January, I lostpounds. I have not been this thin since my's, I'mnow. I literally get compliments daily and changed my life! Even when I indulge on vacation, I just get right back on the plans and in three days I'm back down to my thin weight.
Petronella supports you on Instagram and is genuinely concerned about the health of her followers, People! Buy this book! If you follow this plan, I promise you will feel so much better and the side effect is that you will drop tons of weight.
I don't know anyone that hasn't, The best health book you will ever buy! Cheers! AtI was struggling to lose the midsection weight that I had gainedlbs over the pastyears.
On a whimsey I was compelled to try The Human Being Diet", I just completed phaseweek detox and am pleased beyond belief to report having lostlbs," off my waist and another inch from both my bust and hips.
I feel wonderful and to top it off my skin is glowing! Really liked the "light" explanation of "hard" science behind the rules.
This is not an easy silver bullet, It takes a lot of discipline and persistence, But if her theories are right, I believe it has done a reset for me, This book contains up to the minute and sensible nutritional science information which mentally prepares you for the eating regime prescribed in the second half.
Its written in a personable and relatable fashion, The initialday diet works, even if the food feels a little boring towards the end you do start fantasizing about the treat meal at the end.
I feel so much healthier in myself, I have energy, and lostkgs in first week, Amdays in and yet to do second weigh in but can feel the fat literally melting off me.
If you're overyrs old its worth consulting either Petronella or a qualified nutritionist to get blood tests to check current health status and any nutrition levels/deficiencies so she/they can reccommend any additional supplements / probiotics to ensure maximum vitamin/mineral absorption during the diet.
I think this diet has/will revolutionise my eating, health and hormone balance going forward, So glad to have found this book, . and Petronella!
UPDATE: Aftermonths and myrd weigh in with Petronella I had lostkgs an immense surprise to me given I was only following the book and not consulting her directly.
It really is a fantastic and generally easy to manage the eating regime, My metabolic age has gone fromto!
UPDATE: Aftermonths I felt some bad habits were slipping back in and that i needed another kick start so along with a fellow devotee we embarked on theday cleanse again.
I lost the finalkgs I needed within the firstdays, I would add doing
it the second time was much easier much less angst knowing what to expect and what to do.
Three months on, I can mix things up a bit sometimes while mainly adhering to main principles and am able to maintain the same weight.
I did a weigh with P today and my metabolism has further improved which explains the tolerance for any occasional deviation.
This regime is a game changer, takebackcontrol I have to admit being biased but only because I tried out Petronellas diet four months back as my own scientific investigation into what I knew she was writing.
As a result The Human Being Diet is the new normal for me,
There is so much wisdom here based on what Petronella has seen working in her clinic, Check out the contents including all the research articles, Its easy to read. Humorous. Gentle. Clear. A way of eating for digestive problems, insomnia PMT/PMS, PCOS, skin problems, headaches, typediabetes, middle aged spread, as well as obesity.
Petronella helps us understand: ghrelin the hunger hormone why an apple a day may keep the doctor away the necessity of a weekly treat meal and why a little poison is good for us why its important to sleep in the dark why sugar leaves us exhausted and why diversity of food is key to a healthy gut.
Check out sunshine melts fat, and the benefits of saunas and cold swimming too,
For me it sorted out a serious colitis problem almost overnight and I lost weight although that wasnt the aim, as did my partner who did it with me as moral support.
Weve kept that weight off too even though we dont follow the diet strictly any, Our metabolisms seem to know what theyre doing, Best of all I understand how to be kind to my body and my immune system as it deals with unavoidable stress to quote Petronella: psychological traffic wardens/mortgages/deadlines or physiological extreme exercise/trauma.
Its a diet for Human Beings NOW, This is meant as constructive feedback, I found the book easy to read and clear, It made a lot of sense too, so I decided to give it a try, At'" andstonelbs I wasn't particularly looking for weight loss though a few pounds off is always welcome I was hoping for health benefits such as increased energy, reduced inflammation, better sleep, etc.
I managed to reach day, at which point I almost felt ill, I was exhausted, emotional, irritable, and unable to focus on anything but the next meal, Worst of all I felt and bone chillingly cold, and by the end of the afternoon of day, I had to take to my bed with a hot water bottle.
My experience was that Phase, theday vegetable fast, was hard but manageable, Phasewas unrelentingly difficult and there was no way I could have lasteddays, I'm a determined person and when I put my mind to something I usually see it through to the end, but Imagine severely restricting the calorie intake of each of your meals, fasting forhours in between, without even a cup of black tea or coffee to see you though, and doing that fordays after having fasted fordays.
It was just impossible for me, I've read the other success stories and I can only conclude that the difference between success and failure is whether you are a meat eater or a vegetarian.
I assume meat, fish, and chicken is filling than eggs, beans, and tofu and also contain fat, which makes the diet sustainable.
I'm convinced about this way of eating but need someone to write a good low carb vegetarian diet book with lots of recipe ideas.
If you are a vegetarian or vegan I'd say to approach this diet with caution, Where do i start
This book is for everyone, It essentially gives you the tools to a new way of life that incorporates a healthy balanced diet that will reset your body to work efficiently.
You will see improvements in your digestions, sleeping patterns, skin and also lose weight,
Petronalla has done a fantastic job in creating a beautifully written and extremely informative book, it is simple to follow, has an abundance of external resource information and written with a caring personal tone.
I am currently in Phaseof the programme and can already see this is a new way of life, that I will permanently incorporate.
I have always been the type of person that would love a fad diet, yo yo up and down in my weight whilst getting frustrated, hungry and unsure of what to do next.
This book really does lay out a very clear and simple path of how to nurture and look after your body whilst achieving results.
I am no longer worrying about what I should be eating and when, it really is so simple to follow.
As for results on dayi had lost,lbs. I am sleeping better, my skin is looking super clear and best of all i'm not hungry, This book is for anyone who would like to make positive changes to their body, It's not only about weight loss but about treating you body in a kindly manner, which in turn will bring beneficial changes to how you look and feel.
Not exaggerating when I say this is the holy grail in diet and nutrition, It works like a charm , I feel absolutely fabulous! Thanks so much Petronella , your book is life changing, As a registered nurse I thought I was knowledgeable about hormones, nutrition and human biology! But I have had an education in the last six weeks.
I have spent the best part ofyears following weight watchers, and noticed recently that it had stopped working for me.
Probably because i could still make food choices that werent particularly good for my body, whilst remaining within my allowance.
When I was young this strategy worked, It peri menopause and it no longer served me,
I had spent the last twenty years on fat free or low fat versions of foods I loved.
Imagine my delight when I can now enjoy full fat Greek yoghurt, coconut yoghurt, olive oil and avocados! I am liberated from sugar.
I am no longer scratching around the kitchen wondering what I can snack on next, The plan is very simple to follow, It is very doable as Petronella says herself, The weight loss rewards come quickly, and the sleep you experience is so deep that you feel refreshed and energised every morning.
I never knew how good stable blood sugAr levels could feel, The benefits are far reaching, Ive lostpounds inweeks, my skin is glowing, my confidence is boosted, Im told I look radiant again.
I feel vibrant, and youthful again, Libido has returned. PMT has vanished. Im no longer craving sugar fixes, Im no longer hungry. I no longer want to drink alcohol as a pick me up, My body is just balanced, and doing what it should be doing processing whole nutritious unprocessed foods, I think Im now in with a chance of living tolike my granny did! Try it, its life changing.
