EATERtype™: Over Indulger

My Weight Gain

I've always been on the larger size; my family have always eaten big meals and I found it hard to change the habits of a lifetime. When I went to university, I led a different lifestyle, meaning that my weight crept up even more and at my heaviest I weighed 15 stone.

I felt tired and sluggish, had no confidence and got into the cycle of eating more to make myself feel better. I missed the times when I was smaller and felt good about myself and I began to have too many fat days where I could find nothing to wear.

The turning point was seeing more and more pictures on Facebook which I hated - no matter what angle the pictures were taken I had double chins, fat arms and a round face.

Identifying my EATERtype™

I was excited when I was invited to take the EATERtype™ assessment because it offered a new way of looking at weight loss and promised to give me some valuable insights. The results showed that I am predominantly an Over Indulger.

This means that I am someone with a real love for food and that I hate the thought of cutting down in any way. Food is a massive part of my life and I have a real aversion to the idea of going on a diet or feeling hungry.

This EATERtype™ is associated with people who have a big appetite and who find it hard to cut down on the amount they eat. As part of my analysis I was given some handy tips on making changes to my lifestyle that would help me to manage my weight moving forwards. I was also recommend to try APPEsat™, which is a natural appetite suppressant that would make me feel fuller for longer, so I didn't feel the need to eat so much.

Making positive changes

The idea is that you combine taking APPEsat™ with realistic changes to your exercise levels and a healthier approach to eating. The advice I was given with my EATERtype™ was really useful and I found it easy to make the small changes suggested, which all contributed to my weight loss.

Why APPEsat™ works for me

I found that APPEsat™ worked straight away by reducing my appetite and hunger pangs, so I quickly began to eat less and lose weight. I feel much better and love people commenting on my weight loss: the double chin is going and I have more energy. Plus at dinner being able to put down my fork before I've cleared my plate (and everyone else's) leaves me feeling very virtuous!

Achieving success

I had lost weight in the past by going to the gym, but always gave up - often when work commitments grew, just missing a few sessions made me fall off the wagon. But with the help of sensible eating and APPEsat™ I have already lost 3 stone and have much more confidence.

I can't believe these little tablets really work! So many of these products promise results but the only pounds you lose are from your purse. It's nice that it does what it says it will do and without any dodgy side effects!
