How Nevena lost 18 kilograms and regained her confidence through a personalized approach to nutrition

In today's fast-paced world, many struggle with maintaining healthy habits and achieving their desired weight. Nevena (36), a manufacturing employee and mother of three, was no exception. Before she started working with me in January, she felt overwhelmed, had poor eating habits, and lacked self-confidence. Her relationship with health was compromised, and previous attempts to lose weight with the help of pills and diets did not yield long-term results.

Nevena had a chaotic meal schedule, often skipping meals or relying on fast food and pastries. Her typical day included pastries and yogurt for breakfast, and ended with French toast, fried dough, or puff pastry. In addition to excess weight, Nevena also struggled with a lack of energy, poor mood, and a sense of hopelessness when it came to her health.

The turning point came when she decided to seek professional help.

At the first meeting, I carefully listened to Nevena's concerns and goals. Together, we analyzed her habits, the challenges she faced, and the opportunities for change. The key was to understand her lifestyle, working in three shifts, and limited time for food preparation. In addition, I noticed that Nevena was struggling with an overload of information about nutrition and a lack of confidence that she could achieve lasting changes.

My approach is based on gradual, sustainable changes tailored to individual needs.

Instead of rigorous food exclusions and restricting the amount of calories during the day, we focused on establishing a meal routine, choosing healthier foods, and changing habits step by step. Together, we created two meal schedules tailored to her shifts, with a focus on four regular meals and avoiding snacks between meals.

The first step was to introduce regular meals into Nevena's day. We agreed on an approximate time for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks, taking into account her shifts and work breaks. I emphasized that this was just a suggestion and that we could adjust it in accordance with her obligations and feelings.

Nevena was extremely motivated.

We met regularly for consultations, and between meetings, I sent her advice and provided support. At each meeting, we analyzed progress, adjusted the plan, and solved new challenges. Using motivational interviewing techniques, I encouraged her to explore her motives for change and empowered her to believe in herself.

At the second meeting in February, we adjusted meal times and added healthy snack options, such as fruit, nuts, or yogurt. We also talked about sweets and unhealthy food. Instead of banning them completely, we agreed that Nevena would eat them in moderation and after main meals, in order to reduce their impact on blood sugar levels.

In March, we focused on removing bread and sweets from dinner, in order to extend the period of ketosis during the night. Nevena started choosing eggs, oatmeal with fruit, or Greek yogurt for breakfast, while for lunch she ate cooked meals with meat and vegetables.

During April and May, we worked on expanding the selection of healthy foods and introducing probiotics to improve gut flora. Nevena learned to design healthy meals on her own and to plan ahead so she would have healthy food at work.

The results were impressive!

In six months, Nevena lost 18 kilograms, reduced her body fat percentage from 42.6% to 40.7%, and increased muscle mass. Her visceral fat level significantly decreased from 8 to 6, and her blood parameters improved.
