What was your main reason for going on the Plan?

I wanted to feel comfortable wearing my bikini on holiday. Although I’m relatively slim I felt that I had a ‘jelly belly’ so decided to try the 6-week Whole-Body Plan to improve the definition in my tummy area. I knew that a mix of eating better, drinking more water and exercise each day would help but subscribing to the plan definitely gave me more focus.

How did you find the experience?

The plan was really easy to follow and even although I’ve completed the six weeks I’ll eat and drink this this from now on. Plus, it fitted in with our lifestyle. I’ve since made a few tweaks to the family meals – who’d have guessed that kids would prefer wholegrain rice to the white stuff I’ve fed them all their lives?

And the exercises?

The exercises were great. Just 10-mins a day is very easy to stick to. My favourites were the first two especially the abs one.

What results did you achieve after the six weeks were over?

The fat bits around my bra strap have gone, my jelly belly is smaller and I’ve lost inches in all areas…I’ve even got a bit of definition in my abs! My digestive health has seen a vast improved as it used to be sluggish and, I’m sleeping really well. Also, I’ve seen an improvement in my skin through drinking the recommended amount of water every day.

If recommending Nutritious Lolly to friends and family, what would you say?

The plan is so simple, it’s not a diet, it’s about changing habits…and prosecco is allowed… which was very important to me!!

What were your reasons for wanting to embark on a nutrition plan?

I train very intensely and I am very competitive.  I needed more energy for training and knew that if I could improve my diet it would help with performance.   With that in mind I am a very picky eater so knew this would be a challenge for Lolly. 

What were your goals and expectations?

I wanted to train harder for longer, build muscle mass, have more energy and win more competitions.  There was a bit of a list.  

Did you find the Plan easy to follow and understand? 

Lolly makes everything easy.  She worked around the things I like to eat and created lots of solutions and meal ideas that would work for everyone in the family.  She provided continued support and tweaked things along the way so that things were constantly improving. I learned more every week about nutrition and how it can work for me.  She makes everything easy so I was surprised as I really enjoyed it!  

Did the Plan improve your overall competitiveness in your Sport? 

Yes definitely.  I had so much more energy.  I never fatigued in training and built muscle mass which is exactly what I wanted.  I also felt more confident!  

Did you follow the recipes and recommendations for supplementation, recovery meals, protein intake?  If so, did you find them useful, quick and convenient? 

Everything was easy to follow and easy to adapt to work and training and everyday life!  This was the biggest surprise.  

Have you won competitions/titles/galas?  Please provide a list including personal best times, medals, awards and titles. 

I won Gold in the Eastern District Championships three times. Scottish Champion.  I have boxed for Scotland.  I also won Best East Lothian Boxer four times.  

What was the hardest part of the Plan? 

I am a picky eater and not great when it comes to trying new things although Lolly worked around this and provide solutions for things that I did really like.  

Did you feel supported by Lolly during the process? 

Yes. She was fantastic!  

Have you noticed a difference in fat loss / inch loss and muscle mass? 

I burned more body fat and built muscle mass.  This was a key element of what I wanted to achieve so that I felt stronger and more powerful.  

Have your energy levels improved? 

There was a significant difference in energy levels.  Sleep quality improved as well.  

Did you reach your goal and how did that feel? 

Yes, it felt amazing!  I would recommend everyone to do the Plan.  It is much easier than you think it will be.  My main goal was to eat healthier as my diet was not good.  

What changes have you made to your nutrition and fitness since completing the Whole-Body Plan/ tailored Nutrition Plan?

I understand the importance of protein for Sport.  What to eat and when.  All I need to know about supplementing my diet and what to eat for recovery meals as well as how much water to drink and when to include Electrolytes and how to vary my diet so that I don’t get bored and I am getting enough of everything.  I recover from training faster now too so I can go back training the next day without having tired muscles.  

If recommending Nutritious Lolly to friends and family, what would you say?
