While following our Guided Plus program, Margaret lost 5 kilograms and an amazing 11 centimetres off her waist.

"Thank you Appetite Right, your excellent program has turned my life around. After battling with my weight for years, I successfully lost 5 kilograms and 11 centimetres from my waist. My overall health also greatly improved, and I find I now have more energy enabling me to follow an intensive exercise routine. I would personally recommend Appetite Right to anyone who not only wants to lose weight, but also improve their health and lifestyle."

Margaret who is a qualified nurse in Victoria, acknowledged having reasonable knowledge of food and nutrition issues, as well as exercise. Yet this hadn't been enough to overcome her past weight loss problems. She also confessed to some common, yet critical behavioural weight loss issues such as emotional eating and motivation. Our Guided Plus program was the perfect answer for Margaret because the fortnightly consultations enabled us to help her make, and maintain, critical improvements in her eating behaviour. Margaret developed amazing new skills to overcome these eating behaviours that had restricted her for years.

Take a look at the new Steven after he lost an amazing 23 kilograms.

"Losing all this weight has been an incredibly life-changing experience for me. Before trying Appetite Right I never would have thought appetite monitoring and awareness was so critical to losing weight. This is a simple, yet powerful concept that really works. I’d certainly recommend it to anyone who has previously struggled losing weight and wants to try a new approach. I haven’t felt this young and healthy in years!"

Steven had been overweight for nearly 20 years and was fed up with feeling unhealthy and out of shape. He had experienced little or no success with other programs and really wanted to do something to lose the weight. In 2006 he started Appetite Right's Guided Plus program; he was 106 kilograms and had a BMI of over 35. After carefully following the program his weight quickly began to drop. Within 4 months he had lost an amazing 23 kilograms and dropped several waist sizes. What was really exciting though, was that he never felt hungry and he was still able to enjoy eating tasty healthy foods. Today, Steven still follows the Appetite Right philosophies, and he is still losing weight. He has never looked back.

Here are just a few more of the testimonials we've received from our members:

Jane, age 54 - New South Wales. "I never used to understand how my friends could eat so much more than me and be so much thinner. I remember thinking that they must have a 'different body and brain' to me. I can't believe how wrong I was. You have taught me their secret! What a basic concept, yet it escaped me my whole life until I began your program. Appetite Right has been a wonderful help. Thank you!"

Sue, age 32 - Victoria. "I love this program! I had been working hard on changing my eating behaviours for the last three years, yet I still ate too much. Appetite Right gave me the exact tools I needed to become a "mindful eater". I just loved the phone consultations during the program. It felt great to know expert help was so close at hand. Now I'm eating with meaning and awareness nearly all the time. This is an enormous improvement from where I was just a short time ago."

Joan, age 57 - Queensland. "I am amazed that learning to be mindful about what, when and how much food I put in my mouth, could help me lose so much weight. I never lost this much weight during any of the other programs I had tried. It’s such an amazing feeling to know that I am in control of my eating. I know I can have dessert, wine, or whatever I want without feeling guilty. We are planning a family holiday soon, and I know I will have a great time eating wonderful food with my new eating skills!"

Julia, age 43 - South Australia. "This really has been a positive and life-changing experience for me. The major difference I found with this program from all the other things I tried in the past is that the focus is on me and how I feel, rather than just the food I'm eating. Appetite Right concentrates on the quality and pleasure of eating, not just food avoidance and deprivation. Now I am a mindful eater 90-95% of the time. It is a great gift to not ever have to diet again! Dimitra, I will recommend your program to others; it really is needed in so many lives."

Adrian, age 37 - Victoria. "I have struggled with the diet mentality for 10 years and now I am free. This program certainly changed my life. I was at a very low point when I started, and food seemed like the only thing that helped me feel better. Now I have re-learnt the way I approach eating, which has led to many positive changes in many areas of my life. This has truly been a lifestyle change, not just a diet!"

Grace, age 29 - New South Wales. "This program has inspired me to take ownership of my eating, exercise, and food choices. You have changed the way I think about nutrition and have extended my horizons when it comes to taking care of my own body and actually doing things that make me feel better. The fortnightly phone calls helped enormously. Now I am learning to incorporate this new way of thinking into my daily life. I feel so in charge, it is wonderful! Thank you so very much!"
