Personal Story

Personal Story

In the past, predominantly after my 40th year period, I had some problems with body weight. Simply, less physical work, many stress situations, and uncontrolled food intake together increased my body weight. I tried several diets until I found the golden rule:

”It is all about the food intake behaviour!”

One small piece of cake is as tasty as half of the cake! Simply, I change my food intake regime so that I escape from all snacks between meals, that I eat only one or two (not heavy) meals!

As a result, I feel excellent, I increased my physical bodywork for one hour daily, and in 6 months, I lost more kilograms! So, I succeed as soon as I changed my mind from diet to the life change regimen. Moreover, now, I simply maintain my weight with one hour of exercise every second day. I have much more energy than before, and, most importantly, I feel happy when I buy brand new pair of jeans or jacket that fits me well. It is easy – try and be persistent! Change your food intake behaviour!

Yours, Borut Štrukelj
