What our readers say...
"I have just recently finished Dr Amanda's telephone coaching program. I had read her book, I agreed with the principles and I had tried the 'diet' on my own without a lot of success. I was plateaued at 86.2 kilos for months. Then I decided to get some serious accountability going and I contacted Dr Amanda. I cannot recommend this enough to anybody who is needing to get off the 'merry-go-round' of dieting. Through my 'sessions' I learnt to stay focussed, to set achievable short-term goals and received feedback and encouragement each fortnight. In eight weeks, I lost 3.9 kilos and I am confident that I can continue to enjoy success. In fact, this Christmas I was thrilled to have been able to maintain my weight for the first Christmas EVER despite having truly 'enjoyed' some serious entertaining! Thank you so much Dr Amanda."
