Have you ever been on a diet only to find that when you stop and eat ‘normally’ again that you’ve returned to your pre-diet weight? I have. Numerous times. So when I met behavioural change specialist Meera Mehat and heard about her Change Your Mindset and Reduce Your Weight course, I was intrigued and decided to try it.
Meera works from her home office in Maidenhead. “My husband and I used to live in Nottingham city centre when our three sons were little, but we moved to Maidenhead so that the boys could go to excellent schools in a great area,” she says. “It was a good decision. Moving here allowed the boys more freedom and to make strong friendships, plus enabled us to become part of a lovely community and enjoy the wonderful countryside, while still being able to access all the fun of London. The balance between urban and country living is fab.”
Looking at her slim physique, it’s hard to believe Meera was once a size 18. “I used to binge on ice cream every night,” she admits. “But I learnt that the relationship between the mind and body is what allows you to control your eating and your exercise, so I changed the way I thought about food and it helped me to lose weight successfully. And now I want to share my learnings with others.”
Meera, a Harley Street Consultant, has designed a four-week programme to help you gain a winning mindset, and now I have completed her course, I can speak from experience.
