Mars & Venus
Firstly, I am a man, a little out of the ordinary for Sarah's normal female clientele. I hope this testimonial can prove that even if Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus, Sarah's philosophies can benefit both!

I first met Sarah as I was about to tuck in to a rather large fried breakfast at a business breakfast club back in May 2005. When I asked her what she did I was suitably embarrassed by what I was about to consume. Despite this adversity I agreed to take Sarah up on her offer of a Diet Coach session. In due fairness I had been toying with the idea of 'watching my weight', but, truthfully felt ill qualified to do so. There are a myriad of articles — eat this, don't eat that — all of which I quite frankly found boring and too complicated.

First Session
Despite my expectations of being lectured and told to eat lettuce leaves I arrived for my first session which proved to be relatively painless. After establishing that I drank in the region of 15 cups of tea a day and ate chocolate at a furious rate, we put together a plan for me to 'eat sensibly' over the coming two weeks whilst I filled in sheets of what I had eaten on a daily basis. Then came the dreaded weigh in - 17 stone 2 lb! Help was at least underway.

The second and subsequent sessions followed with constructive and good-hearted advice, steadily seeing the weight come off. No crash solutions, just a re-education as to what to eat and when. After the first month the improvement in my general well being was significant enough to amaze me, I can quite honestly say I felt fantastic. I have always played regular sport, mainly squash and tennis, both of which has improved enormously due to the weight loss and generally healthier feeling.

All Clear
I have now seen Sarah nine times and am pleased to say I have the 'all clear' having gone down to 15 stone 13 pounds and feeling great.

This process was not only far easier than I expected, it has also given me the ability to habit form a different way of eating.

I cannot recommend Sarah enough. Thank you very much.
