Jill (61) and Stuart (62) had previously successfully lost weight with Temple Vie in preparation for their daughter’s weddings in 2019. They were both managing to maintain their weight loss, eating well and enjoying regular exercise until the Covid pandemic arrived disrupting their healthy routines.
The perceived expectation that they had to “over-deliver” in order to prove that they were essential workers was compounded as they watched numerous colleagues losing their jobs; the uncertainty about when they may next see friends and family along with a constant worry that, although fit and healthy, they too could become seriously unwell if infected meant living under constant stress with no respite in sight.
With access to the gym denied and enforced working from home, some sort of comfort was necessary and so it was all too easy to slip back into old habits. Snacking in front of the TV, which seemed to be the only real source of entertainment, the increasing availability and choice offered by food delivery services coupled with the lure of a tempting glass of wine to mark the end of another groundhog day provided the perfect storm – and so the weight crept back on.
Knowing that Temple Vie had worked for them before made it an obvious choice for helping them to get back on track. Stuart commented
“Temple Vie is far and away vastly superior to any other diet I had tried. Other programmes can have a quick rate of weight loss rate to start with but then my will-power and determination fail when I realise that I just can’t stick to an impossible diet. Temple Vie on the other hand has more structure, variety and education– the whole ethos makes total sense.”
Jill supported this saying
“I like the clear guidelines of the programme. I never felt hungry and I had previously felt very supported by the team at Temple so I knew they would help me re-establish my good routines”
Over the course of the next 3 months, Jill lost more than a stone and 16.5 cm from her waist. She became more adventurous with her exercise, making sure that she walked daily, was generally more active about the house and has also re-engaged with a personal trainer.
Stuart, once back into the routine of better eating, found losing weight easy – he lost more than 3.5 stone and dropped his body fat percentage by more than 15% - with 20cm gone from his waist he felt like a new man.
“I am really enjoying the discipline of regular exercise. I understand better the science behind building muscle and just love how I feel from eating better quality food. My choices are automatically much healthier and I no longer have to fight cravings or worry that I may be missing out!”
Both Jill and Stuart agree that it has been much easier to work together following the Temple Vie programme.
“Eating the same foods and knowing the rules meant we could support each other, keep each other in check and there was at times even a competitive element with neither of us wanting to be the one who gave up!”
Both Jill and Stuart are determined to maintain their weight loss and are committed to keeping in touch with the clinic as they develop and refine their lifestyles, always believing that there will be life after Covid
“ with a new grandchild on the way, the prospect of being able to travel again and meet up with family, we recognize just how important it is that we choose to live in a way that will keep us healthy and fit. Having Temple Vie as our guide will be invaluable”
