I have lost a whopping 12.7 kilograms, 16 cm from around my waist, body fat percentage down from 30.8% to 23.6% in 8 weeks doing the Fernwood Strong Challenge combined with the Aston RX Metabolic Reset but that is not all.
12 years ago, I had the 50 year old bowel screen test which returned as requiring further investigation because it had blood in it. The gastroenterologist’s examination that I had resulted in the discovery of a bleeding ulcer that was caused by a leaking hernia valve to my stomach which was allowing my gastric acid to escape and cause the burn, which then on repeat could not heal. I had been suffering with very bad reflux and heartburn for a very long time. Treatment was 40mgs Nexium for the rest of my life.
I have lost weight before by reducing the fat in my diet and counting every morsel of food or by exercising my ass off. At 62 yrs this was just not working anymore. The weight around my stomach was increasing however “Love the Body you are in” so I tried to ignore it and be thankful that that was my only complaint.
Within the first two weeks I did not need as much Nexium. I started to take only half the dose and then I just forgot to take it without any negative results.
I have also noticed that my blood pressure has reduced as the top measure had been creeping up. I’m sleeping better too. I feel more alert and sort of calmest. I am also loving that the size 10 clothes can now be dusted off so I can wear them again.
This is the best education about our bodies and nutrition, breaking all the myths.
Thank you AstonRX for partnering with Fernwood Fitness.
