WILDFIT

Lost 6 kg and dropped 2 sizes while giving up coffee and dairy

Quick summary

He never imagined giving up his 8-cup-a-day coffee habit or learning to love vegetables. Through WildFit, he lost 6 kg, transformed his relationship with food, and inspired his wife to join him on the journey to better health.

Amazing experience that I highly recommend: Even though I didn't have major problems with my weight and health, I joined WildFit Challenge to learn more about and improve my nutrition. I lost 6 kgs and "shrinked" 2 sizes in two months, although I slipped sometimes. I have never thought I could do without coffee, which I drink at least 8 cups a day - or dairy products. Yet, I don't drink coffee or caffeine products for last two months, and my sleep improved dramatically. I am done with dairy products, too. So, my blood test results were super, and occasional dermatides never showed up again.

I didn't enjoy vegetables or fruit very much till WildFit change my "taste buds". My wife was shocked when she saw me ordering a huge bowl of salad in a restaurant and enjoy eating it. So, she jumped on the wagon with me and had incredible results too.

And, the most interesting memory I have regarding this challenge is this: In the middle of the challenge, I arrived at a hotel in France, to spend a few days in Disneyland with my kids. Since the hotel lacked quality foods, and we would return back at night, I bought celery, avocado and some other green stuff from a vegetables market on our way to Disneyland. You should see the faces of the security guards, as I emptied the veggies from my backpack at the checkpoint! Now, although I delayed it two weeks, I adopted the WildFit Lifestyle. Now I can distinguish healthy foods from the junk food; and I feel happier and healthier ever.
