"I joined the Wildfit 90 day challenge and lost 28kg in weight"

Quick summary

After struggling with weight gain, pre-diabetes, and severe COVID symptoms that left him breathless, he discovered Wildfit and lost 28kg in 90 days. The transformation eliminated most of his health issues and gave him renewed energy and strength.

Hi,

Just wanted to share with you my success story on Wildfit, which was a life changing experience for me. I’ve always had a struggle with food throughout my life, I love food, I just did not discriminate or limit myself with types or portion size as I had a poverty mentality from childhood.

My mum did her best to cook on the little money she had that had not been spent on gambling by my father. However, when I was born my parents had just come out of rationing, and I was brought up mostly on tinned, boiled or fried food. Never touched a fresh vegetable until I was 14yrs old, in my twenties when I ran a decorating business I got into the habit of eating bread food, sandwiches, pizzas, easy fast stuff that you just scoffed down without thinking as you usually didn’t have that much time to eat.

When I changed direction and entered into occupational therapy, I was less active, sat more in clinics and people’s homes doing a lot less physical work and more writing. As a consequence the pounds piled on, I knew it, so tried lots of different diets, weight watchers, vegetarian, some paleo. I was having some serious health issues developing because of my weight and size and the doctor putting me on the NHS pre-diabetic course set the alarm bells ringing.

I got cellulitis 3 times in two years, had lots of water retention, aching joints, swollen ankles, big belly. When I got Covid November 2022, I got it really bad, became incredibly breathless. When you can’t breathe, it's very scary. I used to have to pause very 20 yds or so to catch my breath and had to pause on each landing as I lived on a top floor.

Thankfully having dealt with anxiety management I understood what to do when my heart was beating at 170 bpm to slow my heart pace down. My friend helped me with dealing with my inflammation using natural remedies. However, it wasn’t until I came across Wildfit that things really changed. Vishen from Mindvalley was talking with Eric of how the philosophy of Wildfit and how the food industry is keeping us fat and how the Wildfit approach changed his personal health and that of his team at Mindvalley.

This spoke to me, and as a result I joined the Wildfit 90 day challenge and lost 28kg in weight and it has made such a difference to my life. My weight plateaued but I am not worried as I just believe in the process. I feel so good and lots of small changes are happening and continue to happen which in turn accelerates my improvements to the point where my strength and energy levels are accelerating every day, every week. People who have not seen me for a while tell me how fantastic I look. By the time I reach the Mindvalley University in July I’m going to be a new person!!!! I have listed below some of the awesome improvements in weight and health resulting from the Wildfit90 Course

Previous issues prior to losing 28kg on Wildfit:

Feeling Heavy and lethargic

Laboured breathing

Snoring

Swollen ankles

Muscle sourness on exertion

Swollen painful knees

General stiffness

Tiredness when walking any distance

Not able to walk fast

Very tight calves

Inflamed soles of my feet

Sore back when standing

Dandruff

Poor quality of sleep

The urgent need to pee when out in the community

Waking up in the middle of the night to pee

Poor uncomfortable urine flow

Lost libido

I am very glad to say most of the above have either gone or are very much on the wain. Thanks to the Wildfit Challenge and rapid transformation of my body, and more importantly my mindset and my inner food dialogue, that will stay with me for the rest of my life.
