I am now ensuring that my family and I have more variety with our meals

“I was interested in learning more about healthy eating, nutrition and gut health. I also wanted to confirm from my own research on the internet if I was going at it correctly.  Ilona’s 4-week class did validate this and more. Having a live online face to face explanation of nutrition etc… was just ideal. The… Read more “I am now ensuring that my family and I have more variety with our meals”

“I started working with Ilona because I realised my nighttime cravings and emotional eating was out of control. While I would eat quite a healthy diet during the day, in the evenings, I seemed to crave sweet, fatty (such as butter) and salty things. I know I want to be a healthy 80 year old… Ilona took a lot of time to listen and look into my past health history and my eating habits.Together, we created a nutrition and lifestyle plan that I could follow easily. I gained a good understanding of how food reacts in my body and visualising this helped me stick to the recommendations.After only one week, I could already notice how my energy levels were improving and that I felt less bloated.I love the food I’m eating and fasting for 14hours was easy and actually very enjoyable as I liked the feeling of my tummy being empty.Keeping a food diary is a great way of keeping myself accountable.After about 3 weeks, people were noticing the changes in my body and were commenting that I looked well. I also felt well and noticed a definite increase in my energy levels.I was back enjoying my weekends and didn’t need them to recover from the week’s work.Despite having a very busy schedule at work, I can now manage it and feel great and full of energy throughout the day. My life doesn’t feel like I am on a hamster wheel anymore. I now feel compassion for my body rather than an intolerance of it!From someone who was often “hangry” when I didn’t eat, it is ok for me now to go through periods of feeling hungry while, for instance, cooking my dinner.There has definitely been a big “switch” that happened in the last 8 weeks. In the past, I would have struggled motivationally once I reached a weight loss goal, but now I know I just don’t want to go back to where I was. And I feel very confident that I am now equipped with a plan that I will stick to. I also understand why we need support over a longer period and that one session is not sufficient to make lasting changes.”Read more “”

I now have a better understanding of the importance of nutrition to physical and mental wellbeing.

I took part in Ilona’s 4-week Transformation group programme because I am aware that nutrition is such a core element of outlives that is often neglected. The course contained very informative and accessible presentations on a wide range of issues. I now have a better understanding of the importance of nutrition to general physical and… Read more “I now have a better understanding of the importance of nutrition to physical and mental wellbeing.”

The DNA Test has really helped me stick to the guidelines

I have a much better understanding of how what I eat can affect how I feel.

I’ve lost 5lbs, am not as exhausted and my thinking is much clearer!

Loving the recipes and my partner (that doesn’t eat veg) loves them too. The mushroom lasagne went down really well with my vegan friend. The Moroccan chicken was delicious and the lamb & chickpea curry is amazing. I made double the quantity for the freezer.

After just two weeks I had already noticed a big change in my energy levels

I came to see Ilona for a 20 min free chat, as I have high cholesterol but cannot tolerate the medication. I knew I had to do something regarding my diet, I just didn’t know where to start.

Not just for losing weight, but for a healthier lifestyle

Just finished Ilona’s 4 week course.  Really enjoyed this from the very start when she took us through what exactly each food group does and how these work with (or against) our internal organs.

The best of all for me is that my blood sugar levels which have always been high have now reached the lowest level and I feel like a new woman with a zest for life again and the energy to match it.

One morning whilst at work, I saw an advertisement in the local community centre for a talk free talk on in Bray Library on the 8th March 2019 from 11-12 and the heading was “Are you addicted to Sugar”.  I thought yes I will go along to that and see what’s this about. Once I heard… Read more “The best of all for me is that my blood sugar levels which have always been high have now reached the lowest level and I feel like a new woman with a zest for life again and the energy to match it.”

I am actually eating more

Over the last few years, although I have had a fairly healthy diet and exercise regime, I have been struggling with losing a few kilos that I felt I could do with losing. I had tried upping my exercise routine, reducing my calorie intake etc. but wasn’t really making any progress. A couple of months… Read more “I am actually eating more”

Terrific advice

I attended one of Ilona’s courses last year and spoke highly of this at the time. I am happy to report one year later I am still avoiding (99%) sugar in my diet.

Ilona’s support and encouragement were invaluable, money well invested…

After years of feeling constantly fatigued, struggling to lose weight and being constantly stressed, I decided to take action.  I met Ilona at a business group we were both members of and decided to give her a call, most definitely one of the best decisions I have ever made. I went in with a certain… Read more “Ilona’s support and encouragement were invaluable, money well invested…”

After 8 weeks, I feel like a different person.

After a period of stress and ill health, I had arrived at a place where I had lost my love of food, my joy of cooking and was lacking energy, motivation and a way forward – and as a result, was low and probably depressed. I was recommended to go to Illona – and after… Read more “After 8 weeks, I feel like a different person.”
