I went for my workplace medical check at the TfL and was told by the health technician that I should pay attention to my weight. I asked for help and she recommended the Roczen programme to me.

I’ve been trying to manage my weight for the past 25 years, it’s never really worked. I thought this is just another weight loss programme that probably won’t work, but I’d give it a go.

‍

What changed was when I first made my clinician, Tiago. He was so genuine, non-judgemental, and really interested in what I had to say. I felt I could trust him and as a result I was honest and wasn’t down-playing any issues I was facing.

‍

I also did a HbA1c test at the start to check my blood sugar status. I was shocked to find out that I was living with prediabetes. The news really focused my mind on taking my health seriously.

Yes, I feel like a different person now. I’ve lost 26 lbs (12 kg) so far and I’ve never lost this much weight ever. I’ve lost 5 inches around my waist, I’m no longer prediabetic. Even my knee pain is gone and I’ve managed to join a gym!

‍

Roczen also changed my mindset around health - I’m taking it more seriously now and I know I can take control of my health with small and consistent changes.

Yes, I know I started with scepticism. It’s been 6 months now, and I’ve incorporated the good habits as part of my lifestyle. I don’t miss my snacks as much, and of course, I have treats every now and then, but that’s life!

‍

The good thing about Roczen is that I know it is okay to enjoy life and still be healthy.
