Meet Ria Naude, a 34-year-old from Pinetown, Durban, who has transformed her life with the help of the Slender Wonder program. Ria, a wife and mother to a 5-year-old boy, manages a digital filing software company and knows all too well the challenges of balancing a busy lifestyle with healthy living.
Ria’s turning point came during a work trip to the UK last year. I took loads of pictures and saw myself, and realized how bad things got, she recalls. This moment of self-realization sparked her determination to make a change.
Like many, Ria’s weight gain was a result of a hectic lifestyle, relying on fast, carb-heavy foods, and not making time for exercise.
Ria learned about Slender Wonder through her sister-in-law, who had achieved amazing results with the program. This personal success story inspired Ria to give it a try. “I decided that it’s worth it to spend the money and make the lifestyle change so I can look at myself without shame,” she says.
Initially, Ria faced challenges, including headaches and detox symptoms, but the visible results kept her motivated. She particularly appreciated the body scans, which helped her understand how to exercise effectively to burn fat and not lean muscle. She was also pleased with the variety of meal options beyond just salads and no protein.
One of the toughest parts for Ria was making two different meals – one for her and another for her husband and son. She overcame this by finding healthy alternatives that worked for the whole family. For instance, she would make spaghetti bolognaise with lean mince and blended veggies. While her boys enjoyed it with pasta, she opted for shredded cabbage or zucchini spaghetti. Eliminating temptations at home, working out first thing in the morning, and drinking plenty of water were key strategies.
Ria has lost an impressive 25 kg in 5 months and has been maintaining her weight for 2 months now. While she no longer uses the injections, she continues to eat right and control her portions.
Before Slender Wonder, Ria tried other weight loss methods but found them unsustainable in the long term and, believes Slender Wonder stands out because it focuses on the basics of a good diet and incorporates injections that provide a much-needed kick start.
Losing weight has significantly improved Ria’s physical health, making it easier for her to play with her son and enjoy working out. Psychologically, she feels happier, like her old self, and no longer embarrassed by photos of herself.
Ria encourages anyone who has struggled with diet and exercise to consider Slender Wonder for its effective combination of a healthy diet and supportive injections. Her motto? “Don’t overthink it, just eat right, and move every day – no time for an hour workout, do 10 minutes, trust the process.”
Ria advises, “Portion control is a big issue. Eat slowly and listen to your body. If you are full, STOP EATING. It’s okay not to finish your plate! Drink more water and take it one day at a time.”
Ria’s journey is a testament to the power of determination, support, and the right program. If you’re inspired by her story and ready to make a change, contact Slender Wonder to find a doctor near you and begin your journey to a healthier, happier you.
