When Kiwi mum Lynda decided it was time to embrace a healthier lifestyle, she was overweight, unfit and in constant pain from an inflammatory disorder.
She signed up with Fresh Start by My Food Bag 18 months ago, and within six months, she had shed 28kg. “I was really surprised, and obviously very pleased that I started to lose weight straight way,” she says. “After a few weeks I found I had more energy, especially to run around after our two small grandsons.”
Fresh Start offers Kiwis the opportunity to embark on a journey of health and wellbeing without the hassle of meal planning and calorie counting.
The locally sourced and nutritionist-approved meal kits include all the necessary ingredients plus comprehensive, easy-to-follow recipes.
The plan is available in five options: Calorie-Controlled, Quick & Easy, Vege & Plant Based, Low Carb, and the new Mediterranean option, which is based on the traditional Mediterranean way of eating.
There are also options for the number of people (one to four), and the number of nights (three to five).
“Fresh Start meals are completely different from our previous way of eating,” says Lynda. “I no longer use bottled sauces or processed food. I have learned how to cook fresh, tasty food just by following the recipes.”
The healthier lifestyle inspired by Fresh Start encouraged Lynda to embark on a new fitness regime. “Losing weight and eating healthier meals has given me more energy and I can now comfortably do at least one 40-minute walk every day,” she says. “I often do more than that.”
She’s been able to maintain her weight loss by continuing to eat Fresh Start, she says, and uses that way of eating to inspire her meals. And there was an added bonus. “Losing so much weight meant that nothing in my wardrobe fitted any longer.
I had gone from a size 18-20 to a size 10, so I started a wonderful shopping spree!”
