Jac’s Journey: From Declining Health to a New Lease of Life

For Jac, losing weight was never about vanity. It was about survival.

“My health was declining, I felt depressed, and had little energy. I’d often have to stop on walks because my body hurt so much. I was living with Rheumatoid Arthritis, Type 2 Diabetes controlled by diet, and full-on menopause symptoms. I thought this was just how my life would be from now on.” – Jac

At just 55, Jac struggled to get out of bed in the mornings because the pain in her feet and hips was unbearable. She felt trapped, embarrassed and ashamed. Even spending time outdoors with family became impossible.

Then came the turning point: a flight home from Edinburgh.

“When I realised the seatbelt only just fitted, I felt horrified. My eating was out of control, and I’d given up. But as soon as I landed, I called my Consultant, Charlie. I knew I had to change.”

 

Starting Plan with The 1:1 Diet

Jac went straight onto Step 1B – four nutritionally balanced products a day, personalised support, and no more confusion about what to eat.

“Within a week I started to feel free. The choice of food had been taken away and the relief was unbelievable. By week two, I knew my life had changed forever.”

Very quickly, her health began to improve:

  • Pain-free mornings – no more hip and foot pain

  • Better sleep – an average of 8 hours a night

  • Hot flushes gone – menopausal symptoms eased

  • Energy restored – jumping out of bed ready to start the day

 

Life-Changing Health Results

With support from Charlie, Jac stayed on Plan and the results speak for themselves:

  • Type 2 Diabetes reversed

  • Rheumatoid Arthritis in remission

  • Confidence regained – proud of how she looks and feels

Her GP and RA consultant are thrilled with her transformation, and Jac finally feels like herself again.

“Walking the dog is now a total pleasure instead of a painful chore. I can walk further, I don’t get out of breath, and I’ve even treated myself to Levi jeans – something I promised myself when I reached Step 3.” – Jac

The Consultant’s Perspective

Charlie, her Consultant, says:

“When Jac called me from the airport, I could hear the desperation in her voice. But she has followed the Plan to the letter and the results have been incredible. She’s not just lost weight – she’s gained back her confidence and her enthusiasm for life. Seeing her walk in wearing her new Levi jeans was the icing on the cake.”

 

A Happier, Healthier Future

Jac now enjoys meeting friends, having her photo taken, and living life to the full. She donates her old clothes to charity and says she’s never going back.

Her journey is proof of what’s possible with determination, the right support, and a proven plan that works.

With The 1:1 Diet, Jac didn’t just lose weight – she gained her life back.
