LIN Ramadan 2021

I love the plan

The menu was easy to follow and it did not disappoint at all. I lost some kgs those weeks even though i was not exercising consistently.

I started my weight loss journey February of this year and I lost significant amount of weight just working out and counting my Calories. I realised that working out was pretty easy after going through the initial soreness but where I suffered the most was my diet! First I set a calorie intake that was difficult to keep up. I went to bed hungry at times didnt have enough energy, I was also avoiding carbs and fat. It was so hard! After the Easter celebration in April and all the eating that happened , my mouth and tummy became completely uncontrolable. I decided to join the LIN Total blast challenge in May in an effort to get myself back on track. In the meal plan I had 3 meals plus veggie/fruit allowance daily. The meals were tasty and easy to prepare. Most important I was never hungry! There was 24/7 LIN support to get questions answered and cheer you on. To my surprise I lost 3.8kg in just 2 weeks ( challenge start weight 83.25kg down to 79.45kg) I also lost significant inches on my waistline and hips. Who would have thought it was possible to eat good food and lose weight! There was soup and swallow, rice, boli name it! I exercised during the program and even before but the difference was clear when I ate following the plan. I slept better, better bowel movement, I can go on.
I gained better understanding of meal portions, how to prepare regular meals that are tasty, filling without compromising my goals. I have decided that LINing is the easiest and most realistic way to reach my weight loss goal and then move on to maintaining. So many lessons learnt!

The plan was amazing !!! I lost almost 5Kg on the plan and you have breakfast, lunch and dinner with an allowance for snacks as well. It made me much more disciplined with food and also made me realise we don’t need to eat so much. bulking with veggies is the key !!

I enjoyed every bit of the foods in the plan. The plan gives you choices so you can repeat the plan or have two to three lunch and dinner options. It helped me curb my hunger so much that after week 1, I started eating only 2 meals per day. In total, I lost about 6kg with partial compliance. I can only imagine how much I would have lost if I was 100% compliant.
It is definitely a blast.

My absolutely favourite thing about LIN plans, education and learning how to eat in a SUSTAINABLE way.

I loved it!!! Lost 10lbs for the first time in a long time!! Hats off to you Ronke!! I have been a linner since I had my son in 2019 at my heaviest I was in the 200s. Now enjoying the 140s range.

Each meal on the plan were quite filling I found no reason to snack most of the time. I did not have a dip in energy whilst on the plan. Loved all the recipes I made (simple to follow and tasty) especially the Spinach boost
I learnt a a few things on this plan: 1. What my body could or couldn't cope with, e.g. the egg sandwich meal: bread does not agree with me. 2. The sugar I got from the fruit allowance was enough, no need for added sugar , no sugar highs or lows. 3. A valuable lesson is, given main ingredients of plantain and fish: coming up with a combination that would not exceed the specified number of calories with this task I found easy fillers with less calories e.g. broccoli.
I lost 4kg
I loved the plan so much I am doing it again.
