A St Albans mother has been crowned the 1:1 diet’s Slimmer of the Year, after losing more than 50 kilos.
With three children and menopause beginning, Vicky Vukadin found herself not happy with her size, and after a scare at the doctors, she knew she had to do something.
“I had extreme weight gain over my adult life, especially after having three children,” she said.
“I had a health issue, and when I spoke to my GP about it, he said that it was down to my weight, it was causing fluid retention in my legs … I knew I had to do something about it.”
Through the use of the 1:1 diet, Ms Vukadin started eating 800 calories a day and started to see rapid weight loss, but when things started to plateau, she turned to exercise and is now an avid daily walker.
“The weight melts off at the start, but it starts to slow down,” she said.
“I started to introduce walking slowly, I started at about three to four kilometres a day and progressed gradually to eight to 10 kilometres daily … I haven’t missed a day for over a year now.”
Starting at 128 kilos and now down to 76, Ms Vukadin is still on her health journey and encourages others to just get started.
