Not too long ago, apple cider vinegar has been credited with
curing everything from the flu to warts. Many of its benefits
are unproven, but some experts think that adding a little of this
sour liquid to your life may indeed have some health benefits.
Apple cider vinegar is a fermented liquid made from apples.
Apple Cider Vinegar and Weight Loss
A study to test if apple cider vinegar will assist in weight loss
was done in Japan. In the study, 175 obese but healthy people
took either vinegar or water daily for 12 weeks. Their diets
were similar and they kept food journals. At the end of the
study, those who used vinegar had lost slightly more weight.
On average, the vinegar group lost ½ - 1 kg over the 3-month
period. The researchers suggest that the vinegar may turn on
certain genes involved in breaking down fats.

Dilute 1 to 2 tablespoons in a big glass of water, and sip it
along with your meals.

Make a salad dressing with apple cider vinegar. Use 2
tbsp. (30ml) of apple cider vinegar and mix the vinegar
with fresh herbs e.g. basil or oreganum, lemon juice and a
clove of garlic in a food processor.
Apple Cider Vinegar and Blood Sugar
Furthermore, apple cider vinegar does appear to help with
blood sugar control.
Apple cider vinegar has an anti-glycemic effect and blocks
some of the digestion of starch.
However, if you are on medication for diabetes, you shouldn't
stop taking it and substitute vinegar.
Tips on Taking Apple Cider Vinegar
Don't drink apple cider vinegar straight - the acidity could
harm your tooth enamel.

“Joining the Slender Wonder Team was one of the best
decisions I could have ever made. In 2014 I was
welcomed into a small, but efficient family that has high
working standards.
Changing your career isn't easy as everything is new
and you are challenged like myself to step up and be
open to the evolving world. At first I couldn't believe that
it takes only handful of people to deal with so many daily
tasks and then still execute them so well.
I would like to thank our director Riaan Jacobs, he is
truly someone I look up to. He is kind hearted toward
his employees. Thank you for all your guidance and
knowledge you impart unto us. Bernice, you are our
office “Mamma”, Bernice takes charge of everything
with such ease, your work ethics and high standards
truly inspire me to do better.
I am truly blessed to have joined a team with high
standards who enjoy what they do and who I spend
most of my day to day time with. I smile as I am truly
happy where I find myself.
Slender Wonder – a team and a family!
I started off doing small office tasks for the director like
letters to our Doctors, providing information to new

I've been on Slender Wonder Since 21Jan'14.
By
October, I had lost 40kg and felt very satisfied with myself
but very slowly started gaining, as I got a bit slack. Before
the December holiday I weighed 75.4kg. And then came
December, and I got totally into the holiday spirit and went
a little bit overboard in the process.
In January this year I went back to doctor Sharon, and I
I have been on Slender Wonder for thirteen months & I
have lost 75 kilograms my start weight was 231kg's
and I am now 156kg's. I also started used to wear a 9
XL shirt and I am now down to a 4 XL.
My pants size used to be a 62 and now I fit in a size 46
and I am still going strong. Slender Wonder truly
changed my life not only in the way I perceive life but
also the way I live my life, I see things differently, I enjoy
my life thoroughly. There is no more bondage, I always
say: obesity is a bondage.
My daughter was born during my Slender Wonder
journey and she is three months old already and by the
time she is old enough to look at photos she will not
believe that “the man” in the photo was her dad.
I will continue to live a healthy lifestyle and with the
support of Slender Wonder I will make it happen and
lead a strong and healthy life for myself as well as my
family.
I believe Slender Wonder is the best lifestyle
programme on the market and in the world.
Blessings
Dawid
had picked up 3.2kg. She suggested that I go back on to
Simeon B straight away.
I then had the privilege to attend the Slender Wonder
Parklands Life Hospital Challenge Launch and this was
just what I needed to get me fired up again. As I listened
to doctor Sharon's presentation, I just realized anew that
this is a winning formula and that I had to get back on track
and soon.
I decided to set myself a new goal. I want to weigh 65
kilograms. That makes it approximately 1 kilogram per
week for the next 13 weeks. I am going to do everything in
my power to get to this goal of 65 kilograms – then I can
start the process of maintaining it for the rest of my life.
Since I have lost all this weight, I am much more active
than before. I do regular exercise, i.e. step-aerobics,
walking, rebounding and free weights. I participated in
the Johnson Crane Fun Run – my first ever race, which I
found extremely liberating. I could join other people, and
wear ski-pants, without having to cover myself in a sheet
because I felt too ashamed to appear in public. I could
even keep up with my husband, which has never been the
case before. We have now joined the Ebotse Park Run
for the weekly 5km walk/run on Saturday mornings and I
am slowly going to try and move on to bigger events. But
baby steps first.
I am extremely motivated at the moment, and very
determined to make a success of this new goal. Slender
Wonder has made such a big difference in my life, and I
cannot stress enough just how well it works, provided you
follow the guidelines and rules.
To me this is the Ultimate Weight Loss Programme.
Stay healthy!

Buying in bulk
It can be a big temptation to choose a supersize bag of
something at the supermarket just because it is “on
special” or to “save money” or to keep it for “guests” or
“special occasions”, right?
It is almost impossible to resist the temptation to take a
handful here and there. Stick to buying when, what and in
the quantities you need, when you are on a weight loss
diet.
SlenderWonderSimeonBShoppingList
Shopping on an empty stomach
Finding time to do grocery shopping can be challenging
and tempting –but do yourself a favour and have a piece
of fruit as part of you snack and daily allowance before
you enter the shop. Alternatively do shopping after an
actual meal or ask someone else to do the shopping. If
you shop on an empty stomach, blood glucose is likely to
be low and it will be more difficult to stay focused.
No shopping list
You are more likely to purchase things you do not need if
you do not have a shopping list. The noise, colours,
samples and smells all take your attention away from the
task at hand. Using a list means your fridge is stocked and
ready to go.

We offer the PyruVite supplement as part of the Slender
Wo n d e r We i g h t L o s s P r o g r a m m e . P y r u v a t e a n d
Wonderzyme form the base of the PyruVite supplement and
have been proven to speed up weight loss.
What is Pyruvate?
It is a substance that naturally occurs in the human body and
forms the basis of the Kreb Cycle. The Kreb Cycle refers to the
process of glycogen conversion to energy. In the simplest
form it refers to the way the body burns starch and sugar.
Through the addition of Pyruvate to the body, the cellular
respiration process is improved and this helps to promote fat
absorption and thus to reduce the amount of fat deposited.
Explained in another way - it is the molecule that’s left after the
glycose has been broken down in the cell. This is then further
broken down to enter the aerobic respiration system or it can
be changed through a process of fermentation into lactic acid.
It is classified as a three-carbon Ketone or Keto Acid, which is
the end-result of glycolysis.
Glycolysis is nothing other than the breakdown of sugar. Once
at this stage it can be changed to lactase or acetyl CoA. In the
simplest possible explanation – Pyruvate is created through
the sugar metabolism process.
The benefits of adding our PyruVite to your daily supplements
if you want to lose weight are numerous including the
reduction of mood and energy swings and enhancing the level
of oxygen that the cells get. It also helps to reduce food
cravings. With more oxygen delivered to the cells, the body
performs better and you experience clarity of mind.
Page 2 - www.slenderwonder.co.za
Our supplement also contains Vitamins B1, B2, B5, B6 and
B12. The B vitamins are known for their ability to relieve stress
and anxiety, treat depression, improve memory, reduce the
symptoms of PMS and reduce heart disease risks. In
addition, some of the Vitamin B’s help to burn fat while also
improving energy levels and repairing damaged DNA.
Slender Wonder Weight Loss Programme
Essential supplements such as PyruVite containing Pyruvate
and B vitamins form part of the Slender Wonder Weight Loss
Programme. This is to ensure that your body gets the required
nutritional support during the process and to aid in fat burning,
hunger craving management and balancing of the nutritional
profile of the body. As part of this medically approved
programme, only available from accredited doctors
throughout the country, we prescribe a healthy GI eating and
exercise plan as well as a series of Leptin injections.
The Leptin injections are needed to help restore the Leptin
level in the body. When the level is too low, the body keeps on
storing fat and tells the brain that it is hungry. By restoring the
balance, we help you to see drastic weight loss results. The
programme is prescribed by over 200 doctors and is
exceptionally safe. We provide you with ongoing emotional,
motivational and informational support throughout the
process ensuring that you will experience long-term results,
better health and regain control over your weight
management.
View our full product list and more information about the
programme or use the Doctor locator to find a doctor near you
that offers the programme.

KFC
South Africans love their fast-food, so much so that we’ve eaten
our way to becoming one of the most obese nations in the
world.The Lancet issued research by the Global Burden of
Disease in 2014 listing the obesity ratings of 188 countries
across the globe – and South Africa ranked highly, as one of the
most obese nations.
Fast food, fatty meals
One of the most commonly cited reasons for South African’s
growing obesity problem is the ‘westernisation’ and urbanisation
of the population. Fast-paced urban lifestyles don’t leave much
room for physical activity, and increasingly put people into
contact with fast-food, which often carries high fat, sugar and salt
content. While bodies vary, based on normal BMI the average
man should ingest around 2,400 Calories (or kilocalories) a day,
and the average woman around 2,000 Calories. These meals
listed below are the most fattening items from a number of
popular South African fast-food chains which, in some cases,
could fill the recommended daily intake (RDI) quota in one meal.
According to the research report, 38.8% of all men over the age
of 20 are considered overweight and obese – of these, 13.5%
are categorised as obese. For women, the figures are even
worse – with 69.3% of women over the age of 20 considered
overweight and obese, of which 42% obese. While these are not
the highest stats in the world (an ‘honour’ which belongs to
nations such as the USA, and Mexico) this does make South
Africa by far the fattest country in Sub-Saharan Africa.
BusinessTech counts the calories of some of South Africa’s most
loved fast-food meals.

KFC’s Wicked Zinger box meal comes packed with a burger,
Zinger wings, chips, mash and a coke. It is the heaviest meal
for one on offer, if you can accept that no single person can
finish a 3,665 Calorie 21-piece bucket all on their own.
New old-comer to South Africa’s fast-food scene, Burger King
had people literally queuing for hours to get their hands on its
Whopper burger. Of course, it’s the chain’s Big King XXL
burger meal – packing 955 Calories for the burger alonewhich takes the prize.

Family-favourite, Wimpy has many high-calorie meals that
exceed the double bacon and cheese burger, but grills and
steaks are more for sit-in than fast-food take-away.

Hawaiian-themed and health-focused Kauai offers many

While the famed King Steer Burger (at 655 Calories), the
chain’s double rack of ribs and medium chips menu option
dethrones it as the heaviest offer.

Nando’s, with its flame-grilled chicken is often touted as the
healthier route to the deep-fried delights of KFC – but its halfchicken and wedges meal (up-sized of course), still packs a
punch.
McDonald’s has received massive criticism for its high-fat
meals over the years – and rightly so. The company’s biggest
bite in South Africa takes the shape of a 865 Calorie McFeast
Deluxe burger. Slap on the super-size chips and soda, and
we’re looking at a 2,000 Calorie meal.
Roman’s Pizza is a popular pizza take-out spot thanks in
large part to its double-pizza prices. The chain sells its pizzas
in twos, with both thin and thick base options. Technically you
could double the information below, if you ate both pizzas on
your own.

It should come as no surprise that a pizza chain would take
the top spot on this list – particularly when that pizza chain is
Debonairs, which offers stuffed crusts, sausage-stuffed bases
and, yes, the triple stack pizza.
While not technically a fast-food chain, Cinnabon has made a
name for itself as being one of the heaviest pieces of doughy
heaven you could ingest. One Cinnabon measures roughly
the size of a fist, and accounts for half your RDI.

Are you a diabetic desperately struggling to lose weight? Have you
tried just about every diet under the sun and with no success, are at a
loss at what to try next? If you are in desperate need of a weight loss
plan, then we at Slender Wonder can help you with an incredible
product that is perfect for diabetics – Magnetine!
With summer on our doorstep, now is the perfect time to start
thinking about getting that bikini body back, and just when you
probably thought you had lost the war against those unsightly
rolls around your tummy, arms and back, we are here to offer
you a weight loss solution that has been scientifically proven
to work!
The Scientific Facts about Weight Loss
Slender Wonder is a proven medical weight loss brand that
was developed by a South African doctor, Dr Jan Botha 40
years ago. Interestingly, what most dieters fail to realise is that
over the past four decades, medical science has proven that
weight loss is not as straightforward as just exercising three
times a week and eating less food.
Some of the weight loss products forming part of our
programme, and which you can also purchase separately, are
briefly introduced below.
Protein Plus Shake
To understand this in a little more depth, you have to
recognise that the human body is controlled by intricate
regulator systems that manipulate the appetite, metabolism,
weight loss and weight gain. What this means is that all these
particular functions need to be observed and managed
together when trying to lose weight.
Using scientifically proven principles to ensure rapid yet safe
weight loss, Slender Wonder is an effective programme that
not only treats the cause of weight gain, but it also treats the
Page 2 - www.slenderwonder.co.za
actual symptoms. Slender Wonder is basically a weight loss
programme that aims to control Leptin to increase weight loss,
and has over the years created a long list of products, such as
Magnetine.
What is Magnetine?
Magnetine is an incredible weight loss and insulin regulator
product that contains high doses of the mineral magnesium
and the amino acid L-carnitine. Magnesium is not only proven
for playing a vital role in the Krebs cycle (the process of
converting glycogen to energy), which is responsible for
boosting the fat burning mechanism of the body, but it is also
well-known for the production and release of insulin, which
makes it an excellent product for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics.
L-carnitine is an incredible amino acid – basically, the more Lcarnitine you have in the body, the faster the fat moves, which
means that more fat is burnt for energy. An excellent
metabolism regulator, L-carnitine also helps the body break
down fat and convert it into muscle. Furthermore, it helps to
control ketone levels in the blood.
Magnetine is not just an excellent product for those struggling
with weight loss, but it is also probably one of the most
beneficial products on the market for those struggling with
Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. To learn more or to order
Magnetine NOW, contact us through our website or contact a
Slender Wonder accredited doctor near you today!

Apple Crumpets

1 Egg, plus the white of another egg

2 Crackerbread

10 ml (2 tsp) sweetener

100g Apple

A Pinch of salt

½ tsp Cinnamon
Make apple mousse by peeling and coring the apple.
Microwave on "high” for 5 minutes in a little water or on the
stove top in a pot – but this option takes a little bit longer.

Mash the apple until it looks like Purity.

Crumb the crackerbread.

Beat the egg, salt and sweetener together.

Add the Crackerbread crumbs.

Add the apple to the rest of the ingredients.
Place spoons full of the mixture in a frying pan with Sprayand-Cook. Bake the crumpets on both sides until they are
brown and cooked. Keep the heat on "medium" to prevent
them from burning, and from being raw and the inside and
burnt on the outside.
This menu covers your protein, and your starch and your fruit,
so you still have to add your veggies to make a complete
Slender Wonder Meal, therefore I added some tomato and
cucumber.
Page 22 - www.slenderwonder.co.za
Savoury Rice

I took cauliflower, chopped it up in the food processor,
placed it in a big sieve and placed it over boiling water,
steaming it until done.

In the meantime I chopped up some tomato, onion and
baby marrow very finely (for some colour) and fried it in a
pan sprayed with spray & cook .

I then mixed the cauliflower with the veggies and added a
little bit of the marinade just for a bit of extra flavour. I
grilled the prawns in the airfryer for two and a half minutes
on 200˚ and voila! "Slender Wonder Grilled Prawns on a
bed of Savoury Rice".
Are there any STIMULANTS in the supplements?
Answer: None
Will I have to continue using the supplements when I've
reached my goal weight?

(please consult your Physician if you have any doubts)- See
testimonials
What if I travel /eat out a lot?
Answer: we will give you solutions and suggestions – it's
about choices.
Will I ever be able to eat 'normally' again?
Answer: Yes, within certain limitations..
What if I 'cheat'?
Answer: You will slow down the weight-loss, however, once
you get back onto the plan, you will start losing again.
How does this plan differ from all the others?
Answer: The underlying cause of overweight is being treated
and this leads to DEEP LASTING CHANGE.
Can i use SW while i am breastfeeding?
Answer: Breastfeeding patients can do the programme; they
must not do the detox phase and no Herbaboost should be
taken as the possible effects of these herbs may have on
infants have not been properly researched.
All other supplements (except Lipo-Lite Drops) are safe to use
during breastfeeding. Slender Wonder's official stance is to
rather not initiate the programme during the first three months
after birth – apart from possible medical reasons this is to give
mother and baby time to bond and not to place unnecessary
stress on the mother during this critical developmental phase.
Do I have to buy 'special foods'?
Answer: No, it's normal food that you can buy at normal
grocery stores.
Do I have to cook separately for me and the rest of my
family?
Answer: No, not necessarily. They can all benefit from eating
more healthily! - it's really GOOD FOOD!

Protein Plus Shake
This shake is a new, advanced combination of revolutionary nutritional developments to
reduce body fat and maintain lean muscle tissue. This complete meal replacement shake
delivers a variety of high quality protein substrates to improve both protein synthesis and
overall health.
Prime Lipoic Acid
Prime Lipoic Acid is a unique formulation known as the Super Universal Antioxidant, able to
deactivate fat- and water-soluble free radicals and other cell-damaging elements by roaming
the whole body.
Herbaboost (Fat burn)
This is the most advanced fat burning formulation. It contains powerful thermogenic
elements, metabolic enhancers, detoxifying agents and essential amino acids for highly
successful fat loss. Herbaboost is stimulant-free and natural, with no known side-effects. The
combination of herbal extracts and amino acids has shown to be extremely effective in
stimulating rapid reductions in body fat and immediate increase in physical strength and
energy. It also acts as a powerful anti-catabolic formula, which builds muscle while reducing
body fat fast, and has shown to be very effective for appetite control.
Wonder Cleanze
Many people are prone to constipation and this can worsen the moment you go on a strict
eating plan. Easy Cleanze contains aloe, which is a natural laxative as well as ginger root,
which revlieves cramps and bloating.
Pyruvite
Pyruvate represents an exciting breakthrough in weight management. PyruVite (Pyruvate +
Wonderzyme) Pyruvate: is the stable salt form of pyruvic acid and has undergone more than
25 years of clinical research for its effectiveness on fat loss, weight loss, endurance and
overall safety when used as a dietary supplement. Pyruvate has also been shown to promote
fat consumption instead of glucose which helps decrease fat deposits.
KL Cleanze
This cleansing syrup helps the body to get rid of all the free radicals and other toxins in the
kidneys and liver which slow down weight loss. Some of the important ingredients are Green
Tea, Co-enzyme Q10, Quericitrin, Selenium and Vitamin C.
Omega 3 & 6 (Fat Flush)
This contains Omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids derived from salmon and borage oils of
the highest quality. These fatty acids have numerous advantages that focus on improving
overall health and well-being during weight loss.
Lipo Lite Oral Drops
Lipo-Lite is to be used only as an addition to the Slender Wonder Program, never as an
alternative or replacement of the injection fluid. It may be used together with the injection or
on its own while following the Moderate Plan
Magnetine
Magnesium plays an important role in the kreb cycle, thereby enhancing the fat burning
mechanism of the body. The most important ingredient in this product is an amino acid called
L-Carnitine. The more carnitine available, the faster fat is transported and the more fat is
utilized for energy. Carnitine also helps the body break down muscles when necessary and it
controls ketone levels in the blood.
Aqua Cherry
This product has numerous properties that assist in weight loss when following a balanced
diet and daily exercise. Not only does it help in weight loss, it also contains multiple
antioxidants. This product is best drunk throughout the day, in between meals. Dosage: 2.5g
in 500ml water.
CLA
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) inhibits the body's mechanism for storing fat and directs the
body to burn fat reserves for energy. This “wonder nutrient” has also shown to inhibit the
process that is responsible for the depositing of fat in the body.
3 in 1 (Triple Slim)
Weight loss requires important lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise. This product
aims to assist in weight loss by:
 Increasing satiety,
 Inhibiting fat synthesis as well as storage thereof
 Inhibits the digestion of carbohydrates.

Wonderzyme form the base of the PyruVite supplement and
have been proven to speed up weight loss.
What is Pyruvate?
It is a substance that naturally occurs in the human body and
forms the basis of the Kreb Cycle. The Kreb Cycle refers to the
process of glycogen conversion to energy. In the simplest
form it refers to the way the body burns starch and sugar.
Through the addition of Pyruvate to the body, the cellular
respiration process is improved and this helps to promote fat
absorption and thus to reduce the amount of fat deposited.
Explained in another way - it is the molecule that’s left after the
glycose has been broken down in the cell. This is then further
broken down to enter the aerobic respiration system or it can
be changed through a process of fermentation into lactic acid.
It is classified as a three-carbon Ketone or Keto Acid, which is
the end-result of glycolysis.
Glycolysis is nothing other than the breakdown of sugar. Once
at this stage it can be changed to lactase or acetyl CoA. In the
simplest possible explanation – Pyruvate is created through
the sugar metabolism process.
The benefits of adding our PyruVite to your daily supplements
if you want to lose weight are numerous including the
reduction of mood and energy swings and enhancing the level
of oxygen that the cells get. It also helps to reduce food
cravings. With more oxygen delivered to the cells, the body
performs better and you experience clarity of mind.
Page 28 - www.slenderwonder.co.za
Our supplement also contains Vitamins B1, B2, B5, B6 and
B12. The B vitamins are known for their ability to relieve stress
and anxiety, treat depression, improve memory, reduce the
symptoms of PMS and reduce heart disease risks. In
addition, some of the Vitamin B’s help to burn fat while also
improving energy levels and repairing damaged DNA.
Slender Wonder Weight Loss Programme
Essential supplements such as PyruVite containing Pyruvate
and B vitamins form part of the Slender Wonder Weight Loss
Programme. This is to ensure that your body gets the required
nutritional support during the process and to aid in fat burning,
hunger craving management and balancing of the nutritional
profile of the body. As part of this medically approved
programme, only available from accredited doctors
throughout the country, we prescribe a healthy GI eating and
exercise plan as well as a series of Leptin injections.
The Leptin injections are needed to help restore the Leptin
level in the body. When the level is too low, the body keeps on
storing fat and tells the brain that it is hungry. By restoring the
balance, we help you to see drastic weight loss results. The
programme is prescribed by over 200 doctors and is
exceptionally safe. We provide you with ongoing emotional,
motivational and informational support throughout the
process ensuring that you will experience long-term results,
better health and regain control over your weight
management.

programme or use the Doctor locator to find a doctor near you
that offers the programme.

In this edition of Slender Success our doctor in the spotlight is Dr Gerda Scholtz. Dr
Scholtz practices at the NHC Clinic in Honeydew however she was born in Cape Town,
but grew up in the Free- State where she went to Medical School. After working in
Windsor in the UK and living in Edinburgh, Scotland, they settled in Johannesburg where
she commenced with General Medical Practice, as well as Slender Wonder. She has been
doing Slender Wonder for 18 years of which the last 2 years were full time. She says :" I
am blessed with a great husband, Danie and a precious, talented daughter, Lize-li.
Who are your current success stories?
There are so many wonderful stories, but I'll name a
few of the present success stories:
Pat Pieterse, 50 years old with Diabetes and high
cholesterol, has managed to stop one of her Diabetic
treatments and have halved the dose of the remainder.
Her cholesterol treatment was also halved after she
has lost almost 29 kilograms.
Melissa Grebe, 28 years old, started during the festive
season and has lost 22.2 kilograms up to date.
Sarah Jones,30 years old, is now on 24 kilograms
down from when she started and is almost on goal.
Our male patients are even more successful!
Why did you decide to become a Slender Wonder
doctor?
I come from a genetic background of Diabetes and
heart disease and was also looking for a medical way
for my own patients to lose weight. Since Slender
Wonder is a medical weight loss programme, reliable
and always staying up to date with the latest research
(our medical director travelled to the USA again last
year and brought back all the latest information), I felt
comfortable enough to introduce it into my practice.
After 18 years, I can honestly say that I am still
impressed.
Page 48 - www.slenderwonder.co.za
Twice in a row I was awarded the "Slender Wonder Top
Doctor's Award" due to my wonderful and successful
patients as well as Gail Miller, my very capable practice
manager.
Do you specialise in any other medical fields?
I have been in general medical practice for 16 years but
because there is such a big need, that I am now full
time involved in Slender Wonder. Overweight and
related problems are taking over at a rapid speed and
we are fast becoming one of the most obese countries
in the world. I have a female colleague attending to my
medical practice's patients on a full time basis.
What are your hobbies?
I love running, I do fencing, latin and ball Room dancing.
We also love travelling. As a family, we try to stay active
and when we travel, we always try and participate in
local races and events, e.g. a race in Hawaii last year
and in Dubai in January. I also have a saxophone, but
that is now starting to collect dust, I am ashamed to
confess!
What advice do you have for new patients
considering the Slender Wonder programme?
Do not postpone! Make that booking! Just know that
there are many others out there in exactly the same
boat. The sooner you start, the sooner you will reach
goal. Most patients express the regret of not starting
earlier.
You cannot have something different, if you are not
prepared to do something different. God gave you a
wonderful body, but He gave it to you once. What you
do with it, will determine how you grow old. There are
no spare parts for it. Health is precious. It gives quality
of life. You cannot control a lot of things, but you can
control what you put into your mouth.
Your favourite quote?
Don't dream about it. WORK for it!!
How many patients have you approximately
treated with the Slender Wonder programme?
Over a period of 18 years, probably about 50 000
patients.
Advice for current Slender Wonder patients?
It is not the exception that gets you into trouble, it is the
rule. It is not what you eat from Christmas to New Year,
it is what you eat from New Year to Christmas.
Commit to doing maintenance. Lost weight may never
be picked up again. Make sure you empower yourself
to achieve that. If you eat what you ate before, you will
weigh what you have weighed before! Your doctor has
to teach you how to cheat.
