💚Andrew’s Story💚
“I have always found myself on the chubbier side. I exercised regularly, joined gyms, cycled, and walked miles every week, but I could never seem to lose the extra weight I carried, especially around my waist.
In late November 2025, my wife took me along to Ramsbottom Nutrition, and that’s where my journey began. I was sceptical at first, but I wanted to support her, so I went along. After listening to John Fielding explain his approach, I thought, “Nothing ventured, nothing gained,” and decided to give it a go.
I’m so glad I did.
The stubborn fat I’d carried for years has melted away, and I feel fitter and healthier than I can ever remember. What made the difference wasn’t just losing weight—it was learning how to fuel my body properly.
Previously, I thought skipping meals when I wasn’t hungry was a good idea. I’ve since learned that was a BIG mistake. Understanding the importance of balancing protein, carbohydrates, and fibre completely changed my approach to nutrition. I wasn’t eating enough protein and was relying too heavily on carbohydrates, which left me constantly hungry and reaching for crisps, chocolate, biscuits, and cakes throughout the day. All the hard work I was doing in the gym was being undermined by my eating habits.
With John’s guidance and the support of the amazing Ramsbottom Nutrition community, I’ve learned a completely new way of eating. My day starts with a protein shake, Aloe Vera and herbal tea, followed by regular protein-based meals and snacks every three hours. Even when I don’t feel hungry, I fuel my body properly. The result is that I stay full throughout the day, my cravings have disappeared, and I simply feel so much better.
The changes go far beyond the scales:
• Weight loss: 2 stone 2lb
• Body fat reduction: 9.3%
• Hydration increase: 7%
• Metabolic age reduced by: 26 years
• Visceral fat reduced by: 5 levels
• Total measurements lost: 69cm
What makes me most proud is the improvement in my health. At my recent annual medical, including blood tests, the nurse was amazed by the transformation. My BMI is now in a healthy range for the first time in years.
Most importantly, my triglyceride levels, which had previously been so high that my doctor was discussing putting me on statins, have plummeted into a healthy range. No statins required.
This has been an incredible journey, and one that I could not have achieved without the support, guidance, and mentoring from John Fielding and the fantastic community at Ramsbottom Nutrition.
Thank you for helping me become a healthier, happier version of myself.”
