Testimonials

Munchwize Dietitians, I write this to you, to tell you how your nutrition process is actually life changing.

I would like to thank you for the most professional way in which you have consulted during this process and how happy I am with the results achieved.

At first, I was skeptical and thought that in order to live a healthy lifestyle , it would be painstakingly difficult to change the habits of many years. This is absolutely not the way it has panned out and by eating ‘properly’ for the past 6 to 8 weeks, exercising in the correct manner - I have lost well over 10 kilos, over 8cm in my waist and look forward to my assessment on Monday to see further improvement.

Now it is second nature and I can still eat all the foods that I really enjoy – however, now in moderation and with more frequency.

I look forward to training in the gym in the mornings and get out of bed happily at 6a.m., because I have found a new meaning to life. My training is so much more effective and comprehensive.

Probably the most important thing you have given me is focus and that once you put your mind to it, barriers can easily be overcome.

The other big positive is what it does for ones own self-esteem. Everyone I come in to contact with remarks as to the change and I am so privileged to have met you and be on your amazing programme.

I look forward to a continued relationship and can more than ‘highly’ recommend you and what you have achieved in such a short space of time !!!!

Warm Regards, Selwyn.

I accepted a challenge to run the Comrades Marathon, and yes, there was an element of liquid courage involved. I knew that training would make up the bulk of my preparation, but what about my diet? Surely all the training would require a dietary regime that would allow me to drop the excess weight while retaining and even building my muscle mass.

As the hangover faded and the stark reality of the challenge set in, I decided to phone a friend. I've known Sarah at Munchwize for many years, she was a delight to work with, knowledgeable, kind, compassionate and above all sincere in her desire to help. Something Sarah helped me realise is that there's nothing fancy about eating right. No miracle pill or shake, just regular food and a mindful eater.

My biggest breakthrough with her was around the psychology of food and being aware of my level of hunger at all times. I'm glad to report that with her assistance I've hit all my weight goals and I'm looking forward to running my first Comrades in May. Thanks to Sarah, I'm not only lean, but also more aware of my complicated relationship with food. I would highly recommend Sarah and Munchwize, I found the experience to be very rewarding.

Dearest Sarah...

Where or how do we even begin to thank you for the manner in which you looked after our precious husband and farther. On days when he was at his lowest of low, you still showed hi compassion, care and unconditional love. We are eternally grateful to you for the manner in which you treated him, with dignity and grace. Thank you for supporting us as a family as well and for making each day a little more bearable and for giving such a positive atmosphere in which Mr de Jager could recover and get well. There were times when things did not seem as though they would improve, but thanks to you and the other medical staff at Life Kingsbury, you showed Mr de Jager what support really was to him through the most difficult time of his life. Nothing was ever too much for you and you left nothing to chance. Thank you for keeping hi positive and for making things better when they seemed hopeless. We cannot thank you enough for what you have done. You were always a ray of sunshine during the deepest, darkest times.

We hope other patients appreciate you as much as we do.

All our love the de Jager Family

When I turned 45, my birthday gift to myself was sessions with Sarah. She came highly recommended by a friend and I realised I had to take my diet in hand to get into better shape for my health, particularly with menopause looming. As a pescetarian I was also very bored with my food. It sounds silly, but Sarah showed me how to eat properly. I thought I had been doing pretty well, but what she taught me was eye-opening. Sarah gently pointed out my bad habits and showed me how to replace them with good ones. I choose to see Sarah monthly as it is the best way for me to keep on track. I love the reports she generates which illustrate my progress - not just weight, but other health measurements too - and she is always  realistic, supportive and encouraging. I have a new, healthier approach to food and feel so much more educated about and in control of my health.
Thanks Sarah! 

My journey with Sarah at Munchwize started in June 2019.  I was at a turning point of my life, with stress, weight, and being unfit which made me decide to take drastic measures to turn it all around.  I quit my corporate job, joined up with Sarah, at Munchwize on the Optifast programme ( Intensive Phase for 3 months) and started exercising regularly.

Sarah at Munchwize, started a journey with me, and included a plan that one can easily maintain.  To make the shakes takes seconds, same with the soups.  The bars are also quick to pack and eat if you are busy and on the run. So this programme really can work for even those with hectic lifestyle with little time to cook or prepare. 

I highly recommend Sarah Gouws and the Munchwize team and the Optifast plan really does work.  I have lost 22 kg in 4 months and the weight staying off.  Anytime you do go off the rails, just follow the intensive phase to drop a kg or 2 when needed.

Thanks and regards
