Do you know what you need to do to lose weight and
keep it off for good? Abby shares her secrets
for successful weight loss.
Who are you and what
do you do?
I’m Abby Allen from Alwoodley in Leeds,
where I noticed many of the local women
were losing weight and looking and feeling
great. My mum had taken some diet pills
called Aduki and lost a stone and a half, so
I had to get some. I noticed a gap in the
market for diet pills that actually worked
without nasty side effects.
I got some sample bottles from the
manufacturer and put pictures of the
scales recording my weight loss on
Facebook. My starting weight of 9.4
stones was going down each week; I got
to 8.12 stone (I’m now 8.4 stone) and that
was it. I was inundated with the mums
at school and practically the whole of the
north of Manchester, discussing my pills - I
had sold out in no time at all. I knew then
I had something that worked and people
loved them. I call it the Aduki diet.
Surely you can’t go from a size
16 to a size 12 in ten weeks?
Everyone is different. Larger people can
lose a stone easily in a month, whereas I
lost my first half-stone very quickly in four
weeks, and the last half-stone came off at
a slower, healthier rate of a pound a week.
Prior to Aduki I could not get below nine
stone. Like many people I love food and
have no willpower, and I hate dieting.
If you take Aduki along with a healthy diet,
yes you can easily drop two dress sizes or
a stone by taking one bottle. The tablets
do the work for you; you will lose interest
in food, feel fuller quicker and not crave
or enjoy sweet things like chocolate, as
the pills alter your tastebuds and thoughts
towards food. My passion for carbs and
chocolate disappeared and that change in
my diet kick-started the weight loss.
What’s the key to
a successful diet?
The experts will tell you that diet and
exercise are the only way to lose weight,
and yes that’s true for some people,
but most of us lead busy lives. Add kids
to the equation and it can then become
impossible. Don’t get me wrong, I love to
exercise because I feel better when I do
and my bottom looks far better toned than
saggy, but I certainly didn’t lose weight
from exercise alone.
I have no willpower at all so chocolate was
my major downfall. A lot of my clients eat
healthily but have a problem with portion
control – but not any more now that they are
on the Aduki diet supplements. Most people
eat the wrong foods or just eat too much
food; this is where the tablets really do the
work for you. You will find you will be eating
up to 40% less than you used to, so the
weight will come off at a nice healthy rate.
After four weeks of cutting down on chocolate and
carbs... It was like the fat was melting away, and I loved
buying a size 26” jeans without wearing my usual
27” jeans with my ‘muffin top’ spilling over.
You are what you eat?
True. After four weeks of cutting down
on chocolate and carbs (most days not
having any at all) I saw my stomach
becoming a lovely shape and the sides
being sucked in. It was like the fat was
melting away, and I loved buying a size
26” jeans without wearing my usual 27”
jeans with my ‘muffin top’ spilling over. I
always used the excuse to myself that I’d
had two kids, but I saw other women with
four kids who had a better figure than me.
Now I feel proud when I wear my bikini on
holiday and I now have the figure I had in
my early 20s, which is a miracle – I am 41
this year.
See if the Aduki is right for you.
