Dear reader,

As always thank you for choosing Slender Wonder as your trusted weight

In this edition we have yet again interviewed patients who have lost weight,

improved their lives and completely transformed their bodies. May their

stories inspire you to stay motivated on your weight loss journey.

We have also shared a few new recipes with you and would like to remind

you that both Slender Wonder recipe books can be bought from your

Slender Wonder doctor.

Furthermore we wish you well on your Slender Wonder journey during

12 weeks ago 18 contestants entered the Parklands Life

Hospital Slender Wonder weight loss challenge in

conjunction with East Rand Stereo & Breezology.

Doctor Sharon Lion-Cachet was the representing

Slender Wonder doctor and she shared her experience

below.

It was my great privilege to be involved in the 2015 Life

Springs Parkland Clinic Slender Wonder Challenge run

in combination with 93.9 FM East Rand Stereo and

Breezology. The challenge was taken on by 18 hospital

staff members and was launched on 29th of January at

Parkland Clinic. A day of interviews had been conducted

before the launch to screen the potential participants. 18

participants were selected. At the launch a full

presentation of the Slender Wonder Programme was

given by myself outlining the different phases of the

programme. Henry Bruinette and Angeline Morakoane

as well as Hantie Jansen Van Vuuren from 93.9 FM East

Rand Stereo attended the launch. Henry kept the

audience smiling with his sense of humour. Riaan

Jacobs MD of Slender Wonder welcomed the

participants and encouraged them with humour and

style. Dawid Boshoff (loss 83kg and still losing) and

Nikki Van Wyk (loss 38kg) shared their personal stories

and were a great source of inspiration for the new group.

Yolandi van Wyk did an amazing job managing the

marketing and social media aspects of the challenge.

Each participant had to participate in daily posts on the

Facebook page dedicated to the challenge, as well as

support each other on the Parkland's Challenge

Whatsapp group. This gave them the opportunity to

share the journey- good and hard days- as well as ask

questions about the programme. They shared ideas,

recipes and tips and it was a great source of support.

Participants were weighed every 14 days at the hospital

and given their boosters and new products at each of

these weigh ins for the duration of the 3 month

challenge. The excitement on the hospital was tangible

on these Wednesday mornings! The competition was

tight and the challenge was on!!

The Breakfast show with Henry and Angeline kept the

public updated and there were many interviews with

doctors, previous successful patients as well as stories

of inspiration. The final weigh in was very close and we

were able to see the participants fading away every 2

weeks!

Our final prize giving was held at Life Springs Parkland

Clinic on May 6th 2015 and the results were as follows-

1st Magdalena Davids 18.5kg

2nd Jacques Van Heerden 18.0kg

3rd Janine Van der Merwe 15.8kg

4th Dr Brenda Watson 14.2kg

5th Zanette Van Heerden 13.5kg

6th Zenobia Mertsch 13.4kg

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!

Sarah PowellTestimonial

Sarah Powell decided enough was enough at the

beginning of September 2014. She had, had enough of the

fat jokes, the ridicule, the embarrassment of her clothes not

fitting her the way they should and enough of her internal

battle with food.

Sarah shares her Slender Wonder story with us.

If you know me ... you know I love food. My husband says I

am the reason he gets fat, “coz I cook soooo good!” I was

always in the kitchen whipping up something yummy

experimenting with different flavours and pretending to be

a chef. I loved to cook soul nurturing food but at the same

time destroying my body with the very thing that made me

“happy” or so I thought – I wouldn't say I was a comfort /

stress eater... I just LOVE food.

My turning point was when that song from Meghan Trainor

came out - “All about that bass” – I adopted this as “my

anthem” “my ode to “chubby girls” I started to reside to the

fact that I will always be fat and I started to convince myself

that, it was ok to be this way and to look like this. I made

excuses not to go to the gym and pushed the blame

everywhere else but on to myself... how sad, I had to blame

others for my own faults...tut tut tut!

I found myself eating pies, sweets and chocolates during

the day (not telling hubby) or stopping at McDonalds for

burgers and telling myself that its ok, I am on the road, I am

a rep, this is what reps do and then going home in the

evening and making a carbo-loaded, oil filled dinner for us

and then the worst of all, sharing a pudding half/half with

hubby after dinner. Now I am not talking about half a

chocolate or half an ice cream, no, no, I mean the puddings

at Woolies the ones that serve 4, which now only served 2.

I must say, I was petrified to start the Slender Wonder

journey, and let me tell you something, I was a bear with a

sore tooth at the end of detox – but the moment I started

Simeon B...man oh man... there was no stopping me the

kilos were melting off they were moving faster than I could

ever imagine. I had to lose about 30 kilograms. I have also

been hitting the shops hard and fast to keep my clothes size

up with the loss. My husband told me that I was the best

looking homeless person he had seen in a long time. I took

the hint and went to the shops – he is rather cute though, he

sings me this song every day ”skinny-maliknki-dinkie-dink,

skinny –malin-kie-doo....I love you!”

He has been so supportive though out my journey and I

owe most of this to him he has really been stead fast and

strong for me.

Every two weeks I religiously meet with Dr Gerda Sholtz

and my progress has been very well received by her. She is

so understanding and motivating and such a wonderful

person inside and out.

March 2015 we went on a week's holiday to Thailand it was

the first time in years I have been brave enough to wear a

costume on the beach and not cover myself as much as

possible!!! Although the food in Thailand is “not in the

book!”I tried my best to stay on track. I am back now and

motivated as ever to keep this beach body of mine.

I have bought both recipe books and love the amazing

ideas – I use them every night.

We offer the PyruVite supplement as part of the Slender

Wonder Weight Loss Programme. Pyruvate and

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.

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.

Garcinia Cambogia, a natural appetite suppressant and

fat loss promoter. L-Carnitine Tartrate is a potent fat

burner and is responsible for the transport of fats into the

cells to be used for energy in the body. Therefore it

supports the fat burning process and increase your

Beat the

winter bluesWinter isn't most people's favourite season and even

more so when you are trying to lose weight. Days

become shorter, nights longer and the cold has you

wanting to nibble on anything your fingers can find to

“comfort” your cold self. You crave warm foods,

desserts & hot chocolates and you feel it comforts you

when eating or drinking these foods.

Comfort eating in winter leads to uncomfortable

summers and this is why we would like to remind you

“summer bodies are made in winter”. If you eat clean

during the 3 winter months the “you” in Spring will be

ever so grateful that the winter “you” pushed through

saying no to comfort food.

So what do you do when the nasty cravings for comfort

food knocks on your stomach?

We have comprised a few Slender Wonder tips for

you:

1) Hot chocolate craving: heat your Slender Wonder

Protein Plus shake up in the morning and you have

a similar hot chocolate effect.

2) Warm foods: We have several recipes in the

Slender Wonder recipe books that will ease your

“comfort food” craving.

3) It has been shown that when you crave something

that by brushing your teeth the craving will settle.

4) Warm your apple in the microwave, add cinnamon

& sweetener for a pudding effect.

5) Get moving: Try going for a walk, yoga or Pilates.

This will not only benefit your health but also

improve your weight loss and speed up your

metabolism.

6) Exercise your mind: winter is the perfect time to

learn something new. Start a new course,

challenge yourself with crossword puzzles or

Sudoku and catch up on some reading.

7) Try a new hobby, knitting, cycling on the weekends,

painting, horse riding, and learn how to play an

instrument or repurpose old furniture.

8) Most importantly; keep busy to keep your mind off

of food.

9) Always make sure you are well hydrated, drink 2 – 3

liters of water per day. Often dehydration can set off

cravings too.

10) Get enough sleep as sometime fatigue can also

cause you to have cravings.

Reward yourself at the end of winter with a new outfit to

go with your new body that is ready for summer.

Beat the winter blues and prove to yourself that you can

maximize your weight loss efforts during winter too.

Doctor Hanlie Lottering is a general practitioner in

Garsfontein, Pretoria east. She completed her studies

in 2005 and started her own practice in March 2013.

Everyone at her practice still believes in the importance

of family values and the personal relationship between

them and their patients which makes us one big happy

family!

Doctor Lottering wrote:

"I like paediatrics, but all my other patients are equally

important to me. I also assist in medical studies done at

a clinical research facility.

I love nature and photography. I love being active and in

my spare time I join my family and friends for an off-road

trail run in nature, enjoying the beauty of God's creation.

Many people are suffering from obesity and it is my life's

calling to help them to lead a healthier life. After looking

at some solutions to this, I started with Slender Wonder

in February 2014. Since then I treated approximately

390 patients and the results have been overwhelming.

While working with the Slender Wonder program I found

it to be an effective and healthy way to lose weight and

the biggest upside to this is the positive impact on

peoples lives. With Slender Wonder I realised that

healthy people are happy people and my patient's

success stories are a testimonial thereof.

My advice to new Slender Wonder patients is to follow

the programme meticulously, be positive about the

outcome and enjoy this life changing journey! A journey

that they will look back on with pride and self-

satisfaction!

Vital to my Client's success stories is the frequent

reminder of following the programme throughout and

the importance on how to maintain their weight when

finishing the programme.

In my opinion Slender Wonder is not just a diet, it is a life

changing investment in someone's future health."

Dr Lottering has had many Slender Wonder success

stories in her practice and she has shared three of her

patient's stories with us below.

M Van Rooyen is a 29year old female. She has diabetes

and uses insulin on a daily basis. She started on slender

wonder in March 2014 with a weight of 140kg. since she

started on the programme she reduced the amount of

daily insulin, and her sugars are much better controlled.

She is currently at a weight of 93 kg and is still following

the programme. She says that the programme changed

her life and she loves to eat healthy. It is such a privalage

to be part of her journey!!

Mrs K Bezuidenhout is a 58 year old female patient.

She started slender wonder in April 2014. She weighed

in at 91,4kg. She stabilized at a weight of 60.7kg in

September 2014. She had a total loss of 30,7kg and a

total of 81.5cm. She is still maintaining her weight and

even lost another 5kg since then. She is looking younger

and more radiant than the first time we met her.

Mr C Maharaj is a 40year old male patient. We started

his journey in august 2014 with a weight of 100.6kg. he

is a gout sufferer and is also taking cholesterol

treatment. After finishing his stabilisation in april 2015

he ended with a weight of 78.5kg. Since then he has

been doing well and maintained his weight. His blood

pressure stabilised without medication and he did not

suffer from a gout event since the start of the

programme.

We would like to congratulate Dr Lottering with her

Slender Wonder successes thus far and may her

practice grow from strength to strength.

time to "bust the myth" that regular exercise tackles

obesity.

The strongly-worded editorial in the British Journal of

Sports Medicine, published in the May edition of the

journal, says you can't outrun a bad diet and that

although regular exercise reduces the risk of developing

a number of health issues such as heart disease,

dementia, some cancers and type 2 diabetes, it doesn't

promote weight loss unless it is paired with dietary

changes.

Worldwide obesity has doubled since 1980, according

to the World Health Organization, with 600 million

people globally categorised as obese. In the UK obesity

affects one in four adults, according to the NHS.

The NHS defines obesity as adults who have a Body

Mass Index of 30 or over.

The authors of the study say the public is "drowned by

an unhelpful message" from the food industry that

obesity is caused entirely by a lack of exercise, going so

far as to describe the tactics used as "chillingly similar"

to those employed by big tobacco companies when the

links between smoking and lung cancer were first

revealed.

“The tobacco industry successfully stalled government

intervention for 50 years," they say. "This sabotage was

achieved using a ‘corporate playbook’ of denial, doubt,

confusing the public and even buying the loyalty of bent

scientists, at the cost of millions of lives.”

The food industry has also shifted the conversation to

simple calorie counting, the authors write. But it's the

source of calories that matters, the editorial says,

arguing that sugar calories promote the storage of fat

and make people more hungry, while calories that

actually come from fat make a person feel full.

The authors point to a study in the academic journal

Nutrition that says the single most effective way to

counter obesity is to restrict the intake of carbohydrates.

The editorial also strongly criticises sugary drinks,

saying the association between "junk food and sport,

must end." It calls on the British government to put a tax

on sugary drinks and ban the advertising of junk food as

well as saying gyms shouldn't sell the beverages.

In a statement emailed to Mashable,

Britain's Food and Drink Federation strongly rejected

comparisons with the tobacco industry, calling them

"absurd and offensive".
