Leanne said:

“We are not consciously restricting our calories, this isn’t a diet. This is a pattern of eating which we are intaking the same number of meals”.

“There are lots of reasons why I’m doing this and as I say my main measures of success will be, do I feel better? Do I feel like I have a bit more energy?”
