CASE STUDIES • Provide real life inspiration Johanna, age 37 “Having been bullied because of my weight since I was at school. I had very low self-esteem. I was determined to lose weight but wanted to with ease as other programmes have been just too difficult to keep to. Before I took Zotrim my weight was 14st 9lbs and is now 12st 7lbs. My waist has reduced by inches and I have dropped down from a size 22 to a 14/16. Zotrim was the tool I needed to help me boost my energy levels and to help me feel full more quickly so I reduced my calorie intake. I also loved the step-by-step advice that the website provided as it was good to have it written out. I personally printed the tips out and made myself a notebook that I kept in the kitchen for easy reference! I have recommended Zotrim to all my friends and family as they are stunned by the great results that I have achieved so far”. Following eight successful clinical trials, Zotrim works by encouraging the feeling of satiety so you feel full quicker and for longer, reducing portion size and the temptation to snack. This reduction in calorie intake does not mean a reduction in energy levels however. Zotrim uses Guarana, a natural stimulant to increase that “get-up-and-go” feeling so you achieve your desired size more rapidly. Zotrim can be used alongside any other diet programme or alone to lose five percent of your body weight in just six weeks and reduce your waist and hip ratio for a more streamlined silhouette this Autumn/Winter.

By drawing on the experiences of others who have lived with cancer, as well as a bank of experts, this easy-to-navigate and reassuring site allows you to get involved with discussions, read expert opinions, share advice, contacts, stories and messages of hope with other chemotherapy patients. Whether you are looking for nutritional supplementation and dietary information or a more hands-on therapy such as acupuncture, the site will guide you through and provide feedback from patients who have been there. Fully interactive Life Mel encourages you to get involved. Your stories and recommendations are crucial to helping during-chemotherapy.org.uk grow and develop.
