Doros Demetriades
Lost 25.00 Kg
My name is Doros Demetriades and, at 51, I can finally pinpoint the moment my life changed for the better.
My weight gain began right after school, when sport fell by the wayside and the habits of adult life caused the scales to climb.
The excess weight soon took a toll on my health, leading to high blood pressure and a racing heart. Five years ago, my doctor prescribed medication to manage my vitals, making it clear that my condition wasn't pathological but a direct result of my weight. He urged me to lose the pounds, but despite trying various diets on my own, I saw no real results.
Being on daily medication meant I was no longer allowed to give blood—a setback that deeply upset me, as I took great pride in being a donor. At the same time, my weight made exercise nearly impossible. I felt a sense of anger watching others run, knowing I simply couldn't keep up.
This year, I decided to change course and turned to The 1:1 Diet. The support of my Consultant, Olga Assiotou, was the turning point. She did far more than just guide me; she was constantly there to encourage and motivate me through every challenge.
The result? Having lost 25kg, my health has been fully restored. My blood pressure is normal, and medication is a thing of the past! I can finally run and exercise again, but my greatest satisfaction was being able to donate blood once more.
