FIND OUT MOREThe Food Effect Diet has transformed my life. I enjoy my eating plan and look forward to my meals and snacks. I am never hungry and am still losing weight! Thanks Michelle!
Michelle was outstanding in educating and helping me see that I didn't have to refrain from eating everything I loved to achieve a healthy, slimmer me. I have lost 10 kilograms and kept it off and I am still having my beloved fried egg sandwich on a Friday...
Michelle is such a great coach. Everyone should have a Michelle in their life!
Finally a healthy eating book whose contents I really felt I could trust (I also purchased The Food Effect Diet Vegan book after reading the first). I love the meal plans with recipes that are really doable and knowing what I am eating is good for my body....
Michelle didn't put me on a "diet”, she taught me the value of healthy eating. After my initial consultation, I expected to start my journey alone; however Michelle sent a detailed personalised meal plan just a few days later, together with numerous exciting, healthy and easy recipes to...
Michelle’s advice, guidance and meal plan have helped me lose an amazing amount of weight, without feeling hungry and with significant benefits to my health and well-being. I love her recipes, which I make for my whole family (including three ravenous sons), who don’t even realise I’m on...
I bought The Food Effect Diet Vegan book for myself as I wanted to get into a routine with my eating and also lose weight. I’m into my second week of the plan and not only are the meals delicious and I’ve tried so many new recipes, I...
As someone who is not vegan but looking to explore more plant based eating, The Food Effect Diet Vegan book couldn’t be better! It gives so much background on nutrition, the science of what we need to be healthy on a vegan diet, what supplements to take (&...
Over the last year I have tried many different nutrition plans from different nutritionists. All were restrictive in some way and didn’t fit in with my day-to-day life. My wife found Michelle on Instagram. The initial consultation was great, with Michelle understanding my goals and wanting to lose...
The Food Effect Diet book is so fab and easy to follow. I am enjoying all the recipes and am down 6 pounds and feeling great! It's the lowest I have been since having my daughter two years ago! Thank you so much Michelle
After a crazy holiday season in my restaurant/bakery, my diet went to shambles! After a series of blood tests, I got a wake up call from my doctor that my LDL (bad) cholesterol was creeping up and up. I started back on The Food Effect attack phase...
The Food Effect Diet book is honestly the the best I have ever read! It is clear and easy to read, offering great information and delicious, healthy recipes. It has put me on a healthy eating path which I haven't been able to follow elsewhere. Highly recommended!
I went to see Michelle precisely because she is medically qualified - I truly believe that someone who influences my diet needs to have a holistic approach and only someone medically, as well as nutritionally qualified has the ability to do that. I'm a challenging case because I...
I lost 22 kilos (48.5 pounds!) using Dr. Michelle's The Food Effect meal plan and managed to fit into my smallest ever dress size at age 59 for my son’s wedding! Thank you so much Michelle x
Having adopted vegetarianism at seven years old, I was never really overweight even though I didn’t eat particularly healthily. That all changed when I got married at twenty-four. The weight slowly crept on as I gave in to all sorts of bad cravings – copious amounts of refined...
Michelle has completely changed my life. I’ve always struggled with weight and tried many diets. None of the diets really addressed the underlying issues I had. I dieted with some success but always regained the weight eventually because my bad eating habits weren’t actually addressed. After having...
Michelle’s nutrition program and continuous support have improved my life tremendously. My constant bloating disappeared, my metabolism and energy levels got so much better, and I managed to lose over 14kg slowly and steadily, which is the best way to maintain stable results. Michelle is one of...
The Food Effect Diet teaches you how to live a healthy lifestyle! What I love the most is that Michelle gives you so many recipes and food ideas that you won't go hungry and she gives you the freedom to come up with your own ideas too! We've...
I love the meal options on The Food Effect Method lifestyle, and the fact that I can switch meals around so I don't have to try and eat things I really don't like (beetroot!) is fantastic. I have lost about 5 stones (70 pounds!) following The Food...
I am so happy I purchased The Food Effect Diet book! It is beyond informative and I love all the principles, i.e. not cutting out any food groups, but instead focusing on ‘good’ healthy carbs, non-processed and whole foods. As well as for weight loss, it is so...
Thank you to Michelle at The Food Effect for such inspirational, healthy and delicious recipes and meal ideas for the busy professional. As a busy doctor who never stops, they make eating well, extremely possible! "World Cup Pea Soup" is incredible!!!
It has been a year since I came to Michelle as a client to help with severe digestive issues I was struggling with for years. I have stuck with the changes she advised, and the results have been amazing! It's the best I've felt in 10 years since...
I went to see Michelle primarily because I needed help controlling some long standing stomach issues. Michelle suggested an eating plan that was easy to follow and allowed me to eat much more than I was before, but this time of the correct foods. Within a week my...
Through living and eating The Food Effect way, Michelle shows that food can be healthy and enjoyable at the same time. The meals and recipes are outstanding, colourful and delicious, and about as far from dullness and deprivation as I could imagine!
I'm reluctant to describe this as a "diet" - it's more a tutorial in healthy eating, which sounds uninspiring doesn't it? But the results are phenomenal. The 28-day plan is very cleverly tailored to suit the working lifestyle (saving half of supper for lunch the next day) and...
Back in April 2021 I purchased The Food Effect books but shamefully didn't do the diet just read them and thought "yeah but I can do this quicker by doing Keto, or low carb, or...." Fast forward to January 2024, I've decided no more quick fixes! So...
Michelle's healthy eating plan is so effective for weight loss and overall wellbeing. I don't feel deprived or hungry at all, and feel more energised than ever too! I am grateful for all her support and suggestions about how to make eating more interesting and exciting, while...
After using Michelle's first book, I had to buy her second (The Food Effect Diet Vegan). It changed my life, and I was interested in trying out this book too. Highly recommend both of them!
