I spent 3 months working with Andre, and I’ve lost almost 30kg. My background is a combination of elite army units and elite sport, but after injury my weight blew out to more than 140kg. As a result I gained further health impacts, not the least being those on my heart. On my own I had managed to get myself back to around 125kg. I had been seeing a dietician for about 6 months, and managed to shed a little more weight but nothing to get excited about. I had another health scare, so I was now desperate to shift the weight.
I knew about Andre’s work, as I’d had a passing interest over the years. I’ve known him since our army days in the 1980s. I thought, I’ve tried all the ‘normal’ ideas, none of them worked- why not try something drastic.
The first thing Andre told me was to chuck all the books out- the western diet books that is….and that’s the hardest part of this exercise. Adjusting the mind to accept that what has been taught as “healthy’ food and diet, simply put….isn’t.
Once I’d made the mental leap, the rest was easy. Hold myself accountable for what enters my mouth, hold myself accountable for what I input into the systems he provided, and to be ruthlessly true to the program. There is an element of mental discipline, but I found that once I got into the groove- it becomes second nature.
There isn’t any real secret to Andre’s methods or what he teaches. It’s plainly obvious once you begin.
But- here’s the kicker. You have to do what he says. Don’t wander off thinking he’s crazy. Step up, buy in, and you’ll win.
