What physical and behavioral changes have you noticed in yourself as the program ends?

The bloating is gone. I’ve noticed a weight difference, but I haven’t weighed myself, so I’m speaking from feeling. Despite the Antalya heat, my energy is high 🙂 I feel happy that I’ve done something good for myself. I’ve also seen that there’s no such thing as “I can’t.” One of the most valuable things for me is external motivation. The power of working together was the most important thing that kept me on track. I’ve been following you for years, but I only just felt ready. My self-esteem has reached another level. I’m so glad, thank you.

To whom would you recommend this program?

I’ve been talking about it to my close circle since I started. I’m someone who does energetic work. Seeing the effect along with the nutrition, I wish everyone could do it 🙂

I.T.T.

What was your goal when you started this program?

At first, the word “detox” attracted me. On the other hand, I thought that the fact that it’s an IFM-supported program and your touch would create something interesting. Although you said in our conversations that I didn’t really need it because I eat healthily, I was curious. No matter how well-informed and practiced healthy eating, there are times when things go terribly off track, and getting back on track can take a considerable amount of time. I participated in both your EF and NOOG programs. You instilled in our minds so beautifully what should be done and how it should be done that when we stick to this routine, we are already eating healthily and with perfect balance. I joined this program to help me get back on track during those times, thinking, “I’ll participate now if I have time, and if not, I have the documents, I’ll do it when I have time.” Your programs are for life, after all. In short, I participated for the purpose of detoxification.

How did the program help you?

I spent two weeks taking great care of myself and valuing my well-being. Making special meals and smoothies was enjoyable. The recipes broadened my horizons, and I gained many recipes to add to my repertoire. Their ease and deliciousness made me think, “Why haven’t I made this before?” I realized the factors slowing down my weight loss in my healthy eating habits. I understood that even with healthy options, I needed to be cautious about flour, putting it in the “occasionally” category. I realized that keeping grains in the “distant” category meant having 3-5 spoonfuls occasionally, only when I really crave it, not on its own, but as an accompaniment. Meat consumption is very high in my area. I realized that meat was tiring me out. I found that I was getting adequate nutrition and easily digesting food with vegetables, a little legume, and occasional chicken. I loved the smoothie recipes and realized I wanted to make them frequently, if not every day. And most importantly, I realized that you can feel full with less.

What physical and behavioral changes have you noticed in yourself as the program ends?

I feel lighter, and that’s great. The white coating on my tongue has significantly decreased. Tongue scraping and oil pulling have been quite effective in this regard. I’ve noticed I don’t crave sweets at all. I didn’t eat the fruits on the menu. I only ate strawberries once. It seems my beneficial gut bacteria are increasing. Occasionally, I wanted to eat something, but I didn’t snack at all; in fact, I skipped most of my snacks, sometimes even main meals. I’ve lost 3.5 kilos, but more than weight loss, there’s a noticeable slimming effect. I think I’ve actually lost more because when I wake up in the morning, my fingers are still swollen and I have edema. It goes down towards evening, but then I can’t weigh myself because I’m not hungry. Edema is our Siamese twin because I have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. I got very good results on the blood test I had done to check my thyroid levels. Cholesterol and triglycerides, which had been above normal for a long time, had dropped considerably and were at excellent levels. My thyroid values ​​were also quite good.

To whom would you recommend this program?
I would recommend it to everyone who eats unhealthily or who thinks they eat healthily. Actually, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to do themselves a favor, who wants to value themselves and take care of themselves. Even if you eat healthily, you need to take breaks like this from time to time to give your body a rest and reduce the burden on you. I think it’s also suitable for those who can’t do elimination or who want to get things back on track in the short term. Personally, I prefer to continue with this routine. It’s very suitable for the diet I follow and have adopted; the food is very, very, very plentiful. I can change it, transform it, add different vegetables, etc., and continue like this. I can make pizza, pastries, cakes, etc., with my low-carb and gluten-free flours from time to time. I think these will be my room for flexibility. I would have missed out on a lot if I hadn’t joined, thinking, “I already eat well.” You’ve prepared an excellent program in terms of food, discipline, and ease of implementation; congratulations. I also congratulate myself for being able to follow it from beginning to end despite being very busy.

Anything you’d like to add…

It was wonderful to walk this path with you, and experiencing it again was amazing. You know how when you trust someone and let yourself go, you know you’ll be supported and held up before you fall? Walking this path with you is like that. All it takes is the intention, the willingness to entrust yourself to your hands. You’ll take you along; you’ll guide you to the right path, and show you the way.

You are a true friend, a truly kind heart, someone I always feel is there for me, someone I can trust completely, and whose experience and sincerity I trust to the fullest. Thank you so much for everything.

L.C.
I lost 14 kilos by participating in your elimination program, which you launched in October 2020 (while everyone was gaining weight during the pandemic 🙂). So I knew very well the pleasure and logic of working with you. Until now, I have always maintained my weight in light of what I learned from you, but I gained 3 kilos in the last three months. Even though I knew how to eat, I couldn’t be disciplined. When this program came out at that time, I immediately wanted to join and try it. I am VERY, VERY satisfied again. I wholeheartedly wish that everyone would adopt and apply this way of eating. By the way, only two kilos of my excess weight are gone, but that’s not important. The rest will come anyway.

Thank you again for all your efforts, positive energy, and sincerity, and I wish you continued success.
B.K.
What was your goal when you started this program?

I had been eating very poorly for 10-15 days before starting the program. Although I had participated in an elimination program before, I unfortunately lose control in my daily life. When I heard that you had started a new program, I rushed here. My goal is to get my diet in order, and also to learn from your program. I wanted to do a detox like you suggested because in the past I had done very calorie-restrictive detoxes and they were a nightmare! Not only did they not work, but I remember struggling and being unhappy.

How did the program help you?

Having all the menus predetermined made things much easier for me. And having a shopping list was great too. I tried to stick to the program as much as I could, but the meals were too much for me. As you said, there were times when I combined meals, but honestly, there were also times when I skipped some 🙂 The most helpful thing about the program for me (as with the elimination program I participated in before) was that it helped me become disciplined and eat healthily without worrying about anything.

What physical and behavioral changes did you see in yourself at the end of the program?
I feel much better physically and mentally.
C.B.

What was your goal when you started this program?

To be honest, I didn’t know what I would get from this program; I started with a lot of preconceived notions.
How did the program help you?
I learned about proper nutrition and eating at the right times. (I went through a process that I tried to do on my own and couldn’t.)

 

What physical and behavioral changes did you notice in yourself as the program ended?

It helped change my eating habits. I realized that I usually had a pastry or a plain filter coffee for breakfast and fast food for lunch. I noticed that my body relaxed and my belly fat disappeared.

Who would you recommend this program to?

My colleagues had to listen to me for two weeks: “It’s great, you should do it too. Look, Ms. Sema is so energetic, follow her,” were the words they heard almost every day 🙂

Anything else you’d like to add…

I would like to thank my husband for including me in this program and introducing me to you. I will miss your energy and your daily emails.

E.P.

What was your goal when you started this program?

I wanted to incorporate healthy eating into my life, but in the hustle and bustle of life, I hadn’t been able to find the time to establish a proper routine. My aim was to develop a practical eating plan with healthy foods.

How did the program help you?

It showed me that healthy eating isn’t that difficult, with practical recipes and suggestions. I cleansed myself of toxins and felt lighter.

What physical and behavioral changes did you see in yourself at the end of the program?

I lost 2.5 kilos, my stomach is flatter.

Who would you recommend this program to?

To everyone who believes that detoxification is the first condition for a healthy life…
Anything else you’d like to add…

Seeing you as a living example of someone who managed to break bad habits and take a step towards a healthy life gives everyone hope, thank you…

A.A.

What was your goal when you started this program?

I joined this program to learn the rules of healthy eating to alleviate my autoimmune disorders, and to see what I was doing right and what I was neglecting before.

How did the program help you?

Healthy eating was a complex, minefield-like, stressful situation for me. Thanks to Ms. Sema, I felt more at ease. The “1 is always better than 0” mentality calmed me down.

What physical and behavioral changes did you see in yourself at the end of the program?

My bloating and edema decreased, my intestines felt better. I feel like I manage my stress better. I feel lighter and more energetic.

Who would you recommend this program to?
I would recommend it to anyone who wants to take a step towards a healthy life, those with autoimmune diseases, those who want to lose weight or get rid of edema.

Anything else you’d like to add…
My gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free diet was causing me stress from time to time. The day I relaxed a little, I would think the diet was broken and take a break for a few months. Then, when my health deteriorated, I would go back to a strict diet. I was constantly in this cycle. I would see that a strict diet wasn’t sustainable, give up, and then go back. I’m definitely seeing the benefits of the diet, but all this discipline was tiring me out. Your encouragement has put me at ease. It turns out it’s not the end of the world if I bend the rules a little. Thank you for this realization.

O.I.

What was your goal when you started this program?

I’ve had thyroid problems for a long time and have been in menopause for about 3 years. For a while, I was wishing I could get back on track with my successful weight loss journey, but I couldn’t find the motivation. That was until I came across Sema Hanım on social media and started following her posts… She was exactly the motivation I was looking for.

How did the program help you?

It added a lot of useful information to my life, including correcting misconceptions I’d held for years. I lost about 2 kilos in 15 days. Considering my age (53), my extremely slow metabolism, and my beloved menopause, this is a good weight loss for me. If I could have continued with exercise, it might have been more, but my goal was to introduce changes into my life that I could sustain. Thanks to Sema Hanım, I think I’ve made a great start.

What physical and behavioral changes have you seen in yourself by the end of the program?

Whether I ate a little or a lot, I always felt bloated after every meal. It’s completely gone. The feeling of incredible lightness, it makes you feel good too.

To whom would you recommend this program?

I would definitely recommend this program to anyone who truly wants to learn about healthy eating, especially to cleanse their system in the first place. It’s a very important gift you can give yourself and your loved ones…

B.U.
What was your goal when you started this program?

A start to a healthy life.
How did the program help you?

I learned that I can live healthily without starving myself.

What physical and behavioral changes did you see in yourself at the end of the program?

My metabolic rate or weight loss potential is very low. Despite this, I lost 2 kilos in 2 weeks. This is a very good change for me. Also, I used to starve myself a lot before and after the detox, eating whatever came my way out of hunger. Now I eat regularly and I know what I’m eating.

To whom would you recommend this program?
I would recommend it to everyone who has spent their life dieting and not just losing weight, but has developed a scarcity mentality. I also recommend it to anyone who wants to eat healthily but doesn’t know where to start.

Anything you’d like to add…
When I first saw the list, my eyes were satisfied first, then my mind, and finally my stomach. The three-spoon, five-spoon limit imposed by dieticians was psychologically challenging for me. I can never eat more than one plate anyway, but the absence of this limit during meals relieved me mentally. For the first time in my life, I went through a detox program without cheating and without psychological strain. This ease didn’t surprise me because I’ve been following you for a long time and have read your books; I knew you would first ease our minds.

I love you.

G.U.

What was your goal when you started this program?

I had developed such a habit of eating at night (usually chocolate) that I had completely lost control in the last few months. When I told myself, “Okay, enough, start today, have a clean week,” I always stopped halfway. Your program came at the perfect time to help me start and stick with it. To be honest, I wasn’t very sure I could do it because I thought, “I might get bored at some point, I might not like the things I’m supposed to eat,” but that wasn’t the case at all. How did the program help you?

I started exercising three days a week a week ago, and that week I was eating Nutella and getting out of breath and having heart palpitations during exercise. But since the program started, I’ve truly felt cleansed, lighter, and more energetic. Measurements were taken when I started exercising. I don’t think there would have been such a difference between the first and last weeks if I had continued exercising without adjusting my diet. I’ve lost 4 kilos on the scale, and there are differences in my other measurements as well.

What physical and behavioral changes have you noticed in yourself as the program ends?

Physically, beyond the decrease in numbers, I’ve seen a general slimming, a smaller face, and an increase in energy. Behaviorally, I no longer want to prepare unhealthy meals or buy “unhealthy” things when shopping or going out to eat.

For the first time in my life, I have a list that clearly outlines what I will eat at every moment of the week. This has been very beneficial. Looking back at my past experiences, I realized that I would wait until I was very hungry, and then if I couldn’t find anything healthy ready-made, or even if I had the ingredients, I would be too lazy to prepare it and go for the sweetest, most carbohydrate-rich things because something healthy wasn’t appealing at that moment. Then, control shifts to blood sugar and hormones. This program has given me back control, and I can now change my behavior accordingly. The key is also being prepared; I understand you better now.

To whom would you recommend this program?

I would recommend it to everyone. I recommend this to those who say things like, “I have a few extra pounds, I just want to get rid of them,” “The road ahead is so long, and I can’t seem to find the strength to start,” “My energy is very low; I just lie down after eating,” “The clothes I wore last year are either too tight or don’t fit at all this year,” “I don’t know how to eat healthily, I’d like to have some ideas,” “I don’t want to go hungry, and I want to eat healthily,” and many more.

Anything you’d like to add…

I’ve been following you for a very long time. Last year I attended your Mindfulness Eating seminar, and I think I also attended your Meditation and Breathing program last year. This year I did MBSR and Yin Yoga. In previous years, the clearest memory I have is of your 5-week Elimination and Mindfulness program. In short, I’ve always been here. MBSR was the most consistent program I could do until this one… I found it both very easy and very enjoyable. The fact that the menus were fixed and the ingredients were things we always use and can easily find, and that it was limited to 2 weeks, also made the process easier, in my opinion. I’m someone who can only manage 3 meals a day at most, so I progressed by sometimes combining menus, sometimes only consuming one if there were two dishes in a meal. Ultimately, I had a wonderful experience by staying within the menu but making changes that suited me. I’m still continuing.

Thank you so much for your efforts and the positive impact you’ve had on my life. Up until now, I’ve participated in everything you’ve done without hesitation because I’ve had complete trust in your sincerity and good intentions. Oh, by the way, I’ve also read “Happy Eating,” I just finished it. Looking forward to meeting you again in new programs or books.

G.Ö.

What was your goal when you started this program?

I started this program to get my diet in order and motivate myself.

How did the program help you?

First of all, I learned the importance of vegetable variety, very nice and satisfying breakfast alternatives, and how to balance my diet more easily with colorful detox drink recipes.

What physical and behavioral changes did you see in yourself at the end of the program?

I got rid of the thought, “I absolutely have to eat dinner.” Now I can end the day much more easily with detox drinks. Just experiencing this and being able to say to myself, “Wow! I can do it!” is a huge success for me. Physically, I can tell I’ve slimmed down from my clothes. I got rid of the edema and bloating that bothered me.

To whom would you recommend this program?

To everyone who sees the change in me and asks what I did…
Anything else you’d like to add…

I had a very enjoyable 2 weeks. Thank you so much for your efforts.

D.Y.

I was a total emotional eater. I initially turned to intuitive eating because, as you described, my diet had disrupted my nutrition, and eating had become a stressful issue for me. Therefore, your emphasis on “enjoyment” in both elimination and holistic detox is invaluable to me; that was the first thing that helped. I learned from you that following a diet that benefits me isn’t a burden, an obligation, or something to blame myself for or feel guilty about if anything goes wrong. Instead, I learned to think, “Okay, wait a second, I’m in control. This meal went wrong. But it’s not that bad, I can fix this,” and it worked incredibly well.

When we started the elimination process, you said, “It might be good for a healthy person to do this once a year,” and holistic detox seems similar. Learning these things from you, in such a compassionate voice, is incredibly important to me. Compliments are indeed compliments, but I’m truly grateful that our paths crossed.

Because nothing has resonated with me as much as your explanation that this is a holistic process. I’m 37 years old, and I’m relearning nutrition and self-care from scratch. I’m learning to look after my body’s needs, to listen to my body, and to dedicate time to it. I can guide my daughter in this way too. Your enthusiasm for sharing these things is also a separate source of motivation, and I want to mention that as well. The live streams have a truly unifying effect; reading them throughout the week, then listening to them. Every morning, opening your emails first among the emails from work brightens my day. I’ve organized them all; seeing them in my inbox makes me feel so relieved.

Besides all this, the professionalism and international standards of all the emails, live streams, and information didn’t escape my notice. I am an academic, and I have a lot of experience with training and seminars outside of academia, whether it’s email communication, content information, or Zoom usage. I would like to express my appreciation in this regard. Finally, I would also like to thank Ms. Püren for her kind and quick responses.

In short, all of these programs were very welcoming, inclusive, and enjoyable, where I felt like I was being pampered. I’ve become practically a subscriber to your programs. I’ve gotten used to seeing you and receiving your emails, and I won’t easily stop 🙂

Thank you for being here, and I hope you help many more people, just like me, reconcile with nutrition, sleep, stress management, and their bodies.

E.M.

First of all, thank you so much. My goal in participating in the program was to get rid of the edema and unnecessary weight gain that I had already noticed and expected, which I had been experiencing while on vacation, intentionally and without much thought.

I also participated in your 3-part elimination program in March. It was the first time I had ever done such an elimination diet, and while I was truly surprised by its effects, what I really enjoyed was learning about nutrition. I didn’t know, or thought I knew, and now knowing this, even if I have occasional slip-ups, is incredibly valuable. I struggled at first with what, when, and how to eat, but I eventually got that under control. The most shocking thing I discovered during the elimination program was that what I thought was my belly was actually bloating. When I woke up on the morning of the 5th or 6th day of the elimination program, my belly was gone, it hadn’t been there. Those constant morning fatigues I used to feel were gone too; I was more energetic, and I was happy to see this and to have learned about proper nutrition. Just as I was planning to do a full detox after my vacation, I saw that your detox program was also starting on the same date, and I thought, “Yes, this process with Sema Hanım will be more systematic, more conscious, a real detox.” I’ve talked a lot about the elimination program, but it was truly a three-week period where things changed for me, so I was sure the detox program would go well too. Also, the programs are paid, which is how it should be, but how should I put it, you write with the aim of doing much more than just selling a service; it’s not like, “This is the program, let’s see what happens,” you explain things, and that resonates with the person you’re talking to, and I thank you for that. Reading the emails in the mornings was also very enjoyable; I always read them with a smile on my face because the writing style was so nice.

F.A.

What was your goal when you started this program?

My goal was to detox and burn fat.

How did the program help you?

My edema decreased and I burned fat.

What physical and behavioral changes did you see in yourself at the end of the program?
I experienced a decrease in body fat percentage and weight loss. My body became smaller. (I am in menopause, and it was very difficult for me to burn fat without starving myself.)

Who would you recommend this program to?

I think everyone can do it. The lists are very satisfying and easy to follow.

Anything else you’d like to add…

I have nothing to say except thank you. I was following you before you became popular. I had no hesitation in joining the program.
Ö.Ç.

What was your goal when you started this program?

Actually, my diet has become cleaner since the triple elimination program, but lately I felt that I was consuming too many carbohydrates and dairy products, even though they were healthy. I wanted to join the program to get back on track.

How did the program help you?

I learn brand new things in every program. This time, the weekly menus you prepared meticulously and with great effort were the most helpful part. Yes, I learned many things. Since I’ve been following you for 6-7 years, I’m already familiar with the recipes, but I also learned brand new recipes that I can apply for the rest of my life. More importantly, the concept of nutrition has become ingrained in my mind thanks to this program. I’m very happy that I will be able to eat more disciplined thanks to this program.

It was an incredible program. While my expectation was nutrition, you added so many other new things to my life. I will be able to live a higher quality life from now on. Everything about life, from the air I breathe to my body care, to the healthy cleaning of my home, has fallen into place thanks to this program.

What physical and behavioral changes did you see in yourself at the end of the program?

First of all, of course, I feel lighter. My energy has increased significantly. With this program, and by incorporating yoga and meditation into my life, my sleep has become much more regular. I feel brand new.

To whom would you recommend this program?

I would recommend this program to everyone. Especially those who drink parsley juice, etc., for 21 days thinking they’re doing a detox, please participate in this program and learn how deep and holistic a real detox is.
Anything you’d like to add…
I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH.

H.Ü.
What was your goal when you started this program?
I’ve been following you on Instagram since 2018. After being diagnosed with thyroid cancer in January 2019, I started clean eating. This was interrupted during the pandemic, and although I tried from time to time, I couldn’t fully get back on track. My aim in joining your program was to dare to start a clean slate again. I intended to nourish my cells rather than just fill my stomach. And that’s what happened.

How did the program help you?
It gave me the motivation to start and continue. It made me realize that there are alternatives that don’t disrupt our routine when eating out.

What physical and behavioral changes have you noticed in yourself as the program ends?
I lost about 3 kilos in two weeks. My waist shrank by 2 cm, and my belly by 3 cm. I’m happy that the effort I put in is reflected in my physical appearance. Even better, I feel healthier, more vibrant, and lighter.
To whom would you recommend this program?

I would recommend it to anyone who wants to make positive changes in their life.

G.C.
First of all, thank you for reminding me of myself again. I realized that all my eating habits were related to my mood, and that I didn’t feel very good when I remembered how I unconsciously put food into my body as if I were punishing myself. As I said, I’m going through a difficult process. I’m doing more than I can, but feeling guilty about external factors I can’t change is one of the worst things I do to my body and soul. With what I remember from my past coaching trainings, I wasn’t letting myself sink to that low point for too long, but I couldn’t get back on track either. I was in a ridiculous vicious cycle. It was as if a ridiculous idea like, “If the conditions don’t change, I should eat more,” was controlling me. You helped me wake up from this clouded mind. Honestly, when I signed up for the program, I didn’t really think such a change could happen in such a short time. But BINGO! :)))

What was your goal when you started this program?
I opened a notebook and started writing. On July 9th, I answered the question “Why did I start?” with: “I joined to lose weight, to eat healthily and make it sustainable, to cleanse myself of toxins, and to feel better.”

How did the program help you?

I learned that you can detox without starving yourself. In my previous experiences, my blood pressure would drop, and I would faint. I also experienced that being organized and planned in the kitchen prevented attacks. The balanced and carefully thought-out menus were delicious and easy. Even the consideration of snacks made the whole process easier.

What physical and behavioral changes have you noticed in yourself as the program ends?
To speak in numbers, a total of -3.6 kg and a 2-3 cm reduction in circumference. The results might be a little misleading because I was on my period. Nevertheless 🙂 Also, the incredible physical relief, the reduction in bloating, and the feeling of my stomach feeling full were priceless. Waking up feeling refreshed and energetic in the morning, and seeing that I didn’t crave the foods I dreamed of before bed as much when I woke up, was great. I stuck to the plan except for one evening meal. That day I cut out fruit and grains and included them in the evening meal. The next day, I proudly continued where I left off 🙂 Behaviorally, my hand always reaches for healthy alternatives when I’m out. Especially in the supermarket, I spent the most time in the fruit and vegetable section 🙂

Who would you recommend this program to?

I would recommend it to anyone suffering from eating disorders, wanting to lose weight, and wanting to learn how to make this sustainable.

Anything you’d like to add…

Motivation was important to me; even without one-on-one follow-up, staying in daily contact supported the process. E.G.

What was your goal when you started this program?

My aim was to take a step towards healthy eating with a group, and I thought this step could best be done with a cleanse. Unfortunately, I’m not a very disciplined person myself, and I find guided, group work very beneficial.

How did the program help you?

I definitely learned some amazing recipes! I can also say I learned the secret to staying full. Most importantly, I realized that it’s not that difficult, and that I can eat much healthier than I would outside by simply taking a salad with me…

What physical and behavioral changes did you see in yourself at the end of the program?

I used to feel sleepy after every lunch, but that problem is completely gone. Instead of wanting to sleep, I feel even more energetic. My skin is radiant thanks to the water and green tea I drank.

To whom would you recommend this program?

For those experiencing bloating and feeling sluggish in the afternoon. Most importantly, for those who say, “I can’t do it, it’s a long process, I don’t have time.” Anything else you’d like to add…
The Yuka app is very helpful for me. It’s used by scanning the barcodes of cosmetic and food products. I recommend it.

A.A.
What was your goal when you started this program?
To lose the weight and edema I gained after the holiday and to relieve my body fatigue.
How has the program helped you?
First of all, I want to say that your smiling face, your sparkling eyes, and your enthusiasm really impress me. You add so much to my life in a positive way. I used to follow you on Instagram and wanted to start this program with you. I thought you would have positive contributions in every way. It has had many benefits, both mentally and physically, that I can apply throughout my life.

What physical and behavioral changes have you seen in yourself at the end of the program?
I feel relaxed, I saw that I can do it when I want to. I also lost a few kilos and my edema decreased.

To whom would you recommend this program?

I recommend it to everyone around me and will continue to do so.

Anything you’d like to add…

Thank you so much for everything, it was a very enjoyable program. I eagerly awaited the emails every day. Each new email added something to me. I enjoyed the program, I will repeat it as soon as possible and integrate it into my life in daily and 2-3 day periods. I wish you success in your work. Looking forward to participating in your other programs…
Best regards.
Y.Y.

What was your goal when you started this program?

I started this program to regulate my eating habits, which I had disrupted for months after the trauma of the earthquake I experienced in Elazığ, and to address the emotional hunger I had noticed. It wasn’t just my weight that was increasing; I was also experiencing menstrual cramps and acne. All of this indicated to me that something was starting internally. Therefore, I quickly decided that starting with a liver cleanse would be the best approach.

How did the program help you?

First of all, I noticed that my post-digestive drowsiness had disappeared, and I could manage my hunger pangs. By the end of the first week, I had started to get rid of my edema and feel lighter. Honestly, it was a program that made me happy. Also, Ms. Sema’s dopamine-filled eyes and energy were very motivating. Of course, not having to worry about “What food should I eat?” for two weeks also gave me peace of mind.

I also learned to consume all healthy food groups in a single day. I still haven’t been able to stop following the program. And there was one sentence from Ms. Sema that was so impactful to me, I have to mention it: “1 is greater than 0. Whatever you have done, go back!” This method was different from everything I had learned from strict diet and detox systems. It turns out the goal is to be happy without doing anything strict.

What physical and behavioral changes did you see in yourself at the end of the program?
I knew that hunger is a controllable feeling that can pass after a while, but I was never at peace with my hunger. I also knew that my hunger stemmed from a fear of scarcity somewhere in my subconscious.

I used to drink at least 2 cups of plain Turkish coffee a day, sometimes 2 mugs of plain filter coffee, and then I’d think, ‘Oh no, I’m retaining water again, but why?’ and I didn’t know. I learned that maybe the ideal amount is to limit it to 1 cup or 1 mug. I’ve learned to keep that within ideal limits too. I feel physically lighter, what more can I say?

Who would you recommend this program to?

Honestly, I recommend this program to everyone around me. My husband also had to do it with me at home.

Anything else you’d like to add…
I’ve been following you on Instagram for at least 5 years, and I also have the first edition of your book because I have an allergic son, and thanks to the recipes in your book, I never went hungry while breastfeeding. I always prepared healthy snacks, so my emotional connection with you is very different. I even saw you in a dream once and emailed you. It seems our meeting was meant to happen now. May your efforts, positive energy, and happiness continue. I also extend my endless gratitude for all the information you share on Instagram and your blog. Thank you for being here and thank you for crossing paths!
May your path always be open!

Greetings from Elazığ.

What was your goal when you started this program?

I can say clearly: “To lose weight.”

How did the program help you?

I learned that you can feel full by eating healthy, and more importantly, that healthy eating doesn’t mean eating bland, tasteless things. For example, I loved those sprouted lentils!!! And that lentil bread, oh my God, how delicious and filling it is. You wrote this program so well that I forgot what hunger was, and unbelievably, I lost 4.2 kilos while doing it.

What physical and behavioral changes have you noticed in yourself as the program ends?

My physical change: I’ve visibly slimmed down. All the weight lost was fat. My diet attempts, which I’d started and abandoned months ago, finally yielded results thanks to a professional’s guidance.

Who would you recommend this program to?

I would recommend it to anyone who wants to do themselves a favor. I would recommend it to anyone who wonders, “What does it feel like to wake up with a flat stomach every morning?”

Anything else you’d like to add…

I sincerely thank you, because you didn’t just write a program and then sit back and watch your clients. You also wrote down the recipes, even down to what and how to make them. To be honest, I was a day behind and almost gave up (due to personal reasons), but after seeing your amazing energy and excitement in the first live broadcast, I thought, “Let me try it, what do I have to lose?” and after two weeks, participating in this detox was one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. I’ll continue to follow you, see you in the next program. Lots of love to you all, from America…
