Once again, another amazing pre-New Year’s program has concluded. Participants entered the new year free from their sugar addictions. What great happiness this is…
I’d like to share a couple of feedbacks here to inspire and encourage you 🙂
B.B. from Istanbul
1) My 3 main goals before starting the program:
To learn healthy eating
To get rid of sugar without suffering
To lose weight without sticking to boring diet lists
I achieved all my goals
2) This program helped me achieve my goals in the following way:
Thanks to social media, we have access to a lot of useful information, but we have serious shortcomings in applying this information. At least that was the case for me. Thanks to this program, I learned new ways to more easily apply what I had learned but couldn’t apply.
3) The biggest change I’ve noticed since starting the program:
I realized I don’t actually need sugar at all, and that I’m more energetic and positive when I don’t eat sugar, whereas before the program I believed the opposite would happen if I didn’t eat sugar.
My frequent and unexplained headaches have almost completely disappeared during the healthy eating phase, and when they did occur, they were never severe and never affected my quality of life.
I also realized I’ve always been unfair to pumpkin. It wasn’t the pumpkin itself that I disliked, but the sugar added when cooking it 🙂 I’ve literally made peace with pumpkin thanks to the program 🙂
4) My additions:
Thank you so much for the wonderful experience, important insights, and lifelong lessons…
Goodbye, Ms. Sema, hoping to meet you at a workshop you organize soon 🙂
Best regards…

This participant was the most anxious person on the first day and week. She kept thinking about these days and saying, “I can’t quit anyway.” Now, let’s see where she is 🙂
1) My 3 main goals before starting the program:
My first goal was to eliminate refined sugar from my life. Incredibly, by the 4th week, I didn’t crave sugar anymore because we learned how to feel full properly in those four weeks. My second goal was to give up white flour. I didn’t consume white flour during the program, and afterwards, I didn’t go back to the bakery products that now seem like poison to me, and I don’t think I will, but sometimes you crave pastries and fritters. A few hours ago, I made one of the recipes I recently learned; it uses oatmeal instead of flour, and it’s fantastic. This program has opened up a whole new world for me. As I get the chance to try different recipes, I’m sure I’ll find healthy alternatives for all of them. My third major goal was to change my eating habits and adapt them to my life, ensuring their sustainability. Thanks to Sema Hanım’s practical tips, I’m still continuing to eat and nourish myself without any problems 🙂
2) This program helped me achieve my goals in the following ways:
I had tried to give up sugar on my own many times before and failed. Sema Hanım is a source of inspiration and motivation in herself. First of all, she approaches everything scientifically, explaining the reasons behind everything, so we can put our eating habits and deprivations on a solid foundation. Also, and I think most importantly, she reminds us that we shouldn’t be harsh on our own bodies.
3) The biggest change I’ve noticed since starting the program:
I DON’T crave sugar! Or rather, I don’t crave sweets 🙂 Joking aside, the first thing I noticed was that sugar was causing me chronic fatigue and tiredness. Since I eliminated sugar from my body, I feel more energetic and vibrant. I used to wake up feeling exhausted and lacking energy on nights when I couldn’t resist a sweet craving; now, even if I’ve slept little, I wake up full of energy in the mornings.
4) My additions:
I owe you a debt of gratitude for all your support and efforts, and for the invaluable information you shared with us, Sema Hanım <3 You are doing a truly noble job, you are saving lives.

1) My 3 important goals before starting the program:
I had 2 goals:
To go more than 3 days without sugar because I always broke it after 3 days. I haven’t eaten sugar for 5 weeks now, I’ve become more conscious.
2. Accessing the right recipes, increasing my awareness in this sense. Yes, I achieved my goals.
2) The biggest change I’ve noticed since starting the program:
Quality hunger! And being able to manage hunger; my hunger no longer controls me, I’m grateful.
