Pain in the legs – Karin Weichmann

“I could hardly walk because of the pain in my legs”

During her last pregnancy, Karin Weichmann experienced “unbelievable pain” in her legs and could hardly walk. “The doctors suspected multiple sclerosis, but fortunately this was not confirmed.” Even after the pregnancy, her pain did not improve. “My boss gave me the tip that food intolerances could also be linked to my complaints and recommended that I contact the Cytolabor. I would never have thought that my leg pain could have anything to do with my diet. And I had already changed my diet once before because I was overweight and gave up wheat – but my weight hadn’t changed at the time.”

 

Is this just wasted money or does it actually help?

“At first I was reluctant to spend the money because I didn’t know whether it would really help or whether it would just be money down the drain. As the pain was so bad and I trusted my boss, I turned to Cytolabor after all. I was surprised by my test result, on the one hand, how many things I tolerate well and, on the other hand, surprised that I react to certain things that I had previously considered to be good and healthy for me: I would not have expected to react to beef, hazelnuts, spelt or soy. And the fact that all dairy products reacted so strongly was a bit of a shock for me.” In Karin Weichmann’s family of five, the old food was quickly eaten up and she was able to completely change her diet within a week.

 

“In the beginning I had strong side effects of detoxification”

“Within a few days of changing my diet, my detox started with severe side effects such as headaches and aching limbs, like a severe flu. This lasted about 1.5 to 2 weeks and after that I felt better every day. Fortunately, I was prepared for this thanks to the nutritional advice and my boss, who had also told me about it beforehand.”

 

“After 3 weeks all the pain was gone and the kilos tumbled without feeling hungry”

“After 3 weeks, all the pain in my body was gone, including the leg pain, which is why I had started the whole thing. And the kilos dropped very quickly too – without feeling hungry! I didn’t even know that you could eat so much – I really ate a lot (vegetables). As I could eat as many vegetables as I wanted, the changeover was no problem for me. Just putting vegetables in front of my husband and children didn’t work, so I cooked some extra for myself.”

 

“Mom, keep up the good work.”

“My family was very supportive and said: ‘Mom, keep it up’ and it wasn’t a problem for me that they ate something different to me. I work part-time and cooked my food at home for work and took it with me. Shopping was a real challenge at the beginning because I had to look carefully at the ingredients in the food. But after shopping three times and studying the labels, I knew what was suitable and shopping went as quickly as before.”

 

“I never had the feeling of sacrifice.”

Karin Weichmann lost 9 kilos in the first month and a half of changing her diet. But when she made an exception, she noticed it immediately: “When I ate a wheat roll, I had to go to the toilet straight afterwards, it was as if my body wanted to get rid of it as quickly as possible. Sometimes my body also reacted with heartburn. On very rare occasions, I deliberately ate certain foods as an exception. As a result, the change in diet was not a struggle for me and I never felt like I was going without. The cravings for sweets, fast food or my old eating habits disappeared by giving my body what it needed.”

 

“I lost weight in the right places”

“Not only did my pain disappear when I changed my diet, but my weight also went down. When I was running, my pants even slipped down at some point… I’m now two dress sizes smaller. In total, I’ve lost 20 kilos in 7 months, and in all the right places: I lost weight on my bottom, stomach, legs and arms, but my bust remained the same size 😊. The skin on my face, legs and décolleté has also improved significantly, becoming much firmer and softer.”

 

“The Cytolab’s nutrition program is worth every penny!”

“I was so scared when I had the pain during my last pregnancy and had heard various horror scenarios from the doctors, for example that I might have rheumatism or multiple sclerosis. The idea of having three small children (13, 10 and 1.5 years old) and a serious chronic illness and being increasingly absent as a mother was terrible for me. But the path can be so easy! I am so happy to have made the change in diet. I can only recommend it to everyone. The Cytolabor nutrition program is worth every penny!”

 

“There are so many great ways to change your diet.”

“Many people shy away from changing their diet because they don’t know how to cook alternatives. Yet there are now so many great ideas and recipes on the Internet on how to replace all sorts of things. The Cytolab’s advice was also great, because every time I had a hang-up, I got new motivation, feedback or valuable practical tips. It was great not to be left alone. This always made me feel well supported when things got difficult for me. In hindsight, I would say that the cyto-nutrition program is worth much more than what it cost me. Especially the guidance and support I received in counseling was enormously valuable and enriching for my life.

A thousand thanks.”
