How Michele Lost 16kg and Reversed Her Insulin Resistance – All After 50
At 52, Michele had nearly given up hope.
After years of trying every diet under the sun – from points-based programs to meal deliveries – nothing seemed to work. As a busy head of a junior school, mum of two, and grandma of two energetic little boys, her health had slowly slipped down her priority list.
“I was at my heaviest, didn’t like what I saw in the mirror, and felt completely exhausted. But I told myself… something has to change.”
She stumbled across Health with Bec on Instagram. After a month of watching quietly from the sidelines, she decided to try the 3 Week Body Reset – and it changed everything.
“Within the first week, I felt so much less bloated and had so much more energy. Even my husband noticed – I was zipping around the kitchen! My skin felt better too. It all happened so quickly.”
Michele’s Incredible Results
Michele lost 5.2kg in 3 weeks, and by the fourth month, she’d lost 16kg – and has maintained that weight loss ever since.
Not only did she lose weight, but her health and life improved dramatically:
Her insulin resistance reversed – and she came off medication
Her arthritis improved significantly
Her bloating reduced
Her confidence came back
Her energy has returned, and she’s running around with her grandkids again
Her family and colleagues noticed her new demeanour
Michele’s Confidence, Energy, and Joy Returned After 17 Years of Struggle
Michele’s transformation wasn’t just physical – it was deeply emotional, too. She’d been in menopause since age 35 (following a hysterectomy) and spent 17 years feeling like her metabolism had given up on her.
“I like myself again. I like how I look. I like how I feel. I like being more confident. I feel like a better version of myself.”
Why This Program Worked (When Nothing Else Did)
Michele had tried it all – from meal deliveries to points tracking – but nothing stuck. Why? Because she never felt educated or empowered.
The difference this time? The program taught her how to eat, allowed flexibility, provided support, and focused on whole, anti-inflammatory foods that suited her body.
Michele stuck to the 3 Week Body Reset and later joined the Health with Bec Tribe, where she found an inspiring community that provided motivation, accountability, and encouragement to keep going.
“It’s not a diet. It’s a way of life. I still eat cake. I still drink wine. The food is so tasty and really filling.”
Michele’s Top Tips For Success
These two simple strategies helped Michele stay on track, even on the tough days:
Remember your “why” – She set up daily phone reminder for herself at 9 am to keep her focused and motivated every single day.
Get organised – Prepping meals ahead of time and having a dedicated pantry shelf made everything easier.
Michele’s story is proof that it’s never too late to take back control of your body and your health – without giving up the foods you love.
