Q & A : Mandy Teixeira – 5th in Women’s Transformation

Please give us a short history of your journey to health and fitness before the challenge.

Before this challenge, I’ve done a lot of Yo-Yo diets, and trained a bit when I got time.

What prompted you to join the Sleekgeek Transformation Challenge?

I’ve joined challenges from different companies over the past 10 years, I saw an advert on Facebook and thought why not give them a try.

Give us a quick overview of the nutrition and eating plan that you followed during the challenge.

I’ve cut out sugars and tried to eat cleaner, drink less coffee. I had a small breakfast mostly fibre, lunch was protein and salad, and dinners were very small.

I kept with the portion control and that was the first time I started seeing kgs going down on the scale.

Give us a quick overview of the training and exercise plan that you followed during the challenge.
