Introduction
We didn’t expect to change our lives completely. But when my partner Dorian hit 161 kg and became seriously ill from food poisoning, we knew something had to change. What started with a simple list from Harvard became “My London Diet” — a homemade meal plan that helped us lose a combined 83 kilograms without fad diets, pills, or extreme restrictions.
Our Wake-Up Call
Dorian was in pain, physically and emotionally. At 161 kg, he had trouble breathing, knee pain, and constant fatigue. Still, he worked every day on construction sites. After his illness, we looked at each other and said: “This is it. Something must change now.”
Learning from the Best — Harvard & Beyond
I enrolled in Harvard Medical School’s online nutrition and lifestyle courses. I also studied programs at Wageningen University. We didn’t join a gym. We didn’t count every calorie. We went to the kitchen. Every night, I took what I learned and put it straight into our kitchen.
We learned:
How to read ingredient labels
Why cooking at home changes everything
What healthy portions really look like
That weight loss isn’t about restriction — it’s about nourishment
The Results Were Immediate
Within the first week, the weight started coming off — slowly, steadily, and naturally.
We weren’t hungry, and we didn’t feel punished. We just felt better. And every week, 0.5–1 kg was gone.
In total, Dorian lost 62 kg. I lost 20 kg. And we never felt more energised.
The Magic? Homemade Food.
We made homemade bread, cooked everything ourselves, and didn’t rely on shakes, fast foods, ultra processed or delivery apps. The secret wasn’t a diet—it was a return to real food—cooked with love and eaten with purpose.
Now We Teach Others to Do the Same
We launched My London Diet to share what we learned. We’re not doctors or influencers — we’re real people with real results. If we did it, you can too.
Conclusion
Weight loss doesn’t have to be a punishment. It can be healing, joyful, and nourishing. My London Diet is a lifestyle—built in our kitchen, tested in real life, and proven to work.
