Meral works with clients who are struggling to stop eating junk food, fast food, sweets, carbs…whatever the weakness. It takes time to change habits and there is no trick to stopping except for putting down the fork, snack or dessert.

Meral says that keeping track of calories, ingredients, fats, salts, sugars, carbohydrates is important while training. Healthy food is an important part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and controlling weight. Weight loss and maintenance is food-driven and important.

Your body reacts to healthy food and meals which are different for everyone.  With today’s hectic lifestyles it is very challenging to eat right. But what you eat determines whether you’ll be fit. You cannot workout and expect miracles if you’re not taking in the right foods. You can’t starve yourself either.

Meral insists that food is 85 percent of weight control and body sculpting success.

Healthy cooking requires replacing the unhealthy ingredients, substituting them with ingredients that will taste similarly if not better and be better for you.
