A lot of ways on how to lose weight are spreading now in the net, particularly on Facebook. You will see different weight loss pills and health supplements being offered, juicy smoothies to promote cleansing and easy fat removals. One should note that, losing weight is not just the problem, but as how your body metabolism works and finding ways how to maintain the ideal weight for you.
The thing is, not all diet programs may work for you. You have to be careful in selecting which best suits you and your system. Here’s Ethan Manzano, a 29-year old certified public accountant and audit manager, to share with you an inspiring story of his weight loss journey.
“Two years ago, I used to weigh around 205 lbs., “ he said. “It was about that time that I agreed to try Naturhouse Philippines, which was just about to be formally launched then.”
Ethan Manzano before the diet program
He admitted that it might take some time before he could lose the 20 lbs. that he hoped to lose. However with patience, passion, drive and determination, he was able to achieve his ideal weight of 175 lbs, which is proportional to his height of 5’8”.
He recalled during his college days, he had a fit body when he still had the time to play basketball and engage in other physical activities. When he started to work, he noticed that his metabolism slowed down and his busy schedule made it difficult for him to engage in sports. His stressful environment also proved to be the reason why he turned to eating as a way to come with stress.
Ethan Manzano now after the diet program
Good for him, he was able to discover food supplements of Naturhouse, a global brand with more than 2000 outlets worldwide . Naturhouse was more than a food supplement. With the aid of their personalized nutritionists, Ethan was introduced to a healthier lifestyle.
Every week, while Ethan was on the weight-loss challenge program, he was told to engage in physical activities like brisk walking and jogging and to strictly follow a diet regimen which was changed every week, depending on the results of his body to the diet.
For the first week, he only ate fruits, vegetables, cereals, white meat and drank two liters of water every day. These and with the help of food supplements in the form of tablets and liquids provided for him by NaturHouse that week and with exercise, Manzano lost 5 pounds in just one week. Amazing!
In the second week, his diet was almost the same and he was given a new set of supplements. On the third week, he was allowed to eat fish, pork and beef with less oil and half a cup of rice during lunch. Finally, on the fourth week, he was allowed to eat anything and everything, albeit in moderation. On the last day after he was allowed to eat anything, he was asked to take a crash diet of just eating three mangoes or a big watermelon for one day. The following week, his diet was back to normal where he could eat anything in moderation with the right food supplements from NaturHouse.
“What makes NaturHouse unique from the other weight-loss centers in the market is that it is not only a food store but it provides a personalized service based on the clients’ body weight or structure,” says Rick Cabanban, Natur House Philippines Project Leader.
NaturHouse, located at SM North EDSA in Quezon City, provides the client with the assistance of a licensed dietitian and nutritionist inside the store who gives a free assessment.
“They create a personalized diet plan and recommend the food supplements based on the assessment. These nutritionists tailor-fit the diet and the supplements based on the needs of the clients and they don’t believe in single supplement. They encourage variety, ” he explains.
Consulting a nutritionist at NaturHouse is free of charge. Usually, a nutritionist at a medical center who will give you a diet plan will cost you around P1,500, that’s for a trial program only.
“It is expensive to consult a nutritionist, but now it can be achieved. Our target markets are B and C. During the cost of the method or program system, say the problem is four kilos overweight, we guarantee .6 to one kilo loss weight. So another two months for stabilization (maintenance), that would cost roughly P1,125 per week. That is still cheap as compared to other slimming programs. Here, you just spend 15 minutes per week to a nutritionist who will recommend you the right products,” he says.
Filipinos are really health-conscious. However, they don’t know the food supplements to be considered. “Most of us have the tendency to self-medicate. Sometimes we starve ourselves and when we don’t see the results, we get frustrated. In Naturhouse, the nutritionist calls the client to check. If there’s any problem, we restructure everything,” Cabanban says. Naturhouse also encourages its clients to eat five meals a day. During maintenance period, the client goes back to regular eating method.”By that time, the clients’ body has already gotten use to eating in small portions and everything in moderation.”
A global health brand with more than 2,000 outlets worldwide and over four million clients, Natur House has finally reached the Philippines, the foreign company’s first venture in Asia. It is also planning to open 140 stores nationwide, either company or franchised-owned.
One of the best-selling products at Natur House is the Garcinia Cambogia food supplement from the highest quality plants in Asia which contains an extract called Hydroxcitric Acid (HCA) which blocks fat development by inhibiting the enzyme ATP citrate lyase from converting carbohydrates into fat. When we eat too much carbs and sugars, the body just puts these away as fat. The fat-making process is halted by the HCA in Garcinia Cambogia. Cholesterol is a result of having too much sugar and fat in one’s diet,” said Cabanban.
“Our price range is comparable with other food supplements in the market. The idea is we have the same objective but to get a free nutritionist is an added feature. Natur House does not require any franchise fee when you want to open a business selling our products. Our advocacy is healthy eating and provide jobs for nutritionists,” adds Cabanban.

Oh to find a weight loss program that is “hiyang” to oneself!
It is always good to know of all possible options to safely lose weight.
This is a good news and a nice option to people like me who wants to lose some weight.
Thanks Mommy Levy! It’s a good thing that we have a lot great options coming out now 😉
Mommies, after having kids, would really love to go back to our pre-kids figure. I’m one of them. Thanks for sharing this option. 🙂
I like how the program is set up and I am sure that it will definitely help those who are needing to lose weight. And having a nutrionist is definitely plus since of course eating healthy is going to make sure that you lose weight in the right way. 🙂
I so need to lose weight. After 3 kids I’ve packed on some pounds. Thanks for sharing these supplements. It’s definitely something to consider.
Now that was one effective program! I wonder if it works for me, too. I’ve been wanting to lose by pregnancy fats but I find it really hard to lose the flabs in my tummy area.
I want to lose weight, but I’m lazy to exercise! I think this inspired me to try the product…hehe
I have been trying to lose the after birth weight. I hope I will be able to shed those extra luggage away. I have to agree that not every program works on all of us. But will recommend this to others. 🙂
I want to lose weight but I couldn’t seem to find the right product for me. Hihi. I will check this one out.
Alaine, this might be the product you’re looking for 😉
Kakainspire si Ethan a! I need ( hindi lang want!) to lessen my food intake ( kahit rice muna) and do regular exercise to start my health project. Sabi ng isang friend ko, mahirap na raw magsimulang mag-ayos ng katawan at kalusugan when you turn 40. Naku, 2 years na lang ang meron ako. Go! Go! Go!
Yeah, indeed he is! Not too late sis, I see others whose more than 40 years of age and they still manage to do it 😉
After giving birth I always check for something that would help me to loss weight but I think I can’t do the diet and excercise.
Are you on breastfeeding? They say it also helps, I can attest to that after I gave birth to my 2 kids. But you have to watch out because the more you give milk, the more you get hungry so cravings will surely increase. The good thing about them is that you will be able to have a nutritionist and dietitian to guide you
I can recommend this to my friend. Pero for me discipline is still the key.
Yeah, your friend might want to check on NaturHouse. I agree! Like Ethan, without discipline we can’t have the shape we want 😉
I’m scared of dieting pills especially when they advertise in facebook baka fake. but thanks for this tip maybe i’ll try it 🙂
You’re welcome Rona! Yup, me too. I do not want to take those advertisements without thorough research and checking first.
Naku, diet do not work for me. I eat what I want in moderation and keep burning calories by doing cardio exercises – running being my favorite! May be it depends on each one of us, on what will work best for our body.
Good for you sis! Yeah, it also depends how our system will absorb them 😉
Yes, careful lang talaga on what you take in.
Thanks for agreeing with my thoughts!
I’ll make a mental note of this. The thing with people like me, mothers, who would like to shed fat, is that of being able to find a program that would not also “shed off” the energy -since this is crucial with every moms. Thanks for this.
You’re welcome Sis! Yeah, that’s another thing that we really have to consider 😉
Galing ah! I want to lose weight too but I’m hesitant to take supplements. Takot ako sa mga side effects in the long run. I have friends naman who have tried HCG drops and Plum Delite. Ang laki din ng pinayat nila. Me naman, I want to try juice detox 🙂
Thanks Sis Erlaine! Yeah, the side effects are really scary. You and you’re friends might want to try NaturHouse’s program as well so you can talk to their nutritionist and dietitian first 😉
gosh, di ko kaya mag-diet, I love to eat too much! 😀 but yeah it’s great that they customize their programs, otherwise it might not be safe
Hahaha! Same here sis!
I think there are many who are interested talaga to lose weight, like me. The problem sometimes is, like for me, I always read that while you go on the program, you need to have a healthy lifestyle, like eating healthy, exercise. Parang parehas nalang palagi. Maybe I just wanted to see someone to document talaga what happened to him or her during a program.
Nice blog! It’s really easy to get fat and VERY hard (and costly) to loose weight. So we have to be very cautious on where we will put are trust.
Losing weight is hard for me…hahaha…I also agree that not all diet programs will work for us. Good thing there are natural food supplements like this product. 😀
The one I’ve been hearing a lot about now is Isagenix. I’ve not really tried any of these diet programs, although I’m looking into the 13-day reset program and will just wait first for our annual checkup before I decide. But thank you for the information, at least there’s another one to note of among the many options we have now in the market. It’s wise to go for one that has a nutritionist and dietician behind it like this one 🙂
I think it is worth the try though I am really scared of the thought. Hehehe. I prefer the exercise – the old way but it’s tiring. Heheheh. Bakit ba kasi ang hirap pumayat?=)
That’s amazing! If this product works for many people, then it must be worth trying. In my case naman, I’m not looking for supplements yet because I’m focusing on clean eating pa. 🙂
Looks like a great and effective product!
besos,
M

It’s good that the program includes a nutritionist. Hindi yung basta inom lang ng Diet pills. Wrong diet can cause muscle loss instead of fat loss so kailangan talaga exercise pa din.

I agree there are so many weight loss ads in Facebook and we should be discerning. Not every diet pill comes with nutritionists and that’s what people who wish to lose weight need.
Yes Sis, we really have to be careful! That’s the good about NaturHouse ! 😉
Nice read! I’ve been reading a lot about Garcinia Cambogia. It seems to be “trending” lately.
Thanks Sis Nicole! 😉
I agree, nowadays there are so many weight loss products and programs but you have to be extra careful because not all will be good to you. Hiyangan din.
Yes Sis, we have to research more about the product first before using them 😉
Sounds like a logical plan. I still want to trim 4 kg more actually. I’ll keep an eye out for this one.
