Getting into a healthy lifestyles is what most of the people are getting into these days, especially for career-oriented, young professionals who are quickly going up the corporate ladder.  Yet onerous work demands, never-ending deadlines, and the hassles of the daily grind can make you easily forget your promise to stay healthy and fit.

Five determined corporate warriors showed that it is possible to stay on the road to health and fitness without having to miss a beat at work. Angeline Cuabo, Arsena Suco-Hussin, Rodrigo Pablo Vivo, Mark Gil Magday and RennieDykam Jr. bested hundreds of employees during the NESTLÉ FITNESSE 14-Day Summer Challenge, held in 10 offices from February to April, by learning to manage their weight and achieve a healthy lifestyle with the NESTLÉ FITNESSE 14-Day Program.

Angeline Cuabo, a 26-year old call center agent, shares that having a worthwhile goal creates commitment. “I have tried a lot of weight management regimens in the past but ended up just over spending without any result. After trying the NESTLÉ FITNESSE 14-Day Program, I can say that I finally found my partner in achieving my goal to have a healthy body.”

Mark Gil Magday, 25-year old insurance specialist, says that seeing immediate progress in just two weeks motivated him to complete the program. “The highlight of the challenge was when I started to lose weight progressively. The obvious changes in my body motivated me to continue on until the 14th day. I was very glad that I achieved my goal to lose 11 pounds.”

Arsena Suco-Hussin, a call center agent with two kids, lost 6.6 pounds with the Summer Challenge. She was motivated to adopt a healthy lifestyle to avoid obesity, which runs in her family. “It’s encouraging and at the same time, fulfilling, when people notice the results of the NESTLÉ FITNESSE 14-Day Program,” shares Arsena.

For all the winners, discipline was key. Rodrigo Pablo Vivo, a 47-year old BPO employee who lost 10 pounds, shares that he tried hard to stick to the program and watched what he ate. “When I joined the NESTLÉ FITNESSE Summer Challenge, I told myself that everything is all in the mind. I strictly followed my routine – a daily 30-minute cardio exercise and complied with the suggested meal plan of the NESTLÉ FITNESSE 14-Day Program. The program is simple but you have to be 100% disciplined.”

Rennie Dycam Jr., a 28-year old senior consultant, saw the challenge as an opportunity to return to his healthy and active lifestyle. Rennie shares that back in college, he was a dedicated gym-goer and a healthy eater. However, he stopped due to the demands of professional life. His dedication and commitment during the NESTLÉ FITNESSE 14-Day Summer Challenge resulted in a 6-pound weight loss. “NESTLÉ FITNESSE 14-Day Program is pretty simple. You just have to follow the meal plan and incorporate exercise into it. Thanks to NESTLÉ FITNESSE, I was able to return to being fit and healthy,” said Rennie.

Brand ambassador and long-time consumer of NESTLÉ FITNESSE, Laureen Uy, also shares that having NESTLÉ FITNESSE for breakfast and snacks has helped her stay healthy and fit. “There is a saying that a well-toned body is 30% made in the gym and 70% made in the kitchen. At the end of the day, it still goes down to the kinds of food that we eat. How can you go wrong with NESTLÉ FITNESSE? It’s made with whole grain, it’s low in fat, and it’s delicious,” she enthuses.

The NESTLÉ FITNESSE 14-Day Program is especially designed to help individuals manage their weight in just 14 days. Have NESTLÉ FITNESSE with non-fat milk, a fruit plus your usual coffee or tea during breakfast, eat a healthy balanced meal for lunch, enjoy a piece of fruit or low-fat yogurt for snacks, eat one bowl of NESTLÉ FITNESSE with non-fat milk for dinner, and you are already on your way to having a healthier and fitter self in just two weeks.

“The NESTLE FITNESSE 14-Day Summer Challenge is part of Nestlé’s efforts to promote nutrition, health and wellness among employees,” says Joie Macatula, NESTLÉ FITNESSE Consumer Marketing Manager. “We are happy to have helped these individuals to shape up this summer, and we hope that they will serve as inspiration for others to also work towards healthier lifestyles!”
