For years, I tried to lose weight, but most of the diets I followed never fit my lifestyle. As a makeup artist and makeup instructor, my daily routine is intense, with long working hours and constant movement. This made it very difficult to follow a strict or predefined nutrition plan.
Every time I tried, it felt like I had to adapt my life to the diet — instead of the diet adapting to my life.
When I started GLP-1 therapy, I wanted a tool that would help me properly monitor my nutrition and support the process in a scientific way.
balantia became that tool.
By using balantia alongside my treatment, I was able to track my nutrition accurately and maintain control. This helped me build a new relationship with food based on understanding rather than restriction.
So far, I have lost a total of 20 kilograms, and I continue my journey with stability and confidence.
The most important thing for me is that this time it doesn’t feel like a temporary effort. It feels like I have found a way that I can maintain in the long term.
balantia has become an essential part of this journey, giving me the ability to continue with confidence and control.
Comment from the balantia Scientific Team
Haris’ case highlights the important role of dietary monitoring during therapeutic interventions such as GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy.
Using balantia alongside modern treatment approaches enables accurate monitoring of nutritional intake and the provision of personalized nutrition guidance, supporting steady and sustainable weight loss while ensuring adequate protein intake to help preserve muscle mass.
Through the balantia nutritional framework, nutrition dynamically adapts to the user’s needs and the body’s physiological response, supporting not only weight loss but also the protection of lean body mass and the development of long-term, sustainable eating habits.
