Limitless Training & Nutrition LTD - South Shields

Debbie Howgego

Life before joining Sam’s program was an ongoing battle of struggling with emotional eating, obesity and depression. Feelings of desperation, frustration, anxiety and a succession of failed attempts to control my eating habits, to lose weight and keep it off. This was my life for well over 42 years. I would lose some weight but immediately put it back on, plus some !! I think I must have tried every type of diet going, weight watchers, slimming world, cabbage soup, Keto, paleo, shakes but to name just a few. All restrictive and many boring, flavourless and not sustainable.
I have spent thousands of pounds on weight loss pills, potions, gym memberships, coaches and exercise equipment that would end up gathering dust or becoming something else to hang clothes on.
I came across a post from Sam on Facebook and there was something about the way he talked about recognising emotional / binge eating that was so different from other people. This was not another food obsessive diet plan. For the first time this was not about the food, it was about realising why I was using food in the way I was to try and make me feel better about myself, but failing miserably.
At first I was in two minds if this approach would work as losing weight is all about the food … isn’t it? That’s what had been drummed into my mindset for so many long years.
I listened to some of Sam’s videos and really liked his honesty and realising that he had also been through some tough times and that he wasn’t afraid to show his own vulnerabilities was very refreshing. It felt like Sam was well qualified to help me as he had “been there and got the t-shirt” so to speak. I arranged a call with Sam, and on chatting to him he really put me at ease and I just knew I had to work with him.
This has been one of the best decisions I have made, although I did find it difficult to adjust to start with. Learning that my eating habits were related to unresolved childhood traumas and not just because I was greedy was extremely eye opening. With Sam’s help and support and that of the Facebook group, I have learned how to change my mindset and a new approach of having other coping mechanisms to hand when feeling overwhelmed, stressed and an overwhelming urge to binge. I now understand the difference between emotional eating and binging. I am so proud of my achievements so far, in the last six months I have not had a single binge and I have lost an amazing 57 lb in weight. I am now able to enjoy food without having any feelings of guilt or shame. I don’t feel the need to use food for comfort, I eat to fuel my body not my feelings and I am able to stop when I am satisfied. My energy levels are higher and I know what I need to do to raise them if they dip.
I would definitely recommend working with Sam, if you are thinking of joining, my advice would be to go for it and give yourself the best chance of changing your mindset for the better and becoming the person that you were always meant to be.

Sam delivered an awesome workshop to our gym members. Jam packed full of information, he really got us thinking about the link between food and our emotions. When we struggle to stay on track it can be easy to blame lack of will-power or motivation but Sam helped us look at the bigger picture and gave some great advice and strategies we could implement straight away. Thought-provoking and empowering it was a really positive experience for our members. Thanks Sam!

Sam delivered a keynote session on Emotional Eating to my students as an evening masterclass. The session was informative, professional and well planned, offering students fantastic insights into the world of emotional eating on both a personal and professional level. Sam was warm, approachable and took time to engage students as well as answer questions. Feedback from students was excellent. Thank you

The three months working with Sam were the best three months of my life. With guidance and knowledge from him I found structure, stability, a community and good mental health. I would need far more than a paragraph to share the impact this course had on me, both physically and mentally lol! Please just do it, you won’t regret it.

At the beginning of this year I was so low that I didn't go anywhere, didn't do anything, had no hobbies and had lost touch with my friends. I had nothing to look forward to and spent my days sitting watching netflix and binged almost every day. My weight was now out of control, getting bigger and bigger every month. I was desperate and by chance one day saw Sam on one of his Facebook posts. What he said really hit home with me and made so much sense. After failing for decades with Weightwatchers and Slimming world I was open to trying a different approach. I decided to get in touch with Sam and not trying to sound dramatic he's literally changed my life.
After joining the programme I soon realised that I wasn't broken and there wasn't any wrong with me....I'd been using food to fill the voids in my life (an act of self soothing). My mindset changed and the daily binges happened much less frequent. I'm now half way through the programme and my life has changed so much. I now regularly see my friends again, rediscovered hobbies I used to love and do my morning walks every day. I've already lost 2 stone and have no doubts that I'll succeed to my weight loss goals because I now have the tools and mindset to get me there. I no longer have a problem around food and no wish to binge eat.
If you struggle with your eating habits and need help I can't reccomend Sam enough. He's so supportive, committed and knowledgeable to help you turn your life around ....you won't regret it.

Working with Sam inside the Food Freedom program has been the single best investment I've made for ME, my mental health, wellbeing, personal development, growth ,mindset change and changing my limiting beliefs and behaviours around food which had kept me stuck for decades. Diets DON'T work unless you address what's going on in your head (behaviours/ limiting beliefs).

Before joining the program in November 2023 I had poor mental health following burnout in May 2023, I was suicidal ,I was 2.5 stones heavier, binge eating, didn't move my body at all (no exercise) had no dreams or aspirations and more importantly I had no life or daily structure.

Since starting I have been able to lose weight, keep it off, not put weight on, no more yo yo dieting or binge eating, improved my mental health significantly, addressed many demons (trauma) from my past which kept me stuck in behaviours that didn't serve me, they were familiar but very harmful, I came to realise through working with Sam I had lived the entirety of my life pleasing others, therefore not living authentically or honestly but geing a slave to my need to be liked, to fit, in, accepted and valued. External validation DOESN'T work and it bit me hard to the point of wanting to end my life. I am no longer a slave to these harmful behaviours. I have purpose and structure to my life now, I put myself first, in order to meet others needs I have to meet my own first. (airplane oxygen mask)

The best part of the program is Sam's knowledge ,support and commitment to his clients, his unwavering belief in his program and methods that has outstanding results. Sam's no-nonsense approach works 100% for me. Within the program we have our community, fellow people on the same journey, maybe at different stages but the care and support we give each other is priceless, knowing we are not alone.

I would recommend this program to anyone who has difficulty with losing weigh, poor or unhealthy eating habits, poor relationship with food, tried all the diets and not got lasting results, has poor mental health, has demons from the past they can't get past, or struggles with addiction, Sam's methods will 100% work.
Sam simply is your man.
