Starting is half the transformation battle won, believes 2023 USN Body Makeover Challenge female winner, Nqobileh Tenza.
“Starting my weight loss journey was the most challenging part of the whole process. I contemplated whether I should embark on this journey because it meant making significant changes in my life.”
Like many people, Nqobileh admits that she was comfortable in her little bubble. “The fear of stepping out of that comfort zone held me back.”

Taking the leap
But she is glad she took the leap because she realised just how much she can accomplish when she commits. Through her journey, Nqobileh has realised the incredible power of discipline.
“There were days when I didn’t feel like going to the gym, but I always managed to drag myself there because, deep down, I knew it was the right thing to do. I desperately wanted to improve my eating habits because, despite training intensely, my diet was hindering my weight loss progress. And the USN approach helped me ”
For Nqobileh, the USN Dietfuel Ultralean meal replacement shake was a real game-changer in helping her sustain a more nutritionally balanced lifestyle.
“Its well-rounded nutritional profile contains a blend of proteins, carbohydrates, fibre, vitamins, and minerals, which is like having a complete meal in a convenient shake. This means I can manage my calorie intake while still getting all the essential nutrients my body needs.”
