Meet Anna
The Weight-loss Champ
Anna had phases - from finding comfort in food, unable to resist food at social occasions, losing a few pounds & packed on a few more, to facing loads of trial and error with her body.
How did she quit yoyo-dieting for good, lose 25kg, and become CircleDNA’s Health Coach Community Lead today?
We have teased you enough - Anna's full revelation is out now! Read on for her transformative story.

“I couldn’t wear hot pants - my thighs would hurt from chafing.”
Anna had always been a chubby kid. Well-loved by friends and colleagues, her chubbiness never bothered her until she became more self-conscious of her looks and lifestyle as she grew up.
Back when Anna worked in the finance industry, food was her everything: Her stress relief, her socialising tool, her only pleasure. Consequently, she weighed 77kg in her 155cm petite body frame, making up an astounding 35% of body fat.
That prompted Anna to attempt various diets and programmes: keto, fasting, juicing, or even spending over USD 10,000 in one go for fitness training - you name it, Anna tried everything. But none of these diets had sustainable effects. Worse, she only ended up yoyo-dieting and packing on a few more pounds again.
Her wake-up call? Her leggings.
With trials and errors, Anna got very frustrated with her quest of losing weight. Often she got disencouraged by those in her circle. She recalled some said she was “setting up for failure” or “wasting money”.
What really shook Anna at her core was one dress-up event at work, where the dress code was black. Of her entire wardrobe, Anna found out that the only piece of black garment that her body could fit into is a pair of black leggings.
Forget about "party queen" or "boba princess" as her friends would call her. That devasting moment was when she realised she was beyond different from other girls - she found herself unable to blend in. But at the same time - like a blessing in disguise - Anna was determined that she was never going back to yoyo-dieting. This time, she was serious about losing weight once and for all.
“My mom once said it doesn't matter how much money you make, if you don't have the ONE in front of all the zeros. Health is that one for me.”
KNOWLEDGE IS EMPOWERMENT
By chance, Anna was introduced to try DNA testing. With CircleDNA Premium's 500+ reports, Anna confirmed her suspicions: she was "born fat" with an inherited obesity trait from her mother, allergic to alcohol like her father, and sensitive to carbohydrates.
With these crystal-clear key indicators, Anna could easily map out her nutritional diet and workout plans, such as going for low-carb diet, choosing carbohydrates that have low glycemic index, replacing her personal trainers' explosive workouts with low-intensity-more-reps plan.
Not only did the exome sequencing genetic test allow Anna to know herself better, it enabled her to lose weight without rebounding for the past 3 years.
Meet the New Anna
Anna may have learnt it the hard way to treat her body right, but along this challenging journey, she figured out a few things by herself - becoming a certified nutritionist and monitoring her DNA-based diet wisely. Today, her experience and insights serve something bigger.
Now leading the Health Coach Community at Circle, Anna is a living success story sharing her nutritional expertise and personal tips with those who want a great relationship with their health and diet.
If Anna can be empowered by hacking into her genes and finding out what is right for her, why not you?
Anna made it,
