Nineteen Nutrition Questions With SIMONE PRETSCHERER (nee Anderson)

Having struggled with her weight for many years, Simone made a decision to change for good. In 2014, using social media purely to keep her accountable, she posted her first photo. Simone shared everything candidly and as her weight decreased her followers increased. Her 92kg weight loss gained Media attention, with extensive coverage both nationally and internationally including publications like The Huffington Post, The Daily Mail, Elite Daily, Fashion Quarterly, the NZ Herald and TVNZ to name just a few. In 2015 Simone was interviewed live by Tyra Banks on her talk show, The FABlife. She also graced the October 2016 cover of Good Health magazine. Simone has recently written her own cookbook ‘So Delish!’
