Alicia Casas Vallve is Spanish. She lived in Zurich all her life and has been living in Neuchâtel for four years. She is the mother of four adult children and, at 60, is full of enthusiasm, energy and drive. She speaks fluent German, Spanish, Italian and French and has always worked in sales. Alicia currently works for a marketing agency and on a partner project of La Vuelta del Mundo that shares her experience of healthy eating, particularly with people who are slightly overweight. As Christoph’s partner, she has helped improve many aspects of our courses, especially those relating to healthy eating. After several illnesses and operations, her iron will and a change in her diet helped her lose 24 kg in four and a half months without ever feeling hungry. After another accident, Alicia gained ten kilos again. By changing her diet once more, she managed to lose a further seventeen kilos. Since then, she has been able to maintain her ideal weight easily. Alicia’s secret is not just her nutritional knowledge, but also the creativity, enthusiasm and commitment with which she brings plenty of variety to a rather restrictive diet.
