“First, for me the encouragement to keep going, to not quit when I haven't been able to do what was prescribed has been huge---overachiever madness creates sabotage when unchecked with human kindness. Second, the switch in diet--the information, the science to support a new way of eating is finally allowing me to see results---hunger is low and less insistent, I am slowly losing weight even with low to moderate activity levels so far. Third, I am recognizing more of the body sensations that come with food, like carbs and sugar provoking addictive eating. In contrast to past observations made sporadically during a fast, or my own efforts to eat well, this is a WHOLE process I can integrate it into---I actually feel, and know I am creating healthy patterns for eating for the rest of my life. Every day.”

“Your belief in me, your commitment to my journey through this program, your patience and unfailing encouragement when I go astray, your weekly check-ins, your ability to simplify the "whys" of each step into concepts I can grasp, your continued trouble shooting to seek solutions to my individual struggles in the program, your slowing the pace of introducing each step to only what I can handle in that moment, your integrative approach to my well being from so many different angles and directions, all of this personalization you created is what helped me through this journey. It is because of all of these personalized aspects you incorporate into this program that I have found the strength, and ability to continually renew my commitment to the process. As a result I have found success not just in weight loss, but in feeling healthier, more energetic, more resilient, and overall just happier than I could have imagined feeling when I started the program. I could have attempted this program, the diet, the exercise regimen, etc., the same processes, without you. However, I know I would have never achieved these results without your guidance.”

“What has been helpful to me has been having a structured plan. So even when I fall off I can hop back on and feel confident in what I'm doing. Your responsiveness to questions and concerns is very helpful and comforting. In a world where it takes forever to get an answer or even connect to customer service, your timeliness in responding has been very helpful and reassuring. Your positive attitude, your compassion, and your wisdom are helping me learn to be "okay" with myself and to continue working even when I have setbacks”
