What I absolutely love is hearing how these products are changing lives, and I mean really changing lives. I just came back from a convention in Las Vegas and the stories I heard there had me in tears. We heard about Fibromyalgia patients that couldn't get out of bed in the morning gaining their lives back after just a few short days. I heard from a mother of 3 that had debilitating migraines which were so bad, she would throw up nearly every single day, but would have to battle through to take care of her children. She has not had a migraine in 8 months since she started these products.
If you are reading this and you can relate, or you know of someone that needs help, please think about contacting me. There are a lot of people that need help, they just don't know where to turn!
I want to introduce you to Joe.... I met him in Vegas and I was completely inspired by his story. He totally doubted these products. He only purchased them because his good friend wouldn't get off his back!!! He completely thought he was going to send them back because there is a 100% empty bottle guarantee. Well, take a look at Joe... he lost 70 pounds in 9 months and he has kept it off!!
I just convinced my husband to try an 8 day round. Today is day one. I am doing it with him since I still have about 10 pounds that I would like to lose. I can't wait to share his progress and his before/after pictures. He is not a large man, but his metabolism has slowed down and he has some love handles and a slight belly that he would like to get rid of! 8 days should do it.... stay tuned.
Not just for weight loss
Please read this story about Marie!!
Now, let me know if I can help you or someone you love!!!!
I have struggled with my
weight all of my life and I believed I always would until I tried this program.
I watched three of my friends lose weight, (all three lost more than 20
pounds in their first month), and keep it off before I really considered trying
it for myself. The event that really pushed me to take this leap was getting
very sick and beginning to accept that my life as I knew it was going to be
changed forever and feeling very hopeless about my future. I wanted to try
this system because I wanted to lose weight but even more I needed to try a
different approach to healing and I had heard that this might help me get on
the road to recovery. In the end of January, I was diagnosed with Adult Onset
Stills Disease and Fibromyalgia. I was hospitalized for almost a week because I
had a fever over 102 degrees for more than two weeks and then suddenly began
experiencing much more severe complications. I spent the next six months
suffering from frequent high fevers that lasted for weeks at a time, extreme
pain all over my body that was so bad that sometimes I would cry all day. I was
on very high doses of steroids and a wide variety of pain killers and anxiety
meds to try to control the symptoms but nothing was working. I was beginning to
believe that I was going to spend the rest of my life in excruciating pain and
was sort of becoming swallowed up by that fear. I believed my last option was a
drug that requires giving myself a shot every day and comes with some very
serious potential side effects and I was really afraid.
Since
that didn't sound so great, and at the encouragement of some very close friends
and family I decided to learn a little bit more about natural remedies. My
friends tried this program first and had great results and they said that they
had met people who were able to get off insulin, blood pressure meds,
anti-inflammatory drugs and other ones because of this system. Trying to learn
all about living a whole foods, natural, organic super healthy life style from
scratch by myself in a hurry was proving to be frustrating. There were
some things I needed to cut out of my diet immediately such as artificial
sweeteners, GMO foods and others and I didn't know where to begin. Since I knew
this program worked for real people that I knew, they use all natural, non-GMO
ingredients and the company offers a money back guarantee to lose 8 to 15
pounds in 8 days, I decided to give it a try. I figured I could do
anything for 8 days, even if it was awful and really difficult, but to my
surprise, it was wonderful and easy!
I
noticed a difference right away when I started the program. I lost 8 pounds in
just the first four days. I wasn’t hungry at all and by day 3 three, I was full
of energy in a way that I haven't felt since before I got sick. All of my pain
is gone and I lost 12 pounds and 12 inches in my first 8 days! I started this
June 10th, 2013 and as of today I am down 22 pounds and 24 inches and still my
pain has not returned!
I’m so
incredibly thankful that I gave this a try. I feel like it truly has saved me
from a lifetime of pain, medicine and doctor visits, not to mention feeling
uncomfortable in my own skin. So, I’m sharing the info with as many people as I
can so maybe I can inspire more people to try it too.
High Protein Fried Chicken
This is going to be a short, quick post..... but I have to share this with you.
I am really trying to cut out unhealthy carbs from my diet and I love fried chicken, so the two just don't mix. I found this recipe on a friend's Facebook page and just thought I would pass it along!!
Here is the picture:
And here is the recipe:
Fried chicken that is healthy and oh so yummy. Enjoy!!!

Here is the picture:
And here is the recipe:
- Blend 1c almonds in a blender or food processor with 1/4c parmesan cheese.
- Blend until it looks like bread crumbs ( I like the almonds to have some small pieces in it).
- Add in any seasoning you like.
- Dip chicken into almond crumbs.
- Cook in pan with either a tsp of coconut oil or spray. About 4-5 min on each side.
Fried chicken that is healthy and oh so yummy. Enjoy!!!
My family!!
I am just so pleased and happy that my family is joining me on this journey to get healthy!! I guess when people start seeing results, they want it for themselves and that's what's so beautiful about these all-natural products that I am taking; they work for everyone and for all kinds of reasons. I am going to share a few success stories with you today.
I am just so stinking proud of my newest before and after pictures. I am sorry that I didn't post a whole lot towards the end of my last 8 day challenge, but we went on a mini-vacation up north and there wasn't wireless internet available in our condo (I was totally freaking out by the way!) I began using these products on April 21, 2013 and this picture was taken July 11, 2013; so a little less than 3 months!
I am so ashamed and embarrassed by my before picture, but it is going to be my constant reminder that I cannot let myself get back there!!!!
My mom joined me at the end of May. She has always been a small, petite woman, but she still felt like she wanted to lose a few pounds. I am absolutely amazed at her pictures. This is true proof that this system is a fat burning system, because she didn't lose a lot of weight, but check out all the inches she lost especially around her waist!!! (oh and her cholesterol dropped from 220 to 190 in about 6 weeks!)
Now, I don't have any pictures of my cousin, but I still have to tell you her story! She began these products less than a week ago to help with her menopausal symptoms; especially hot flashes and night sweats. She has had them for 12 years already and told me that she has tried everything and nothing ever works for her. She purchased some of our products to use strictly for these reasons; she doesn't have any weight to lose!!! What got her to try it was our money-back guarantee. She figured she didn't have anything to lose. If the products didn't work, she could send the empty bottles back for a full refund. WELL........ after only 4 days she reports that she still has some minor warm flashes, but she doesn't have any more night sweats and she has actually been able to sleep without a fan blowing on her!! How amazing is that??
The most recent family member to try the products is my baby brother; well, he's really not a baby, but he will always be younger than me and he never lets me forget it!! My brother has Type 2 Diabetes and, even though he doesn't have a lot of weight to lose, he's got that guy belly that he just can't seem to get rid of. He just completed his first 8 day challenge and take a look at his results!!

9 pounds and 2 inches off his waist in just 8 days!! |
Day 3 and 4 done!
Anyway, I hopped on the scale today and I am happy to report that I am down a total of 5.5 pounds since Sunday. That is only 4 days on these fat burning products!! I am amazed and thankful and relieved that I finally feel good about myself. I only have 8.5 pounds to go until I reach my goal! And to me, that feels attainable.
I do have to tell you that I went shopping yesterday. I hate shopping. Yes, I am one of those women. I usually have to drag my daughter to come with me because she has some fashion sense, where I have none. Anyway, I was looking for a long skirt for a trip to Vegas at the end of July. So, I found one and went into the dressing room. Now, dressing rooms for me are usually an awful place to be. For some reason I always look bigger in a dressing room mirror than I do in my own mirror. I usually get so disgusted with myself that I run out of there and don't buy anything. Well, yesterday was different! I took my pants and shirt off and glanced in the mirror and thought, "Wow, I look pretty good!" I haven't felt that way in a dressing room in a long time (probably close to 10 years). Here is a picture of the skirt I bought!! (Please excuse the unmade bed in the background. My husband would kill me if he know I posted this picture!!)
Oh, and I have to tell you that I love day 3 on this program!! I get to eat a 500-600 calorie lunch and that food tastes so good after the 2 days of detox!! I ate about 3 ounces of chicken, a whole wheat tortilla with some hummus, a low fat string cheese, some veggies with the hummus and an apple! That was a lot of food and we are told we HAVE to eat it!!! That's what I love about this. It's not a diet, you will not starve yourself, but you will lose a lot of weight and a lot of inches!!! Just amazing.
Now, onto something I just discovered and I am in love with!! We know that we can order whatever we want from Subway. But, did you know that you can go online and customize your sub and get the nutritional information specific to your sub??? I just did it because I am going to have Subway for lunch today. Take a look at my sub:
Click on the picture to see it larger! |
If you look closely, my 6 inch sub is only 330 calories!! And if you paid attention to my day 3 lunch, I have to eat 500-600 calories, so I still get to eat more! I am thinking maybe some low fat cheese and some yummy fruit will taste great as well!!

Day 2 and Protein in Vegetables??
Yesterday was day 2 on my 8 day challenge. So, I hopped on the scale this morning and was down another 2.2 pounds. That's 4.4 pounds gone since Sunday. Can I get a whoop whoop???
I am also about 1/2 way done with the 30 day squat challenge and I can feel the difference. My rear end is smaller and lifted a bit. I actually had to go buy different size bathing suit bottoms because the ones I had from last year were way too baggy!! That has never happened to me before. I have always carried my weight in my rear end (I take after my Grandma!). I even had a student tell me a few years ago that I was too white to have such a large butt!! (kids will say the darndest things, right?)
Here is a picture I found that had me laughing out loud, literally!! I hate back fat and I am so glad that mine is gone!!

Did you know that you can get a lot of protein from eating dark green vegetables?? I knew they were good for you, but I had no idea that some of them have more protein than meat. Take a look at this picture!
Today is my day 3 on the program and I just love day 3. I get to eat a 500-600 calorie lunch, which is huge when you are eating healthy. I definitely have to say that one of the things that I love about this program is that I am never hungry!!!! That was one of the reasons that I couldn't do Weight Watchers. I always found myself hungry!!
I hope you continue to follow me on this journey!
Day 1 Completed
I began this challenge yesterday, which would be considered day one. I weighed in at 158.8 pounds. I am being brutally honest so you can all see the progress that is made during an 8 day challenge.
Many people wonder about being hungry all the time. Let me tell you that I am almost never hungry and if I am, I just eat more protein. This is how my day unfolded:
Many people wonder about being hungry all the time. Let me tell you that I am almost never hungry and if I am, I just eat more protein. This is how my day unfolded:
- breakfast- protein shake made with our lean protein powder mixed with our super juice and unsweetened almond milk
- mid morning snack- 30 small pieces of shrimp fried with a little oil and Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime seasoning--- yummy!!
- lunch- another protein shake
- mid-afternoon snack- 5 ounces of turkey tenderloins baked in the oven
- dinner- protein shake
- before bed snack- extra protein (fish this time)
When I woke up this morning, I weighed 156.6 pounds. So, in one day I lost 2.2 pounds and by stomach is much flatter than it was yesterday.
Stay tuned.........

Happy belated 4th of July!!
I am about to jump start my metabolism by beginning another 8 day challenge. It has been about 2-3 weeks since my last 8 day challenge and I have put a few pounds back on.

- turkey breast (cooked in oven or crockpot)
- lean steak (or lean ground sirloin)
- ground turkey for turkey burgers

- eggs
- Mrs. Dash seasonings (fiesta lime is great on fish)
- low carb, whole wheat wraps or bread
- lettuce
- avocados
- lemons
- hummus
- vegetables (I usually just stick to celery, cucumbers and zucchini because they are easy)
- decaf tea (preferably green tea)
- water (lots of it, you will drink half your body weight in water)
- greek yogurt (carbmaster; without a lot of sugar)
- low fat cottage cheese
- low fat cheese
- fruit (berries are great, but I also buy some small apples as well)
I am sure I probably forgot some things, but this is the essentials. Your diet will be mostly lean proteins because we want to level off you blood sugar levels and teach your body how to burn fat instead of store fat!!!

Health Benefits
My transformation got jump started by using all natural supplements to turn my body into a fat burning machine. I did two 8 day challenges and lost 12 pounds, but more importantly, 15 inches. I lost 5 inches around my waist alone!!
Now, when I began taking these supplements, I thought I would only lose weight. I did not realize that they are designed to take the toxins out of your body, increase your energy and decrease inflammation. I was diagnosed with Lupus 17 years ago and I have battled fatigue every since. My doctor even prescribed my thyroid medication to help with my energy levels. I am happy to announce that these products have given me my life back!!!
I wanted to share with you some of the other health benefits. We all know people that are overweight and unhealthy. If you are reading this and you are curious as to how you can change your life or the life of someone you love, fill out the contact form so I can get you the details!!!
