"The
difference between the Wellness Weight-Loss approach to a healthy
weight and other so-called weight-loss plans is that the Wellness
Weight-Loss process changes more than just the number on the scale.
Wellness Weight-Loss has not only taken my weight to a number not
seen in many years, and done it in a healthy way, but in the process
has taught me why the dozens of diets I've used in the past didn't
- couldn't - work over the long haul.
From
my first session with Kristra it was clear that Wellness Weight-Loss
was different. For one thing she gave me 1200 calories as a minimum
number I was not to go under! Amazing! I'd always thought of that
number as being about all I could ever eat. After all, I had a "slow
metabolism" from my years of dieting!
It's
true that my calorie burning ability was pretty messed up, but I
learned from Krista that my metabolism rate was in my control and
that the Wellness Weight-Loss process would teach me how to revive
it. She measured my percentage of body fat against my lean body
mass. I found my body fat was over 40%. Whoa! Pretty bad, but Krista
said that would change.
She
sent me home from my first session with a book loaded with nutritional
information and a place for logging in my exercise plus my six or
more daily meals. She also gave me a minimum and maximum calorie
count, some general guidelines, a shopping list - and most important...hope.
In
the nine months I've been studying with Coach Krista, I've released
nearly forty pounds of body fat, began walking again, added resistance
training to my exercise program, seen my percentage of body fat
drop to 28%, and learned a way of eating, no, of living, that I
absolutely love. Not bad for a 66 year old with a previously messed
up metabolism!
My
husband recently commented that he felt as if he was living with
a young chick instead of a nice, but slightly overweight, matron!"
