Nutrition
Testimony of the Day
“I have tried so many diets in the past. I will admit I was one to be fooled into thinking that the popular “low fat” diet was the way to go. I can certainly agree with you and say that it’s not! After cutting fat and calories from my diet, I found myself losing weight (one pound a week if I worked out a lot). Eventually, though, I would feel deprived and depressed, and gain it all back. In addition, I was noticing my hair thinning a ton! I started seeing my doctor about my hair thinning over a year ago. She did a blood panel and then sent me to see multiple specialists. I’ve probably had one appointment every couple of months for a year, and still I have no answers; I haven’t been directed to take action in any way either. That is what really tipped me over the edge to contact you, Maria. I figured I’ve already spent so much time and money not getting any answers. Why not try your way? What have I got to lose?
From our first email, I could tell that you cared enough to help me. As soon as I booked a session with you, we took action (unlike the doctors office). I listened to everything you said and, well, you helped me change my life. Everything you teach just made sense to me and really “clicked.” I started the “Maria way” in October 2012, and it is now January 2013. Since then, I’ve lost over thirty pounds and I’m still losing!
The most important part for me is that all of the symptoms I had when I came to you are gone or are very close to gone. Anxiety = gone. Hunger spikes = gone. Stress levels = greatly reduced. Not to mention, my hair is growing in thicker, healthier, and much faster. My skin looks amazing, too, and I’ve been getting so many compliments about it 🙂 Overall, I feel like a million bucks! From the bottom of my heart, thank you!
