Testimony of the Day
“Good morning Maria, I had to share some exciting news with you! This morning I weighed myself like I always so and for the first time in over three years, I weighed UNDER 200lbs. 199!!! It’s been three and a half weeks since I started eating your way and reading your metabolism book. I just got your assessment over the weekend and finally just got all the supplements in the mail yesterday. I have lost 24lbs in 3.5 weeks but most of all I feel incredible and have a healthy happy relationship with food that I have never had before. I know this is just the beginning, but I had to share my milestone with you! I had many days before I found you that I thought I would NEVER weigh under 200 again. You have given me hope and empowered me to take back my health. Thank you!! With my warmest regards, Shauna”
holy yum!!
also, have a question for you . . . i just read your new book “secrets to controlling your weight, cravings, and mood” and loved it. but i am curious about the neurotransmitter assessment, you write “add up your totals, which area is low?” – however I am unsure what you mean by “low” – if I have more trues than falses, is that low?? or is it a certain # of trues that would indicate I need supplementation?
thanks for any clarification!!
Yes, if you have more true answers in one area, I would supplement. Sorry about the confusion!
Thanks so much for your support!
Thanks Maria!
i seem to have alot of trues in all areas . . . YIKES!!
