Testimony of the Day

“I found Maria in April of 2012, in my 2nd semester of graduate school. Which was when the photo of my before the picture was taken. My mom had sent me a link to her blog and I immediately started trying her recipes.

Shortly after, I decided to take her health assessment and started a diet plan and supplements she had suggested. Before the Maria Way I was eating over 100+ grams of carbohydrates a day and who knows how much sugar. I was experiencing intense hungry and mood swings when my blood sugar would drop between meals. Less than a week eating the Maria way and I longer had fluctuations in my blood sugar and as a result, I could think clearer! But then the stress of graduate school kicked in and I began returning to my old eating habits. In January of 2013, I attempted to start eating the Maria Way again and even joined a gym.

I’ve lost 25 pounds since January and with my upcoming wedding, I am working hard to meet my weight loss goals. I still struggle to stick to the diet on the weekends but I hope to update Maria with my after photo this spring!” -Emily
