Testimony of the Day
Leah lost 60 pounds from when we started in February! No gimmicks, just eating right! |
“Dear Maria,
I had to write to tell you just how much you have changed my life. When i came to you for a consultation I was at the heaviest I had ever been in my life. I was depressed, and scared for my health. Seeing my Mom go through a stroke at age 57 , I guess you can say “scared me straight.” I had been checking out your blog on and off for quite a while before I finally decided that I HAD to make a change, and I felt compelled to seek out your help. I was nervous, scared, and excited. I had tried so many different methods of weight loss over the years that I wasn’t sure if this was going to work or not. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that my life would be transformed the way it has been because of all you have taught me.
When I first met with you, we found numerous health concerns, besides being obese, I also had a high estrogen level, sinus issues, severe eczema, asthma, intense cramps during my period, episodes of severe heartburn, and gas and bloating. Through all the changes you suggested, and all of your amazing support I am so thrilled to say all of these things have disappeared and on top of that I have lost 60 pounds, and I am still losing! I feel incredible, and I couldn’t have done it, and keep doing it without you. Even after our month has been done you have continued to be my number one supporter.
Whenever people ask how I am doing it, I sing your praises. Many have asked to see before and after photos of me, and when I finally agreed, I was in shock. I knew I had lost the weight, but actually seeing it was unbelievable. I will never let myself get that size again. I not only feel great physically, but for the first time in my life I am happy and confident in my body, and I’m healthy! You not only know what you are doing, you know what people need as far as caring and support. A million thank yous,
Leah

Hi Maria, What kind of Chili Paste (brand, too) do you like with this recipe? We are looking forward to trying out this recipe on Wednesday!
I have yet to find a chili paste without sugar!:( you could use chili powder if you wanted to avoid the sugar… Just an idea.
Let me know what you think!
Happy Cooking!
this recipe is really awesome. my family was eating chinese and i thought this would be a good sub for me. it was really awesome. i will be making it a usual in my line up!
Hi Maria,
Can you tell me if the amount of Tamari sauce is a misprint? I made it as stated, but it was VERY salty.
Thanks
Diana
Hi, yes that is the recipes. If it is too salty for you you can try low sodium tamari or cut it down from the 8 tablespoons. 🙂
This was delicious. As I was eating it I thought that mushrooms would be a good addition, and since the cabbage cooks down so much, I really could have added another head of cabbage as well. But this was really good.
Thanks Nancy! Glad you liked it. 🙂
Yummy dish!!! I made this last night and garnished with fresh grated ginger. I love ginger! I also used Brags liquid amino gluten free soy sauce. My fiance also loved this dish. Since he is not gluten free I gave him rice on the side.
Thanks! 🙂
Lately, I have not been sleeping well and it causes me to eat more the next day. Do you have tricks to avoiding overeating on those days?
Take l-glutamine 3 grams when hunger strikes and go to bed. 🙂
