At just 63 years old, Judith felt like her health was slipping away.
Gaining weight consistently ever since she turned 40 was starting to catch up to her, despite an enormous amount of physical activity spent every day working on her farm.
Like many of my clients, Judith considered herself a healthy eater. Despite her efforts, even the healthy ingredients she incorporated into her diet were adding unnecessary calories. The supplements she had been taking didn’t seem to be making a difference either.
Judith cracked her glucose spikes and lost 12.5 lbs from an 8-week weight-loss program
The clothes that she once wore proudly were now tight and uncomfortable. No matter what diet she tried, her days left her feeling physically exhausted, and the pounds kept adding on.
When Judith’s doctor advised her that spikes in her glucose levels were throwing her body out of whack, her search for answers only left her with more questions.
Reaching out for second and third opinions from doctors made her feel like an experiment rather than a patient. She was fed up with all the sample treatments, expensive supplements, ineffective diets, inconsistent advice, and dead ends that inevitably came as a result.
"I AM 63 YEARS OLD AND I’VE HAD EXTRA WEIGHT CREEP UP ON ME SINCE MY EARLY 40s. THAT WAS BECAUSE OF GLUCOSE SPIKES AND NO ONE REALLY KNEW HOW TO HELP ME BACK THEN..."
It was time to get some real answers.
Judith’s struggles were not only affecting her self-esteem, but her daily routines and her physical well-being. It was time for her to become an advocate for herself. By reaching out to MasalaBody and signing up for a virtual weight loss coaching, she did just that.
JUDITH WANTED TO LEARN:
- How to eliminate her glucose spikes by leveling and maintaining her blood sugar levels.
- How to pair foods in ways that would activate her metabolism.
- How to lose the weight that had creeped up on her over the last 20 years.
- How to replace supplements with nutrients.
Judith signed up for my online personalized weight loss coaching program and in just eight short weeks was able to gain control of her health.
THIS IS WHAT JUDITH HAD TO SAY AT THE END OF HER PROGRAM:
"THIS PROGRAM HAS REALLY HELPED ME MANAGE MY GLUCOSE SPIKES BECAUSE OF THE ‘PROTEIN MORE’ STRATEGY. THE WEIGHT LOSS HAS BEEN VERY EXCITING!"
JUDITH’S TRANSFORMATION RESULTS
"I WAS VERY TIRED BEFORE. I WANTED TO GET THIS WEIGHT OFF, HAVE MORE ENERGY, BE HEALTHIER, AND WEAR THE CLOTHES I WANTED TO."
Highlights
In just 10 weeks, Judith at 63 years old, lost a dramatic 12.5 pounds – but that was just the beginning!
She also successfully:
- Shrank her waist by 2.25 inches.
- Melted away 2.5 inches from each of her thighs
- Reduced her hips by 2.5 inches.
“MY JEANS HAVE BEEN LOoSER AND I WILL BE GOING DOWN A SIZE HERE SOON.”
Judith was successful in her mission to lose weight, but what the numbers didn’t show was her increased confidence and the endless knowledge she gained throughout the program.
Judith praises the weekly emails, texts, and tracking that have helped her stay motivated and lose weight. Rather than just going through the motions, she was able to make educated choices with her customizable Fat-Burning Framework and learn how to be proactive when progress slowed. These details would allow her to adhere to the program long term – making it a lifestyle!
“Back in 1999, I was walking on my treadmill for 9 hours a day and lost nothing. Nobody (doctors) knew a thing about how to crack this glucose spike thing. They only said to eat crackers. Boy, was that ever wrong!”
After our first one-on-one meeting, I dug deep into my knowledge of how the body processes food (which I gained through my Molecular and Cell Biology degree). Then, I pulled details from my years of researching nutrition, body health, and diets from across the globe to create a unique framework for Judith.
Then, I pulled details from my years of researching nutrition, body health, and diets from across the globe to create a unique framework for Judith. Starting at 181, Judith's weight came down quickly and steadily, after being stuck for over two decades!
With my Fat-Burning Framework, I customized a manageable and sustainable plan that aligned with her unique preferences and busy lifestyle. Even her love of whole milk and beef were incorporated in! At every meeting, we reviewed what worked well, and improved on what didn’t so that we could optimize every moment in her 8-Week Slim Down Jumpstart program.
The secret to Judith’s success was consuming more protein and pairing foods in ways that would help regulate her blood sugar. Throughout her eight weeks, we transitioned to fresh, natural, and unprocessed foods while gradually reducing most of her supplemental intake.
Since Judith was a generally healthy eater, besides cutting out some sweets, we focused on adjusting portions and pairing foods in ways that would work together to burn fat 100% of the time.
"I’M IN MY SKINNIER CLOTHES, INCLUDING THE RED DRESS I AM WEARING."
In our last one-on-one, Judith proudly wore the dress that had been hanging in her closet, untouched for too long. She was hopeful that one day she would wear it again, the question was how would she get there. With MasalaBody it only took eight short weeks.
With Judith’s phenomenal focus, her progress was inspiring and the reason I had to share her story.
