At age 65, Ellen's extra weight left her feeling exhausted and frustrated in her daily routines and on the pickleball court. Initially trying every fad diet she could find, Ellen saw the same results; She would lose weight fast, and then pack it back on just as quickly. Even when she found herself fasting and not eating much of anything at all, the scale just wouldn’t budge. She needed tips on meal planning, but also how to eat out well and plan for events, which she frequented. She knew it was time for a change and she was ready to transform her yo-yo dieting by changing her mindset and lifestyle for good.

Ellen discusses her life-changing journey with online weight loss coaching

Ellen's Online Weight Loss Coaching Results

It wasn’t until Ellen discovered Masala Body and the results other women like her achieved, that she started to feel hopeful. Unlike other weight loss programs, Masala Body’s 8-Week Slim Down Jumpstart program and personalized online weight loss coaching was less intimidating and more manageable with sustainable results. After week 7, Ellen shed 7 pounds, lost 1.5 inches in her bust, and 2 inches off her waist and thighs.

Ellen started slowly by initially changing just one meal a day. Instead of skipping breakfast like she had in the past, she now ate a simple, nutrient-rich breakfast first thing in the morning. As the program progressed, Ellen felt motivated– eating tremendous amounts of food, feeling full, and losing weight that didn't come back.

“THE 3 POUND WEIGHT LOSS I ACHIEVED JUST BY CHANGING MY MORNING ROUTINE JUST BLEW ME AWAY AND THAT’S WHAT HOOKED ME.”

Surprisingly, Ellen’s favorite part of the program was not her extraordinary results, but rather the toolbelt of knowledge she had accumulated throughout the 8 weeks. Instead of getting a long list of foods she couldn’t eat, she was educated on what she could. Ellen learned the value and benefits of carbs, macros, proteins, fats, spices, and how to add them into her daily diet. She learned about changing her mindset and the value of timing meals to help burn fat. It wasn’t just about making good choices, but understanding why the choices she made were good.

“I HAD TO DIGEST THE PROGRAM SLOWLY, NOT BINGE FOR ONE WEEK.”

Even more importantly, however, Ellen’s confidence is found in the weight loss tools she’s gained throughout her time with Masala Body. She knows that whenever she’s ready to tackle her next weightloss challenge, she’ll be able to reach those goals– and that it’s possible while eating the foods she’s always loved.

“I FEEL LIKE I’M NOT HURTING MY SYSTEM ANYMORE. I GET TO EAT ALL THIS TASTY FOOD AND THAT LEAVES ME SATISFIED.”
