For almost 7 decades, Patty effortlessly maintained a healthy weight due to her active lifestyle. Her athleticism and consistent physical activities kept her in shape. However, following a year packed with overseas traveling that included extended periods of driving, indulging in delicious foods, and sipping fine wines, she noticed the numbers on the scale creeping up. Despite returning to her gym routine, she grew concerned when shedding those pounds didn't happen as quickly as she anticipated.

As someone accustomed to freely utilizing her body in activities such as running, swimming, and yoga, she felt confused by this change. Fed up by her failed efforts, Patty sought guidance from Masala Body. She desperately needed advice on how to effectively lose weight, keep it off for good, and reclaim the confidence she’d always loved.

“I WASN'T SURE WHY I WAS STARTING TO GAIN WEIGHT BUT I ENDED UP BEING THE HEAVIEST I HAD EVER BEEN.”

Since Patty started my 8-Week Slim Down Jumpstart program at a lower weight, achieving her weight loss goals (with minimal exercise) was actually a very personalized process– especially since she couldn't pinpoint what she was actually doing wrong! To effectively shed the pounds without regular exercise required the expert knowledge and guidance that came from a personalized online weight loss coach. In the end, Patty’s determination to regain control of her body combined with my expertise and advice, Patty surpassed her goals effortlessly!

Within 8 weeks, she shed 8 pounds, trimming 2.5 inches from her waist and hips, and losing inches overall!

“I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY EXCEPT THAT I GUESS I'M SURPRISED… I'M SURPRISED THAT WHEN I STEP ON THE SCALE, I COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH I LOST! I HAD TO GO TO THE GYM SCALE TO MAKE SURE.”

As MasalaBody and Patty began to piece together the issues that were leading to her unforeseen weight gain, she was able to take action. Not enough protein, too many carbs, and a few too many glasses of wine, Patty learned that she needed to reset, refocus, and get back on track.

The process began with Patty making simple changes such as learning how to:

Discover tasty, fat-burning combinations on her own.
Easily shop and cook while navigating a stressful move and unpredictable routine.
Combine ingredients and create proper portion sizes that would keep her satiated while also shedding fat.
Supplement exercise with a diet that would still produce results.

“I'M IMPRESSED THAT I'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO THIS. I’M NOT SURE HOW IT’S WORKED FOR MY BODY, BUT THAT’S WHERE I RELY ON YOUR CELLULAR MOLECULAR BIOLOGY BACKGROUND.”

Sticking to her fat-burning framework while leaving room for indulgences of the foods she adored, including wine, made the 8 weeks more manageable. She appreciated the fact that she was eating more than ever, especially loads of protein (and still being encouraged to eat more!), all while seeing visible results. Even during her occasional cheat days, she maintained moderation and avoided overindulging.

“I WAS TELLING MY FRIENDS THAT YOU FOCUS ON UNDERSTANDING WOMEN'S BODIES AS THEY AGE AND THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO USE YOU– THERE'S SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN AMISS FOR ME.”

When Patty came to MasalaBody, she didn't know what to think– she had never faced this kind of adversity before. She was surprised to hear that what she was doing was packing on the calories and more shocked that little tweaks to her routine would be the missing link. She learned that she wasn't eating poorly, she just needed to start eating smartly. Now, when Patty signs up for that pickleball class she’s been eying, she’ll be able to proudly greet her teammates with her new body and rediscovered self-esteem.
