My sister lost 18# in less than 2 months....

My Sister lost 18# in less then 2 months….can you?

Really, she did! And I'm very proud of her!

It wasn’t magic and I’m sure it wasn’t easy. But, she did it anyway! Janet didn’t use some quick weight loss pill, magic “diet” or have any kind of medical procedure! She did it the old fashioned way…..eating healthy!!!

Are you surprised by that? I’ll bet someone reading this will still find an excuse or reason as to why that won’t work for them. But, I assure you, it can work for you, too!

Janet made her decision to change the way she ate and wouldn’t you know it…she lost weight! A funny thing is, she didn’t think her eating habits were that bad before! They were, but now the foods she eats are helping her body work better instead of making her body just function.

Here is a quick overview of the changes Janet made to help her lose 18 pounds in less than 2 months.

· Cut out Salt
· Cut out processed SUGAR (aka the devil!) except natural sugar in the form of fruit
· No Alcohol
· No Caffeine (I know this one was hard for her)
· No Preservatives…another biggy
· Increased water intake to 1-2 quarts daily.


Janet says “I eat food as close to the natural form as possible. For instance, I will eat the grain instead of bread. I mostly have taken the philosophy that if I can't theoretically go outside and grow it, gather it, shoot it or fish for it, I don't eat it. Yogurt, olive oil and flax seed oil and small amounts of cheese excluded. “

Wow! Sounds like a pretty healthy way to eat. Eating the right foods can help you feel good , have more energy and prevent disease. Stop with the excuses and make changes today!

Keep watching my blog because in future posts I’ll talk about how some of these changes helped her lose weight beyond just a negative calorie balance.

Good luck in making your own changes today!
