New year, new resolutions, right? Perhaps a new diet or workout plan in hopes of a beach-perfect body by summer time? Why not try a new way of taking off those excess pounds, and KEEP THEM OFF!!!
I had always been a tiny girl, no boobs, no butt and no fat...until I started getting older. Combine not knowing how the hell to cook anything except mac n' cheese or ramen noodles with the allure of 21-year-old drinking 4 nights a week, and after a few years of that kind of lifestyle, suddenly my waistline wasn't quite as trim as it once was. Before I knew it I was up over 200 pounds...and hating the way I looked. I knew it was time for a change, so my hubby and I started eating better and signed up at the gym. After about 6 months, I had dropped 25lbs and was starting to feel better about the way I looked, but I had hit a plateau. We tried diet after diet and with no real results, and I began to get discouraged. I just couldn't seem to find a diet I could stick to! My mom works at a hospital and several of the nurses had started a diet plan, Mend-A-Body solutions, and the results were not only noticable but amazing, so my parents jumped on board. After the first week, they began to noticably drop weight, mainly around their midsection, and within 2 weeks the transformation was enough for me to start asking questions. I thought if my parents, in their mid-40s, could make losing weight look so insanely effortless, there MUST be something to this!!!
My husband and I started Mend-A-Body together just 3 weeks before going on a Caribbean family vacation, and by the time we left, we had both dropped almost 20lbs. We ended up staying on the diet for the most part while on vacation and came back another few pounds lighter. Once home, we continued the Mend-A-Body plan and added in some workouts at home and within a few months I had reached my goal weight of 145lbs and my husband was within 15lbs of his goal weight. My cholesterol, usually always a concern, dropped several points into normal range and my husband's blood pressure improved greatly. Over a year later, I have not gained back the weight as I had with any other diets I had tried, and I am excited to recommend this amazing diet to anyone out there who is looking to switch to a healthier - and happier - lifestyle.
Now, I will say that this diet is not easy. It requires dedication and a good amount of prep work for your meals and snacks, but the results are so worth it. If you plan to attempt the Mend-A-Body system I would highly recommend doing so with a friend or loved one. It's so much easier to stay on track with a buddy who can kick your butt on the tough days, to celebrate with you on the amazing, I-lost-HOW-much-weight days, and can be the key to keeping you in line with your eyes on the prize (hellooo, the skinnier YOU!!).
Mend-A-Whaaaat? WTH is Mend-A-Body?
Mend-A-Body is a low-glycemic, low-inflammatory plan which focuses on whole body inflammation by using one-on-one coaching, healthy food choices and a line of supplements that work to help you feel great and lose the weight. It begins with a period of strictly protein, water and supplements, then progresses into phase 2, which includes protein with vegetables and moderated fruits, plus the supplements. The further into the program you get (and the closer to your goal weight you get), the more you are allowed to add back into your diet/meal plan. The program maintains a very structured meal plan, which requires 3 meals and 2 snacks each day, making it a priority to EAT!!! Imagine that, a diet that doesn't ask you to go hungry to lose weight!
