How Vicki Shed 24 Pounds in 10 Weeks and Eliminated Meds Eating Optimally

Vicki Barnard was 70 years old when she asked me to help her Shed Pounds Sustainably.

She was put on a diet as a child, dieted her whole life and then fast forward to 2024.... she had diabetes, kidney disease, awful vertigo and had excess weight she wanted to lose.  Eating just meat and veggies wasn't working for her.  She wanted to end her lifelong struggle with dieting AND she wanted results...

She wanted to get off insulin, eliminate some of her medications, avoid a kidney transplant and she wanted to shed pounds sustainably so she could move more and enjoy her life.  BUT she didn't want to do an unhealthy diet.  She wanted a sustainably lifestyle change that she liked AND that actually worked.

Well, I'm so glad she didn't give into the limiting belief... "I'm too old... what's wrong with me that I haven't figured this out yet?"  If you act on that thought, you won't help yourself.  I'm so glad Vicki didn't listen to that critical voice.

Instead, she hired me as her Nutritionist.  And look what she accomplished in just TEN WEEKS of eating optimally! Vicki.... 

• Shed 24 lbs without buying products, pills, counting or weighing food. 

• Eliminated long-acting insulin. Yay for getting off medication!

• Eliminated her statin medication too because her total cholesterol dropped to 99 mg/dL! Amazing!

• Nearly eliminated her vertigo!  It’s SO much better now that it’s safe for her to exercise again!

• IMPROVED her kidney disease lab results! 

• Knows she can eat optimally for the rest of her life and loves what she's eating (my favorite).

Listen to Vicki Barnard share her story in her own words by listening to my interview with her here. 

She's an amazing woman and I'm SO proud of her!

Cheers to shedding pounds sustainably in a healthy, lasting way AND never giving up on yourself. 

I'm so glad Vicki didn't!

Wanda Lost 70 Pounds in a Year and Reduced Medications With Optimal Eating

I am SO proud of this woman...

Wanda Norris has been a client of mine for 15 months. Look what she accomplished with Optimal Eating for her self and her health. It’s truly inspiring and impressive especially in a #covid world.

In 12 months Wanda...

✅ lost 70 pounds and has kept it off over 15 months

✅ Went from a 4XL to an XL

✅ reversed her GERD. It’s gone! She’s no longer in this pain everyday.

✅ Eliminated a blood pressure medication (she doesn’t have to take it anymore!)

✅ Cut another blood pressure medication in half

✅ Can use a two step folding ladder to maneuver in her house for the first time in YEARS

✅ Boosted her confidence and how she feels about herself inside and out

Wanda is a nurse and is 61 years old. She’d tried many diet programs and meal replacements in the past to lose weight but nothing had worked long term. Which was frustrating for her because she’s a nurse.

As she says in our interview, Wanda knows she’ll eat optimally and continue to improve her health for the rest of her life...

Wanda loves the food she eats, she doesn’t count calories, points or portion control. She eats multiple times a day until she’s satisfied.

Why I avoid avocado for weight loss

I LOVE avocado BUT there’s a reason I personally limit it and have most of my clients avoid it.

Watch today’s Take Control Tuesday episode to learn why limiting this healthy food is a positive step for tightening your waist line 🥑️

Remember, just because a food is “healthy” doesn’t mean it will help you lose weight (in a healthy, long-term way ) or help you get off meds.

Once you’ve watched answer today’s Take Control Now question in the comments...
