How Diane Shed 52 Pounds at 68 Years Old and Got "the Real Me" Back
/Diane came to me at 68 years old after seeing a picture of herself and thinking…
"Whoa, I need to do something."
She was over 200 pounds, her joints ached, and for a year and a half she had been eating her way through grief. She felt like she had let herself go and to quote her…
"I had just ballooned up so much that I just thought someday I'm going to just explode.”
Before hiring me as her Nutritionist, Diane couldn't…
Get up off the sofa without scooting to the edge of the seat and shifting to lift herself up.
Get out of her son's truck easily.
Keep her balance while putting on her pants.
Think clearly through the brain fog. It was easier to just sit.
Go without compression socks for her swollen ankles.
Eat without heartburn or bloating afterward.
Leave the house without feeling "sloppy" in her clothes.
She told me…
"I had let myself go and I wasn't sure how to get the real me back."
She knew she had to do something. So when my information came across her Facebook feed, she booked a chat with me, and hired me, Nutritionist, Trisha Mandes, to help her shed pounds sustainably.
And within her first 7 days of eating optimally, her joint pain went from a 6 out of 10 to a 1 out of 10, her brain fog lifted, and she was getting up off the sofa without even thinking about it. She was down 8 pounds in her first 8 days!
"When you get results in one week that you can see, even though they're baby steps, you don't even have to wonder. It's like, this is working. I can do this."
And that's exactly what she did.
After one year and one month of eating optimally (a sustainable lifestyle change), Diane…
✨ Lost 52 lbs and reached her goal!
✨ Joint pain went from a 6/10 to a 1/10 in her first week, and it stayed gone.
✨ Gets up off the sofa and out of her son's truck with ease.
✨ Has better balance, and her brain fog has lifted.
✨ Her ankles are no longer swollen, and she doesn't need her compression socks anymore!
✨ No more heartburn or bloating after eating.
✨ Bought a size small top and is wearing size 14 pants!
✨ Wore a two-piece bathing suit for the first time in almost 40 years!
✨ Felt happy and proud at her 50th high school reunion.
✨ Went on a week-long vacation without gaining
✨ Is line dancing again and is now "light on her feet"
"I've never been this successful with any program in my lifetime. Not just the weight loss, but feeling better too. I was just thrilled because I thought I might get back to the real me. And I did. I did. I did."

That is Diane at 68 years old after one year and one month of eating optimally with a sustainable lifestyle change.
No detox, no starving, no special food, no counting points, no separate maintenance phase.
She learned how to eat optimally in a way that works for HER body, her taste buds, and her life.
If she can do it, you can do it too.
