This program was recommended to me by a trustworthy family member. I was a bit hesitant to get started because of fear of the impact on my daily routine and food.. However, that fear was unfounded - after only a couple of weeks on the program, I've lost over ten pounds and my mental and physical energy levels are significantly higher with minimal impact and changes. One of the primary reasons I think this program is so effective is the knowledge my provider gleaned from my labs, which allowed her to recommend supplements specifically targeted to my needs. Also, I attribute a lot of my success thus far to being able to maintain the plan consistently. This is due to: 1) the plan is explained in detail upfront so there's no unexpected "surprises" after starting, 2) the program sends daily recipe suggestions, which are easily adaptable to fit my particular tastes while meeting the plan's intent, 3) I'm asked to track my weight daily to inform my provider (and only her), which serves as a motivator for me as well as a way for her to keep up with my progress. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, my provider gives encouragement and lets me know how she thinks I'm doing and thoroughly answers my questions. Like I said, I'm barely into the plan at this point, but am happy so far and will update my progress as I approach the finish line!
