Weight Loss Testimonials

Dear Pat,

I just want to tell you how excited I am. After 9 days on the Atkins diet I lost 7lbs!! I am as enthusiatic today as I was the day I started and I am beginning week 3.

I don't feel hungry and my energy is at an all time high! I have made the commitment to do this for myself and I feel that I will be very successful.

Two of my co-workers want to start the Atkins diet as well. I think they see the change in me.

Thanks for your support,

Cheryl

A BIG hug for Pat,

Would have sent you a picture --- but didn't know if you would accept any graphics due to virus screening...

Anyway, I wanted to give you a BIG hug! Just received the results from my blood test:

Total Cholesteral: 185

HDL 59

LDL 105

Triglyceride 124

First time everything is normal!

Was: (Jan 2007)

Total 258

HDL: 63

LDL 158

Tri: Not sure, but doctor had said I had to get this down. In 2005 was 216 ---

Yes, I do take Lovastatin, but the doctor had wanted me in January 2007 to start taking Vetia also. I told him I would diet and to give me until April 1st. I didn't want to take anything more that might hurt my liver.

WE DID IT!

Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!

My first big goal has been accomplished. Now, I will continue to diet to I get to the weight I want (and of course to continue keeping my cholesteral in check).

Dear Pat,

The first week was very easy. I loved the shopping list that came along. I had the orange roughy last night and it was good. I am having the salmon tonight. I have lost 5 pounds on the zone. Thanks for all the help.

Great Diet,
Things are going great! I have actually lost weight however I was given this diet by my doctor because of my high cholesterol. I spent a lot of time at the grocery store looking at the labels this week, but now that I'm getting use to what to buy its getting easier. I do not eat breakfast so some of the breakfast meals I have substituted for my lunch and dinner. This is not as bad as I thought it would be - the food actually taste great!
Julie

Pat,

We're finally feeling better and have been on the diet for almost two weeks. Eating better gave me the push I needed to start exercising on a more regular basis (eating better and the fact that spring is almost here and I won't be able to hide under sweaters and jackets) so things are going well. I've lost about three pounds and am looking forward to losing more. I don't feel deprived on this "diet" like I have on other diets. Thanks for your help.

My husband and I have just begun our third week and we are doing well. I have dropped 5 pounds and he has dropped about 8. Diet has been easy to follow and recipes are good. We hope to see continued success as the next few weeks progress.

Lorraine & Dave

Hi Pat,

I am quite pleased with my results so far. I have lost 8 pounds and I am right on track with the program. I'm excited to strart the 2nd portion of the program. I havn't been working out but now that I have more energy I will begin to take afternoon walks. Thank you so much : ) Renee

Hello Pat,

I just wanted to give you my 1st week's progress report on the High
Protein Vegetarian Plan. The plan itself is very easy and the recipes
are simple.(thank you). I like the shopping list a lot - my suggestion
would be to maybe group the items (i.e.) veggies/fresh herbs all in
one section, dry herbs in a section, all the frozen...etc. I found
myself all over the grocery store! It wasn't a huge deal, just a bit
overwhelming. At the beginning I had a few headaches - I think it was
due to carb withdrawls! Now for the exciting news....I lost 8 pounds
in 6 days! It was the encouragement I needed. I'm trying to lose 30lbs
for my September wedding which is my main motivator, other motivators
include my fiance, family, friends, and co-workers. I believe that
when people know your goals - whatever they may be - it keeps you on
track. I'm looking forward to week 2! I'm even getting used to the
veggie juice ...sigh...Talk to you soon!

Thanks for that great email Michelle. It is letters like yours that keep me
going:>)
May we use it in our testimonial page?
Pat (nutritional counselor)

Sure! No problem! I have referred this site to a few of my
friends....I think that Diet 4U actually teaches you a a healthy
eating lifestyle instead of "Here is some Pre-Packaged Food/Liquid and
once you Lose the Weight...You're On Your Own!" So thank you.... M

I love the menu. Thank you so much. This is how I love to eat. The apricot muffins are great and the Lentil soup is the first recipe for lentils I've ever like,. The soup was thick when reheated, I added a small amount of barbeque sauce and they tasted like baked beans.

I am 62 years old, F, 5ft 3 in, and weigh 140. I have been stuck at 140 pounds for a year and can't lose the 5 pounds I'd like to get off. Part of the reason was late night snacking.

Thanks for the great program

To Pat
I have gone down a size I am starting to fit into my skinner clothes. This is the eastest vegetarian plan I have been on. I am hardly ever hungry and I feel just fabulous!! I am so grateful that I have found this diet plan. I am so excited to go to week three!! Thanks Pat for all your support
Pam

Dear Pat,

My name is Tara Demorest, I am 19 and have been on the vegitarian high protein diet for two and a half weeks! In that time I have lost 19 lbs.! I have really been enjoying the diet for me it is more of a lifestyle change than a "diet." Thanks for all the support!

Tara
Fruit Heights, Utah

Exercise, basic Mediterranean ingredients, correct
portions, and strict calorie counting (1500 daily) has
helped me lose 8 lbs in the last few weeks. I
currently weigh 188 lbs., which is actually less than
the ideal weight of 190 for my height as a 6'2" male.
However, I prefer to be healthily "underweight" with a
goal of 175. I am sure I will achieve this goal by
Spring.

Thanks to you and Diet4U for the diet recommendations
and inspiration, helping me to rediscover the health
benefits of my favorite cuisine.

I have just completed 3 weeks ( a full 21 days ) of the Atkins diet plan you have posted on site for me, I have lost 18 pounds in 3 weeks I am starting my fourth week on mon the 27th of sept, my goal is to lose a total of 40 lbs, almost half way there. I feel great much more energy, I am 6' 3" and a former 235 down 18 pounds from that my goal is to hit between 190 and 200 lbs and stay there, with this plan it surely is easy watching what you eat is just learning a new habit, never once was I hungry. I have avidly been working out for 25 yrs and still continue my workout routine during this loss of weight.

thanks

Sorry I did not reply sooner. I am doing very well as I
finish week three on the Atkins Diet. I've lost about 10lbs. Today I almost
fell back when I saw the scale enter into the 150lb zone. I
have not gone there since elementary school. It's an
awesome feeling, and very encouraging.

This plan has been a lot easier than I thought it would be.
My cravings are almost non-existent, and I don't feel
hungry all the time. It's been wonderful. Just what I
needed to get me motivated again. Thanks!

Hi Pat!

Just wanted to drop you a quick note and tell you that things are going VERY well following The Zone. This I have to think is the easiest plan I've ever followed...and believe me...there have been many! I've already lost 4 pounds in the first week alone and seem to have more energy at the gym!

Thank you!

Cindi

Dear Pat,
I am going into my second week of The Zone. In 7 days I've lost 9.5 pounds. Wow! What is this all about? I haven't been able to go under 220 for 6 months. All the sudden the scales have dropped. I even ate at my Son's college banquet last night. I tried The Zone before and didn't understand what I was doing. This plan has put things in perspective. I am looking forward to this next week.

Thanks again,

Dear Diet 4U

I just want to tell you that I started your diet in September 03 and in the first 6 months I reached my goal. I lost 15 plus pounds and have kept it off. I have changed my eating habits and still enjoy the foods I love, like pasta, occasionally with no effects. I highly recommend your diet. I have tried so many things in the past and nothing seemed to work. I am over 40 and exercise was not doing it for me alone. I did not have a lot of weight to lose but nothing I did prior seemed to shed the pounds like your diet. I am very cautious as to what I eat now because I feel and look great.
I totally love your diet plan.

Thank you

Lorrie

Hi Pat,
I have just finished my third week and am happy to say that I have lost 14 pounds.
I feel really good without carbs - better than I have in quite a while. Anyway, this diet has been most manageable and you have to know I have been on many through my life.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks so much. Joy

Hi Pat!

II have 4 children 5 and under. I have lost 6 pounds this week and am looking forward to next week. I'm excited to go for it though! The meal plans do a great job of providing enough so that I am not hungry or craving for destructive snacks or bad choices. I am enjoying the meal plan food and do not feel like I am missing out!

Thanks!

Hey, Pat, I just weighed myself this morning and I have lost another 4

Good-morning,

I lost another 5#'s the last two weeks, making it a grand total of 15#'s in the last month. Thanks for moving me to healthier foods on my vegetarian diet.

Thank you, Frances

Dear Pat,
     I've lost 11 lbs, thus far( I started late, so
I'm a week behind. I fell of the track once, but I'm
back on. I haven't had this much energy or lost this
much weight in a long time.
    After freshman year of college, I thought I'd
never lose the 30lbs I gained, but I'm on my way. I
never feel hungry on this diet, and it's very
convenient. I think I can stick with this, even after
the planned weeks are over. Thank You.

                                        Thanks Again,
                                       Azizat

I am amazed, my cholesterol is the lowest it's been for years. It's at 178, prev from 220+, triglycerides way down also. I lost a couple pounds also, which is a special bonus.

Thanks, Barb

HI Pat,
The Zone diet is working well for me. After two weeks I've lost 22#. I've dieted all my life and this is the first time I've never "cheated" nor had the desire to do so! It's easy and I feel great. People at work are noticing and commenting how I seem to have more energy. The plan is easy to follow. Thanks for all your help.

I have a comment, I have subscribed to "The Zone" program. I have lost 6 lbs.
I bought the zone system book once and I couldn't understand it, so I threw the book away. So your web site is heaven sent.
I want to think you for your web site. The web site is great and is easy to see my week's and the plans that are for me.
Sincerely, Thank you

Hello.

I have been on your Zone diet for 7 months and have lost the 20 pounds I wanted to lose! I can't thank you enough for making this life style change so easy and healthy. I seem to be able to sustain this weight loss and my energy level is high. I have a sense that my metabolism itself has changed and that I no longer gain weight at the rate I was before. Is this accurate? Is that an effect of making this change in my eating habits?

Thank you. I have shared your website with many of my friends who are anxious to find a successful weight management program.

-Marilyn

Dear Pat,
I have been on the Mediterranean diet now for 1 whole week. I have more energy and it decreased my PMS symptoms. My GYN Doctor recommended this diet. I only had about 10 pounds to lose and I can tell a difference already. This is great and the food is delicious.
Thanks, D

Pat,

I'm sorry I havent gotten back to you to let you know how much I really love this diet. The 1st week I lost 6# and I know I wont continue to lose that much per week but I am consistently losing and feeling very good. I am not a drinker so havent added the wine but investigated and found out you can get the same health benefits from grape juice so I am drinking that with my evening meal. I really am glad I found your site. It's the only one that has the Mediterranean Diet that I could see.........Thanks again.

Pat you would not believe the great results I have received since I started on your High Protein Vegetarian Quick Weight Lost Diet. My weight when I started was 180lbs today is starting my 4th week and I weigh 165 lbs. It has been years since my scale has stopped on that number. I had almost forgotton that my scale went that low. I must add that I have been walking 1 mile three times a week or I would ride my bike if I don't walk.

Thank you for your help. Everyone is saying how good I look. I truly feel better, my back does not hurt as much since I have started losing the pounds.

Thank You

Pat, Just a quick note to let you know that I have lost 9 pounds after not quite three weeks on the zone. Actually my clothes feel like it is more than 9 pounds but that's all that the scale says. But the most important thing is that I am feeling so good! I am not really even tempted to cheat because the junk food has lost its appeal to me and real food is tasting so good that there is no reason to crave anything else. Everyone at work keeps saying how energetic and happy I seem and I have to stop and think why because the zone has been so easy to follow and stay on that I almost forget that I am doing something new. Can't wait to see how great I feel after finishing week six!

Below are three emails from John and Gail. They completed the Beach plan and then went on to the Zone:>)

We (my wife Gail and I) just completed week one of the Beach plan. I lost 10.5 pounds and she lost 13 pounds. That is great for one week, I think.

We really like the diet. It sure gives you plenty to eat. A little time consuming in preparation, sometimes. But, it's worth the effort.

Gail craves her nightly cereal. I crave bisquits and gravy. Ha!

Thanks for your great advice and help,

John and Gail
Bentonville, Arkansas

Pat,

After three complete weeks I have lost 17 pounds (lost 4 pounds in third week). My wife Gail has lost 15 pounds (lost 2 pounds in third week).

We are two days into week four now.

This is a great way to change one's life style. We look forward to pasta and cereal on week five.

Thanks,

John and Gail

We are beginning week 6 tomorrow. After 5 weeks I lost 16 pounds. I actually gained one pound week 5. My wife lost 17 pounds. She also gained one pound during week 5.

I signed up for the Zone Diet and will follow it until we loose the desired weight. Will you be our counselor for that program as well?

Thanks,

John and Gail

Pat,

I lost 6 pounds on the first week of the Zone Diet.

I feel so good about this loss, I am ready to shout.
My wife is not loosing or gaining, but she is preparing for surgery 10-30-2003 and is eating more carbohydrates than I. Proves this plan works to me.

Thanks,

John and Gail

Below is an email from one of our clients that reached their weight goal, and then went on to our Individualized program.

Good Afternoon:

We've have had wonderful results and have referred several people to the site. If we have completed the maintenance program, let me give you the final results. I started on the High Protein Vegi program at 132 lbs ... I am now at 116 lbs. I have held steady at that weight for 3 weeks now. Jim started out on the High Protein Vegi program at 198 lbs and now is at 168 lbs. He looks great and feels better. He will resume his weight training most likely next week. He wanted to concentrate of shedding the fat first.

I wish I had taken before and after pictures, but I was so upset with my appearance I didn't want to be photographed. Jim does have a before picture and will wait until he reaches his body fat goal before taking his after. Perhaps we can send you those when he meets his goal.

Also, if we've completed the maintenance program, I'd like to wish you and everyone at Diet4uonline a Happy Holiday Season!

Blessings,

Patricia and Jim

Dear Pat:
I have enjoyed the Mediterranean Diet immensely. I know that it will be
easy for me to adopt this as a lifestyle. I have lost weight every week.
I am 5'6" and started out at 184 pounds.
I have a big frame and would be happy to lose 15 pounds as my first goal. I want to
compliment your program on its balance and emphasis on nutrition. A
wonderful benefit other than feeling better and having more energy is that
my problem with leg cramps has almost disappeared. I see that for me the
key to weight control is planning - thinking about what I eat and portion
control. When I do that, it works beautifully and I'm not hungry.

Hello! I have been on the Hi Protein-Low Calorie Vegetarian diet now for 9
days and have lost 4.5 pounds. I am so excited and thank you for it! I have
13 more to go! I love the recipes and how they change daily. It really keeps
you motivated so you are not eating the same thing ALL the time.

Pat,
My husband and I are both following your diet guidelines. We are in our third week and seeing wonderful results. I especially like the idea that we spend so much thought on what all we get to eat in a day that there is no feeling of "gee, I can't have that?" We do not feel in anyway deprived and yet we are losing weight and feel stronger and more energetic.
Thanks a million,

Hi Pat,

Thanks. I may it through a whole day without dipping into the hospital chocolate. I work at a hospital and closely with two departments who dole out all kinds of chocolate. My favorite is dark chocolate. Okay, I am a chocoholic. However, I made those Cocoa balls and they were great--I only had one. In fact everything I have made so far has been really good. The quiches were a God send. I was in a rush this morning and I am glad I made them the night before. Guess what I am saying is I think I can live with this diet. Not sure about the boy friend.

Thank you,

Shirlee

Greetings!!
Well I have finished week one and it was surprisingly easy to follow the
daily meals. I really quite enjoyed the variety of different foods and the
best thing is that I've lost a few pounds since starting the Zone diet! This
is too easy!!!!

Thanks!

Pat,
I really appreciate your assistance. We have really enjoyed it. We've definitely noticed a difference in the way we feel, and on the scale! It's been wonderful!
It's been truly nice to have a diet that gives you so much. A lay out of the foods, a shopping list, and recipes. It couldn't be better, well of course except to have it prepare for you! :-) Anyway, thank you very much for everything!

Hello,

Thanks for week 3 meal plans.

I have been doing fairly well on my diet - I've lost 12 pounds in the first two weeks!

I am very pleased about that - I've had to take my trouser belt in by two notches!

Also I am not feeling as tired as I used too - so if this is what I feel like after losing 1 stone then wait till I've lost 35 pounds!

Trouble is I'll have to buy a new wardrobe of clothes...

This is all without doing too much exercise - it's a bit difficult for me at present - I have slight arthritis in my back and also cartilage problems with both knees. I should think the weight loss will help both those problems.

Best regards,

Ken.

Hi Pat.... just wanted to let you know that my father and I have been following the plan. He's lost 30 pounds!!! I've lost 10, I'm glad to finally see results.
Thank you for everything :)

Pat,

Things are great I love this. My work outs are even feeling better. Before I made the commitment to this plan, I was a "carbaholic" bread, pasta, sugar, you name it, I thought I needed it. The foods great on the zone. I feel so much better now. This is awesome and it's only week one.
Always, Heidi
Roc.

I never feel hungry...and I have lost 4 pounds over the last 10 days....the food is great...I recommend it to vegetarians...

Dear Pat, I lost 12lbs since I started my diet, I very happy, I feel great, I look more younger still more to go till I reach my ideal weight. my husband feel the same way.
Thank you Linda, Perris Ca.

This is the easiest thing I have ever done. I have much more energy. I am becoming a morning person. Up very early and ready to go. I am so excited, so is my boyfriend.
The Zone Bars are the best surprise. I have tried others and the are awful. ZONE BARS are like eating a couple of cookies, candy bar. I never can wait for the next bar to come up in my diet. I am passing on the word. "everyone should be in the ZONE!"
thanks you are awesome,

Hi Pat

Starting week three Mon. but the first two week I lost 10lbs. Never before had I been on a diet and not been hungry. I am a 58 year old man at 275lbs 5ft 6in and still gaining weight. Out of control sort of. Other diets never worked and I have try all.

1200 to 1400 cals. a day was what I eat. Lots of energy so I start walking to the music tapes in the house one mile a day, second week two miles and now 3 miles a day at only 108 beats a minute.

Dear Pat,

When I ordered the 'Zone' on line ( for the meal planning and support) I had already been in the Zone for over a week. I bought Dr. Sears's books: A Week in the Zone and the Anti aging Zone. I was tired all the time, unable to sleep due to a constant feeling of anxiety and was having difficulty concentrating. I know I have a busy lifestyle, but have always had enough energy for the things I needed to do, until the last five years or so.

I would be almost too tired to drag myself to work even though I was going to bed earlier and earlier. I saw the premier of Pulse where the Zone was compared to two other famous "diet plans". The woman using the Zone method lost the most and felt the best.

I was only ten to twelve pounds over the weight I feel most comfortable being, but I thought I would give it a try. In less than two weeks, I lost four pounds, but more importantly, I feel almost like a new person. I feel like years have been lifted from me. I thought I was getting carpal tunnel or arthritis. I have hardly any pain and energy to burn. I am so pleased. Also, I haven't been hungry nor do I crave carbs ( chips and dips were my weakness). I wish I could personally thank Dr Sears for the change in my life. I do not see me going back to my old way of eating. My assistant at work is also in the Zone and has had similar experiences to mine. She told me her husband said she is much easier to live with now.

Sorry for the long email, but I am truly excited about the Zone way of life and only wish I discovered it sooner. Thank you for your time in reading this.

Hi,
I am currently working on week 4 of the meal plans and have lost 9 pounds! I am so thankful I started this when I did and have a couple of weeks under my belt as I start into the thick of the holiday season. I am not starving and I am not craving all the goodies. And I love the recipes for almost everything--delicious foods!

Karen
Green Valley, Arizona

Dear Pat,
Thank you so much for all your help. I'm very glad that I found you and
your program. You have given me a wonderful start with my new
vegetarian diet and weight loss program. I really needed help from a
nutrionist to be sure I was getting the proper nutrition as a new
vegetarian. I feel much more confident now. You also introduced me to
some new food items and recipes that I have really enjoyed.
I feel better physically, more active -less sluggish.
So, if you ever want my endorsement, you have it! I
will be in touch at some point to rejoin and get more menus and
recipes.

Sincerely,
Ruth
Clinton Township, Michigan

Thanks so much for the diets that you give us. I had read the book and had trouble figuring just how much to eat. So I saw your advertisement and bought the meal plans. I am 5'2" tall and weighed 150 pounds when I started. Eight weeks later I now weigh 128 pound and have dropped 2-3 dress sizes. I always wore large, now I wear a small. My skirts were 14, now I got an 8. My jeans were 14, but now they are a 10.
Thanks so much. I didn't believe it could happen! I had tried so many diets, but nothing worked. This diet really helps! I'm not hungry doing it.

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I am on week four of the diet. I am very happy with the results. On the first couple of weeks I lost seven pounds and an additional two on week three. I am currently on week four and I am looking forward to losing more weight. Although I still have yet to reach my goal weight, looking in the mirror isn't "horryfying" anymore.

Hi,
My husband has dropped 13 pounds in 2 weeks on the low carb high protein diet. I have dropped 6! Thanks!

Hi Pat -

My weight loss is less dramatic this week, but still going in the right
direction. Thanks for the extra recipe!
That was very sweet of you. It sounds very good. I made the Unfried
Rice last night - very good!
The tofu salad sandwich from your recipe was really good! I was
a little skeptical, but I'm glad I tried it. I'm impressed that I'm not
hungry all the time. I get hungry, of course, but it's usually right
around snack time! I'm really enjoying this diet, even the exercise part.
I look forward to the new recipes.
Thanks Pat. You're terrific! - Ruth

Hi Pat
I am excited. I have tried fad diets, e diets, weight watchers 3 times.
I have some medical problems which slows my metabolism and i always seemed to
be hungry. I just wanted a "taste" of this and that. I started the zone on
Tuesday and have lost 3 lbs!! I can't believe it. I did not do this in I 1/2
yrs in weight watchers. All that money! I do not get hungry at all.
My stomach has gone down and my pants are looser. I bought some zone bars and
they are good.

Dear Pat,
I have been very pleased with the first weeks menu and recipes. The recipes
have been easy and delicious (my children have even enjoyed what a shock).
I look forward to the next new menu and hope the recipes and food are as easy
and delicious.
Thanks again

Thanks.

I'm so happy with the Zone...I feel great. I can sure tell when occasionaly I get out of the Zone. I've been on the Zone for about 1 month and have lost 14 lbs. I plan to eat like this forever and I've been telling every one how wonderful the Zone is. Starting with the Diet 4U helped a lot because it got me started with menus and recipes. I now have 3 books on the Zone so I'm really into it. Thanks again for your help.
Carolyn from Sarasota

Pat,

Wanted to let you know that my husband has lost around 25-30 pounds following your meal plan. He is down almost two pant sizes and has only been on it for 4 weeks. He feels so good and can't believe that he is not hungry all the time. I can't wait til I am finished breastfeeding (another 9 mos is my goal) so that I can drop my baby weight!

Michelle
Wooster, OH

I can't say enough about this diet. Have been fighting to lose these 10lbs
forever. I have lost them and am going for 5 more. Have not been hungry and
my cravings for carbs has disappeared. My husband is so impressed he is
starting. Thank you for this terrific diet.

I am 72 years old and on a small pension and social security. My husband and I
joined the YMCA (also 6 miles away) and together we work out three days
a week. On Saturday mornings I walk two miles with two of my friends.
The shopping list, recipes and menus give me new incentive and help me from
eating the same things over and over.
I look forward to week four!

Pat,
I LOVE this way of eating! It suits my lifestyle and encompasses all the foods I love to eat! This "diet" is the easiest one I've ever been on.

Dear Diet 4U Online,
I just wanted to drop a line and let you know how great I feel.
I'm almost finished with week six, (ends Monday and today is Friday).

I started out weighing 192.0 pounds. So far I have lost 13.2 pounds (aiming for 14 by weeks end) and currently weigh 178.8. I have gone down two sizes from a 16 to a 12. (I can't remember the last time I wore a size 12.) I find myself going into the 'normal' stores just to try on something only to see if it fits. I'm having a REALLY hard time not buying loads of clothes.

I have to tell you what happened at the mall last week. I went into Burdines women's department, where I have been buying my clothes for as long as I can remember. I wanted some new workout clothes so I tried on the smallest size sweatpants they had (1X) - they were way too big. I approached the sales lady and asked her if they had any sweatpants in a smaller size. She directed me to the misses department. I looked at her stunned. I had never shopped in the misses department before and found that I was quite intimidated by the thought. She, on the other hand, smiled at me and asked if I had recently lost weight. I told her I had and ended up telling her about the Zone and your website, even going so far as to write it down for her. She wished me luck and I proceeded downstairs to the misses dept. I found the same brand of sweatpants and ended up purchasing a size L (not the XL ) and probably could have gotten away with the size M but I kept thinking it was too good to be true.

I've decided to repeat the entire 7 weeks again and I'm also thinking of purchasing the new software so I can continued beyond the 14 weeks.

Thanks so much for your help!

Dear Nutritional Counselor,

Thanks for your interest in my progress. I dropped 7 lbs. the first two weeks on the "Vegetarian High Protein Quick Weight Loss Diet" without feeling hungry or tired.

I've always loved to exercise, so that's not an issue. I've been a regular gym rat for a long time - kickboxing, step aerobics, cardio machines, and I just added regular strength training which up to this point I have only done intermittently. I hate strength training, but recognize the benefit especially as I push closer to my 4th decade. Eek.

I'm now back into my size 4 summer clothes, though a bit snugly. Hopefully a few more weeks and I will prevent a total wardrobe replacement. This is a very sensible meal plan with quick recipes and easy to find foods. I'm very pleased.

Dear Pat,
I love this, all the recipes are wonderful, like the ones you could get from some of the 5 star rated restaurant. I really look forward to getting up in the morning and eating, Everyone has notice the weight that I have lost already. My nurses uniform fit much better and I want to thank-you, I'm getting back to 130lbs, and going to look good in my bathing suit this year. Last year I didn't even go down to our houseboat, I was to fat, and there are so many women that look to good " fake parts and all." A lot of people are tired of trying diets. Either the food is terrible, or it takes to long to prepare the food. With "Diet 4U" everything is easy and delicious. I will be sending you a picture soon. I want everyone to know that I'm not being paid to say this! This is a great diet, and I'm excited...
Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you....Pattie

I believe that I almost have my fitness trainer open to the Zone program. At
first, he assumed it was another "high" protein diet, which it is not. I'm
actually eating much more fruits & veggies than I did before. I had worked
out with him already for 8 weeks & not losing much weight. Then, when I
started the Zone program, things started changing! As I've said before,
my clothes are much looser & people are noticing.
Last night at the gym, I had 3 people approach to
comment how much they could tell & wondered what I'm doing.

Anyway, I want to express my 110% belief & faith in the Zone program! I
don't look at it as a "diet," for, I really feel I can be satisfied eating
this way for life. It is actually more healthy than any eating pattern I've
tried, and I'm not having nutty, insane cravings for sugar. My trainer still
cannot believe the intake of fat in the program, but I'm trying to convince
him the proof is in the pudding!! I'm getting great results!!

Thank you, Pat, for all your support & encouragement.

Sincerely,
Shannon

I am about to complete my second week on The Zone. I had my fourth child 5 months ago, and seemed to retain 10 pounds after each child (that's a total of 40 pounds)!! So far, I have lost 6 pounds.
I am so encouraged by my success, that I am determined to reach my goal within a reasonable timeframe. I will let you know how I do in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks. Ann

Well my six weeks are over. I have learned how to eat better and I have the
knowledge to keep excess weight off. Outside of coming away with a new lifestyle
and a new way of thinking on being vegetarian, my numbers are 25 pounds lost
and 4 inches off my waist in 6 weeks.

Thank you for helping improve my life and health.

Thank You

Hi Pat!
I have now lost 8 lbs!!! I am thrilled. I don't want to look perfect, it is just nice to fit into my clothes better!!!
I feel really good about just plain "eating well" these days. I don't even consider this a diet, just finally eating healthily. Thanks so much for all your help! I will continue the diet for week six as well, then I will still eat this way by making my own meal plans based on the ones you have given me. Have a great day!

Hi Pat,
I know I haven't written....but I did want to let you know that I have
in fact lost 10 lbs. thus far! I am so thrilled!! I didn't want to
jinx myself...that's why I am writing now.

I must admit that I haven't followed the program 100%, but it has made a
difference following it 90% of the time and I feel great. Thank you for
listening...Kathy

Pat,
I just received the week two email and I wanted to share the results of week one. I weighed myself for the first time since the diet began and was pleasantly surprised to see that I had lost 7 pounds. The best part is I feel wonderful, and I get to eat all the time. I am also very happy to read that I can substitute any meal or snack for any of the others.
Thanks for your support.

Kindest Regards,
Shannon
