Hello everyone.
This blog is dedicated mostly to recipes, ingredients and supplement information for healthy living, but when I received this email from one of my clients, I just had to post it. It made my day. Thanks Cindy!

"Calories in calories out...just eat a little less...just work out a little longer...these are statements that seemed tried and true in the weight loss world. However, these statements did NOT seem to apply to me. After years of working out harder, longer and cutting calories I never seemed to be getting the results I expected or deserved. I was carrying around some weight that I really wanted to go away. So, I decided to go for the big one...run a marathon. Yes I signed up to run 26.2 miles in beautiful San Francisco. This for sure would take these extra pounds off right? Wrong! On October 18th of last year I crossed the finish line only to weigh 3 pounds more than I weighed before the training and the actual marathon. So... what next I thought to myself, am I stuck at this weight, should I just embrace where I am, just be satisfied? I really didn't want to answer yes to any of these questions so I searched a little further into options. Here’s where Maria walks into my life!

Maria was offering a class at our local yoga studio and I jumped on the chance to attend. as I listened to Maria speak on nutrition, supplements and how our body reacts to different stresses in our lives...it was if no one else was in the room and she was talking directly to me. I was shocked by everything she was saying, it was against the grain a bit. But, she had research to back up and as she stood in front of us all as this lean, mean fighting machine I knew this girl knew what she was talking about. So, I threw everything I had ever learned about nutrition and exercise into the air and decided to start over.

I signed up to meet with Maria one on one and my transformation began. She explained my plan to me and I was off to full commitment to this new plan. I can't lie...I was a little nervous...no I was really nervous about eating more and increasing my fat to the levels that she suggested. But I trusted that Maria knew what she was doing and would help me along the way. To my surprise but no surprise to Maria IT WORKED!!! I lost weight. I stuck to the plan and listened to everything Maria asked me to do and in just 30 days my body let go of 20 plus pounds! I was amazed with how much better I felt. The new way of eating, taking the correct supplements and being kinder to myself in my workouts really worked. I am so pleased with my results and know that this way of eating is a lifestyle not a diet. Now I know people say that a life style change is how you get results and I would have to agree. I will eat this way for the rest of my life...this time I have a program for ME not for everyone else. Thanks Maria for this huge gift in my life...you rock! See you soon, Cindy"
