I WAS A MESS!

Cindi Oct 1, 2018

I was a mess!  My weight was at an all-time high.  I had just completed a year on another diet, one that I had done over and over again for decades.  I was following the program, but kept losing and gaining back the same 10 pounds.  I had resigned myself to being overweight.   What was hard to resign myself to was the indigestion, heartburn, migraines, being tired, poor sleep, inflammation and swelling, aches and pains.  Walking up a flight of stairs took my breath away.  I felt older than I should at 58.  To say I was a mess was an understatement.

I started visiting Cindi at Ideally You in Duluth, Minnesota and following the Ideal Protein Protocol.  Day one I had my first vanilla crispy bar at breakfast and thought, “If I get to eat food that tastes this good, this won’t be so bad!”  Night one:  No indigestion or heartburn.  I kept waiting for it, but it never came.  It became the first night I did not have to ingest heartburn medication.  The night before this evening was my last.  I have not needed it since!  No more heartburn and indigestion wasn’t the only thing I saw change.  I had energy!  I was sleeping and waking up well rested.  The swelling and inflammation went away in my feet, hands and legs.  I was losing weight!



After a little over a year I am now down over 90 pounds and 46.50 inches!  Yes, that is a pair of my old pants!  They used to fit, tightly!  As I enter phase 4, I am excited about all of the positive changes and weight loss.  Most of all, I have my life back!  THANK YOU to a friend for convincing me to attend an information meeting, to Cindi who is the best coach ever, and to Ideal Protein for an awesome program!  It works!  I may be approaching 60, but I feel younger and healthier than I have for many decades!
