Get Your Body Back has allowed me, at age 55, to finally envision a life in which my relationship to my own body is that of love and friendship; a future which, for the first time in my life, allows me to think I can actually maintain within a healthy range and without white-knuckling through life.
Dealing with a life-long weight issue that had gotten worse over time, I did have intermittent successes, all of which included achieving weight loss only with massive amounts of exercise, and all of which were followed by the predictable gaining it all back plus more. Now, I was at the point of crossing over into diabetes, and had long since given up hope of losing 10 lbs, much less over 100.
After much preparation, I had bariatric surgery (lap band) and that was a kick-start. I always knew that I would need something more; that lap band alone wasn't enough. When I heard Dr. Tom Yarema speak about insulin resistance and how to overcome it, I knew this could address the metabolic disorder that has given me this challenge all my life. To date I lost about 65 lbs through surgery alone, then another 45 through this program. I have about 20-30 to go.
I say that Get Your Body Back is both the easiest and the hardest thing I've done. It's the easiest program ever of the many I've done "from the inside", in that I have very minimal hunger or cravings; the biology creates its' own willpower. And, I have hardly exercised at all...very minimally. That's a lot right there! It's the hardest because it requires a lot of preparation and managing the logistics, which believe me, I thought was impossible.
However, bit by bit it all became doable, and freed me in many ways. This is a transformative experience, and really offers the potential of a life free of the predictable outcome of ever diminishing metabolic efficiency, diabetes etc. read more
