Doug & his team were able to educate me on best practices for using this medicine. He educated me on what workout program would work best for my body type & my hectic work schedule. His meal plan is flexible & caters to my dairy allergy & the foods I need and like to eat for optimal health & weight loss.

After…read moresuccessfully losing 47 pounds and maintaining that loss for several years, I suddenly found myself gaining and unable to shed the extra pounds. I had gained 18 pounds over a period of two years and no matter what I tried, any loss was minimal and temporary. I was totally frustrated and very skeptical, but willing to give D-Fine a try. I lost 2.3 inches after my first treatment, immediately signed up for a package, and jumped in with both feet. By adding Joe's meal plan to my existing workouts and weight training, I lost 10.4 pounds, 6.76 inches, and 2.2% fat over the course of my two month treatment package, to my complete amazement. Joe had said his plan was to "shake things up" in my metabolism, and that's exactly what happened. I did have one very unfortunate thing occur due to a now former D-Fine employee, but it was addressed. In the end, I'm grateful for D-Fine's friendly and professional staff, and happy that I took a chance on something that seemed too good to be true. (Spoiler: It's NOT, if you also put in the work!)

Purposeful deception or lack of education? I went to Medi for some accountability and support in my…read moreweight loss journey. However, I was shocked by some of the things I was told which directly contradict so much of nutrition and general science. Most egregiously, I was alerted by a supervising nurse that I have "high cholesterol" and that a goal of my participation would be to bring that down. But, what was highlighted and she pointed out on my bloodwork sheet was my fantastic HDL- otherwise known as "good" cholesterol, which is measured in relation to a minimum- in other words, the higher above the minimum the better, and to "bring that down" deliberately would be a very bad goal. I did not tell the nurse at that time that I knew her information to be incorrect, to learn more about whether she was trying to make my health seem worse than it is so i would buy more product, or if she was severely out of date on training. The rest of my bloodwork was (also) stellar. Another stunning aspect was the meal plan itself. They do a metabolic test along with your bloodwork when you attend an intake appointment. My caloric needs for maintenance were reported to be around 1800 calories. I commented that this information tells us that 12-1300 calories would be the standard weight loss target (a 500 cal deficit per day will yield a 1.5 lb /week loss on average) and I was told "no, the weight loss target for that range is 600 calories a day." The Medi program may be "the one that works," but it works because you are being starved- you could eat 600 calories of skittles per day and absolutely would drop tons of weight, because you are dying! The program also allows for FOUR protein shake "replacements" per day (which is egregious), and a very very minimal amount of vegetable which necessitates the abundance of laxatives the program sells. No fruit, no whole grains. This diet is Atkins on steroids, Keto on... just awful. Unlike traditional ketosis plans, this diet does not provide the caloric compensation of fat to reach that minus-500 caloric target which is the all-but universal standard for achieving weight loss without damaging the bones, muscles, brain and metabolism. Each visit with the team was very disappointing- these are pleasant, friendly folks (lovely reception staff) who are touting what i expect to be company-line misinformation, in a medically coded environment. Some information is merely out of date (though drastically so) such as that it is essential (or even useful) to chug a protein shake within 30 minutes of exercise (debunked for years, only has a very slight potential impact for the most elite of athletes who are maxed out in every other efficiency). I was even told that FATS will put me out of ketosis, which I asked to clarify and was reconfirmed (false). They sell a variety of vitamin injections which are chock-full of disclaimers as to their efficacy (wise because they are also debunked) and a wide array of "metabolic boosting" supplements. Participants in this program are likely to have significant short term weight loss due to the extreme caloric deficits with the aid of a vast selection of appetite suppressants- however, once those suppressants are discontinued (and each has very serious side effects, some are meant to be used very short term and will be prescribed indefinitely here) they will regain the weight rapidly. In short, this is a money-making business like any other and due to the extreme vulnerability of folks in weight management and scientific inaccuracies, I think it would be inaccurate to classify their methods as anything other than harmful. If you want to maximize on your health, I recommend seeing a certified dietician and making small incremental changes.

MELT offers a one-free week trial membership. And after one week, I knew I had to sign up…read more I've done gyms for years. Used them irregularly at best. MELT is the anti-gym experience. You have a good-sized facility, trainers who know your name and want you to come in for training, and the workouts are challenging to your fitness level. They last 30 minutes. Quick does not equal easy. Au contraire, mon frere! You're moving the whole time, under the watchful eye of your trainer, and by the end, you will find yourself sweaty, tired, and thankful you survived. Think you can't "handle" boot camp classes? Neither did I until I went and saw that they customize your workout to your level and work around injuries. There are all ages, sizes and fitness levels that go. Feel self-conscious? Surprisingly, I've never felt any judgement. You're too busy trying to get through each station of the workout to notice anything other than what you're doing. I've been going to MELT for 4 months now. I go about 3-5x a week and I have not done the same exercise twice. They have three locations: Glastonbury, South Windsor, and Harwinton. And the other thing about MELT classes: they know you, and they know what you're capable of, and thus they know when you're slacking! The trainer will come over, give you a little smile, hand you a heavier weight, modify the form of an exercise, or make you drop deeper into a squat or lunge while asking you perkily: "Do you feel that now?" Oh, and if you're a woman thinking this isn't for you: think again. Just as many women attend then men. There are equal number of male and female trainers, too. This is not those boot camps where the trainers yell at you. They definitely push you. They motivate you. And they congratulate you. You will discover that your body, and you, are much stronger than you ever thought you could be. Your win is their win.

In my hunt for a new fitness class place, m.e.l.t. kept popping up- recommendations here on Yelp, Groupons, friends, etc. I decided to purchase the Groupon- $19 for 3 weeks unlimited. Purchasers of such Groupon must attend an orientation, which was a nice way to get everyone acclimated. I will admit, I was skeptical about the workouts only being 30-35 minutes. My skepticism has subsided, and I am a believer. I felt more accomplished in those 30 minutes than I have in any hour long class, let alone my individual workouts at the gym. The instructors are great, motivating, but not in your face. They give different levels of difficulty, and alternate options for exercises if you're not comfortable. Classes may be signed up for online, which is convenient. There are plenty of class time selections, and what's really great is that the classes are the same for the full day (ex: all Tuesday classes are meltabolic, Wednesday is melted upper body) so you don't have to pick and choose certain times on different days. I still have 2 1/2 weeks left of my Groupon, and then I will consider purchasing a membership (seems fairly pricy though!).

I had seen a shiny black pickup truck emblazened with the Mission Fitness logo while driving around town, so one Saturday, I decided to stop in. That's when I met Matt, the owner, and after sizing up the place, I sprung for a 30-session pass on the spot. I'm so happy that I did; in fact, I just purchased a new set of 30. I had no idea what to expect regarding boot camp, and I was happy when I discovered that it isn't about instructors screaming in your face. In each class, we do a lot of things: jumping up and down on a step while holding a weight, making waves out of a huge rope, performing pushups, situps and the evil burpees, maneuvers with medicine balls and other equipment, and sprinting inside and out. Do I love every moment of the class? Absolutely not! It's hard work. But I feel like I've made strides, and I have a terrific feeling of accomplishment, even when I have to take a break when others persevere. The best thing about Mission Fitness is the people. Matt and co-owner Darcy, (brother and sister), and all the instructors are extremely supportive. I feel like they care about me and my fellow participants. It's not just a business to them; they are dedicated to the success of all of us. I love Mission Fitness.
