Getting ‘Charged Up’ Again
About Each Other!
Dear Mr.
Brown,
As you
know, at the start of this New Year, my husband and I decided we needed to make
some major adjustments in our lives. We had put on a tremendous amount of
weight, were constantly tired, not getting our housework done and we were
eating for recreational purposes. Worse yet, our five year-old daughter
was beginning to pick up all of our bad habits.
One night
we were watching ‘The Biggest Loser’ and started talking about how we might
apply these theories in our lives. In the past, we have subscribed to a
wide variety of fad diets and exercise machines. Nothing was working and
even when we experienced short term results, the weight gain came on full-force
shortly thereafter. We realized we needed some solid guidance and support
to get through this. We decided there would be no more reading, no more
experimenting and certainly no more roller coaster effect!
We
searched the internet and were blessed to find you via Visionary
Trainers. Within 1 week, as you may recall, you had us both on a track
for a healthy and much more meaningful lifestyle. You patiently and
passionately took the time to explain your theories and systems to us in a way
that we could understand. Kevin, your plan makes sense. It is
designed around best human practices and practical concepts versus the modern
theories of substitute, replacement and deprivation. This is the
underlying reason it is working for us.
We have
been faithful to the Liberation Diet which is NOT a diet at all but about
making smart choices and understanding the source of our foods. Still, no
weight loss plan comes without exercise.
Our
personal trainer, Sherri, that you hand-picked for us through Visionary
Trainers has been coming to our home 3 times each week to educate us in proper
and results-oriented physical exercise. Sherri motivates us and keeps us
on our toes. She is someone we can no longer live without! There is
no greater motivation than a devoted and caring professional knocking at your
door at 5:30 in the morning to get you revved up for your day.
We also use the in-home cooking program provided by Liberation Wellness called Rachels Way. Rachel has helped us learn how to eat healthy and her service is so reasonable it is a no-brainer.
Within 3
weeks on this program, I lost 10 pounds (5.3% body weight) and my husband lost
15 pounds (6.5% body weight). I am now currently down 51 pounds! We are not tired but full of energy.
We are not agonizing over a diet and food deprivation but loving our meals and
feeling very fulfilled. We are not spending any more money on
this meal and exercise plan than we were before because we are not eating out
anymore. Instead we go out for activity and pure entertainment. People
are noticing the transformation and it feels great! We continue to lose
weight, our skin has better tone and our faces are rejuvenating.
Still,
there are so many other benefits to share. We now have energy to play
actively with our daughter rather than sending her to her play room or the
television. We are getting our housework done and then some. I
personally have been so energized and crisp at the office that my productivity
has increased by almost 25%. Whereas I was getting my work done within
the day before, I now find myself over producing and/or asking for more.
My husband and I are getting ‘charged’ up again about each other as we were
early in our marriage. Most importantly, we are now spending daily
quality time together. We are exercising, cooking, working on house
projects, etc. Our daughter is learning the system and excited about it.
She enjoys participating in our exercise regimen where she can. To put it
quite simply, we feel great, we are looking great and we are having FUN again!
Kevin, we
could never have pulled this off without you. We are so grateful for you
and this program. Thank you for giving us our lives back.
With much
fondness and gratitude,
Michele

Lost 51 pounds!

Body Wise Gets Liberated and Weight Begins to Fly Off!
Before I met
Kevin I weighed an embarrassing 217 pounds!
I started packing on the pounds when I was in my late forties about 10
years ago and no matter what I did or tried I could not get the pounds off.
One evening
I had gone with some business colleagues to a friend’s house for a Xango
meeting, where I met Lori Ryan. Lori is a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and
had been working with Kevin for several months and had been experiencing
wonderful results due to his mentoring/counseling. One of the first things she asked me was
“have you heard of the Liberation Diet” when I said no she made an appointment
to visit me the next day to explain. During her visit, I was amazed at how
misinformed I had been about many things.
One of the biggest for me was water consumption. I was addicted to water, I was consuming much
more that the eight glasses that over the years we were told was
recommended. 
During our
meeting I purchased a copy of Kevin’s book ‘The Liberation Diet’ and decided at
that point this was a plan that could work well for me. Lori indicated that Kevin would be coming to
our area in about a week and a half and if he was available would I find the
time to meet with him. Not only did we
meet, he was able to give a presentation to members of the BodyWise gym that I am a part
owner of. 
From that
time forward I have been changing the way I’ve been living my life, and results
have been spectacular!
The change
of eating habits was easy as I loved the rich, real foods, making the switch to
real butter and raw milk was just as easy as I was lucky to have had both as a
small child and tasting them again surprisingly brought back memories of how
good things use to taste.
Since that
initial meeting with Lori about 7 week ago I have lost 24 pounds! Also I am
down one clothing size and very close to being able to claim 2.
As many of
the members of my gym have been noticing my weight dropping several have also
decided to make the change in their lives to real healthy eating. Lori is currently working with me to set-up a
‘Biggest Loser’ contest in the community where the gym is located.
The support
and encouragement I have received from both Lori and Kevin has been a true
blessing. My goal is to lose another 40
pounds and I have no doubt that this time I will make
