Overweight for many years!
I had been trying to lose weight for years. I had been working out 5 days a week for years, but my weight just seemed to creep up out of control before my eyes. I tried listening to doctors to "eat 6 times a day" but my weight still either went up, or stayed the same. After listening to Kevin and what he instructed me to do concerning my eating habits, I lost 75 pounds in 9 months, and I went from a 44 inch waist, to a loose 36 inch waist. Even through out the holiday season, I've managed to keep my weight loss maintained. Since then I've never looked back, and I'll never buy clothes again.
Thanks Kevin!"

What happens when a busy medical professional decides she needs to change her lifestyle and get in shape...in a big way! Hear how this dentist lost 44 pounds in only 4 months by simply following the Liberation Fitness Program.
I would like to take a moment to thank Kevin Brown of
Liberation Fitness for transforming my life this past summer. I had really
fallen into a terrible pattern of eating poorly, not exercising and letting my
overall health take a back seat to my new dental practice. As a result, I
gained LOTS of weight over the last two years and experienced a noticeable
decline in energy and increase in stress. That all changed when I decided to
hire Kevin.
I met with Kevin late June and found him to be not only knowledgeable about weight training/exercise but also well-versed in nutrition. He started me on a diet and work-out program and the results were amazing. I lost over 30 lbs in three months and feel and look great. I have more energy to deal with the stress associated with my profession and have become an overall healthier, stronger person.
I can, without reservation, recommend Kevin's program to
anybody who is interested in getting healthier and improving their quality of
life. Before I met Kevin I was lazy and plain old fat. Now Kevin calls me his
biggest loser. I lost 9 lbs. in the first week. Altogether I have lost
approximately 44 pounds – and it was quite easy!
Within four months I had reached my goal. It was just
good eating and good exercising. Most of my patients and friends are just
shocked. They ask: How did you do it and how can I do it? Now everything is
better. Kevin’s always on top of things, and he explains things with scientific
evidence. Being a dentist I’m kind of a scientist and Kevin takes away the
fallacy and gives me reality. Before when I was shopping, I’d go right in a
store and come right back out again. I’d blame it on European sizes. Now I walk
out with two bags. I would definitely recommend the Liberation Fitness Program.
It’s not a difficult program. You don’t need to weigh things. You don’t need to count things. You need to eat healthy, exercise and have a positive mental attitude. Now I’m looking forward to any reunion – high school, college, dental school. I look forward to seeing people who haven’t seen me in years. People used to look at me and not see me. I was invisible.
Now they see the real me – and I’m thrilled!

When seeing the doctor, a routine weigh-in provides the wake-up call this young lady needed to get back in shape and back into her old wardrobe. Find out how Liberation Fitness™ has helped her to shed 26 pounds and feel fabulous!
I hadn’t
realized how much weight I had gained until I went to visit my Doctor when I
wasn’t feeling well. When I stepped on the scale, I couldn’t believe it! I
wasn’t fat, but I knew I had begun to pack on some excess weight. I didn’t
like the direction this was headed-to say the least!! In addition, Diabetes
runs in my family, and I did not want to become another victim. I had also
recently gotten engaged and wanted to look fabulous for my engagement party and
wedding. So, I decided to be proactive. I decided if I start now when
I’m young, then perhaps I won’t fall victim to the illnesses that have plagued
many of my family members. So, after speaking with my fiancé, he suggested I
go see Kevin. Kevin educated me about my eating habits and the importance of
whole food nutrition along with exercise. I took notes on what I should be
eating and not eating, listened intently to the message and signed up for
training with what turned out to be an awesome trainer. What really impacted
me the most in the message was learning that if you really listen and follow
this diet and adapt it as part of your lifestyle-you can reverse some of the
damage you’ve done to your body & your health!! After a week of the Liberation
Diet and working out with Visionary Trainers I lost 7 pounds. Me being the
ultimate skeptic, I was flabbergasted and ecstatic at the same time!! Week two
I lost 6 pounds, and continued to lose a few pounds a week until I finally
achieved my goal weight after 2 and half months!! I lost a total of 30
pounds! What an excuse to go out shopping!! Now, it’s almost 2 years later, I
looked fabulous at my wedding, have maintained the weight loss I and feel
better than ever!
I used to get sick a lot, colds, the flu, throat infections, etc. Since I made this diet a part of my everyday life (The Liberation Lifestyle I like to call it) I have not been sick.
People in my
office have been sick many, many times, and luckily, I have not been one of
them. Prior to the Liberation Diet I most definitely would get sick!! Sure,
it could be coincidence, but I don’t think so! Looking ahead to the
future, I’m so glad to have learned about the importance of whole food
nutrition—it plays an important role in family planning.
I can take what I’ve learned and be confident that when my husband and I decide to start a family, they will be as healthy as can be!!

Kevin is a money
manager whose stressful job and frequent work-related client entertaining made
it easy to form bad habits where fitness was concerned.
Realizing the need for a change, Kevin turned to Liberation Fitness. His success has inspired his entire family.
I’ve worked with Kevin for 18 months and I’ve lost 20-plus pounds. When you become physically fit, you feel physically terrific. I work in a stressful industry. I’m a money manager, and with the rigors of the job, I was putting on a lot of weight. I work in a lot of social settings with food and drink. I wasn’t feeling real well. Now I’m much more enthusiastic and passionate and clients pick up on that. I went to buy a pair of jeans and I was a size smaller in the waist.
This program is contagious – when I started to lose weight, my wife started to do it to. And now our kids are eating healthier.
The entire family is feeling better. There’s no need for little blue pills in our house.
"I would absolutely recommend Kevin’s program to anyone."
We are so
bombarded in our society with bad lifestyle choices and bad food choices.
Kevin’s program cuts through the clutter and helps you to make the right choices.
There was a time when I was younger that I could eat a 2 lb. hoagie and go to bed and lose weight. Now I just drive past a hoagie restaurant and look inside and put on weight – but Kevin has me eating right, and certainly exercising right.

Long time exerciser finally gets results!
Just because someone routinely exercises does not mean
they will realize their full potential. Hear how this 62 year young woman
incorporated the Liberation Fitness nutrition diet plan and finally realized
the results she had been waiting for. She may be 62, but she feels 40. “
I always exercised, walking marathons, walking on a treadmill,
bowling, but I wasn’t perfect in the field of nutrition. Kevin put me on the
Liberation Diet, and helped me with essential minerals. Within a week I could
feel the difference. I am now a role model in the community. I lost almost 25
pounds. I’ll be 62 next month and I feel like I am in my 40s. No one believes
I’m my age. I call the Liberation Program the Fountain of Youth. The decision
to train with Kevin of Liberation Fitness was one of the best decisions of my
life. He helped me accomplish in a few weeks what I couldn't accomplish in a
lifetime of trying. Kevin created a customized nutrition, exercise and
supplement program for me, and it is producing really impressive (and fast!)
results. I look better, feel better, and am extremely pleased with my progress
and performance. I actually look forward to my workouts because I feel so great
afterwards. Kevin is truly an expert in his field and he has made a real
difference in my life. Not only is he an excellent trainer and health and
fitness coach, but he has a very caring and understanding manner and is a
pleasure to work with. Our relationship has been so very beneficial to me. I
plan to continue as his client for a long, long time”.

Mother and daughter working together get liberated!
A Mothers’ quest to help her daughter
battle obesity leads to a solution for both. Hear how Liberation Fitness helps this
family lose 121 pounds collectively and create a better lifestyle for both
mother and daughter.
Mother: My daughter was obese. We tried everything. I took her to a nutritionist. That didn’t work. We tried Weight Watchers. That didn’t work. We went to Curves. Nothing was working. Not until we tried Kevin’s Liberation Program did we see any results. Now she looks so much better and so much prettier.
"I lost 77 pounds" "I lost 44 pounds"
Daughter: My friends are so proud that I could accomplish something like this. On Kevin’s Liberation Program I lost 77 pounds. It was something I had to do. At times it was hard, but it was worth it.
Mother: Before, a flight of stairs was a killer for me. I couldn’t go up stairs without huffing and puffing. Kevin’s program changed the way I eat. I don’t eat chemicals and fake sugars. The diet energizes me. I lost 44 pounds. Kevin’s program doesn’t only tell you how to exercise; it tells you how to eat.
Daughter: Now I have so much more confidence. My friends at school compliment me all the time. And I was concerned my Mom was unhealthy, and I love my Mom. Kevin’s Liberation Program changed my life.

After exercising on my own for some time, I realized I was making no progress.
I knew I needed
some help. I consider myself lucky to have received a phone call from Kevin
Brown one afternoon after not being at the gym for a few months. At the time I
weighed in at about 200 lbs. I was 25 pounds over-weight. I went into training
with Kevin. I now find myself six months later in the best shape I have been in
my life.
Several things started to happen after the first few weeks. I found myself
feeling better, thinking more clearly and having more energy. The best was yet
to come.
Kevin not only set up a personal training program that fit my needs but added
something that I had not considered - not just a diet but a complete
educational nutrition program. I believe that his expert guidance in getting
the right information about physical fitness plus the nutrition made all the difference.
Now I feel great about the way I look but on a deeper level I feel really
healthy. Kevin's deep conviction that exercise and nutrition can help his
clients in all aspects of their lives will affect anyone who trains with him. My
blood pressure, which had been high, is now normal, I have lost 25 pounds, 6
inches around my waist, the daily indigestion is gone and people around me
compliment me on my appearance. That vague feeling I had about not being in
control of my own health is gone.

She was a couch potato. He was undisciplined when it came to fitness.
Together they were looking to get in shape.
Hear
how this publisher and lawyer are enjoying life better thanks to Liberation
Fitness.
Richard:
"I was more active playing tennis and golf – but I didn’t have the discipline to be really fit. Discipline is part of what is necessary. The Liberation Program has given me the discipline to exercise regularly. I’m 63 years old and I started seeing definition in my arms and legs and the energy you get from working out is just incredible. It’s a very easy program to sell because of the benefits and the results – in the way I look and the way I feel. The Liberation Program made me look better and feel better."
Katherine:
"I was a couch potato. I tended to read and do sedentary activities. But I worried about middle aged women issues like bone density. I have recommended the program to many people. It gets results. My husband and I are thrilled to be working with Kevin Brown of Liberation Fitness. I started with Kevin a year ago; my husband, seeing the improvement in my muscle tone and energy level, joined the workout schedule six months ago. It's now an essential part of our lives. Kevin knows just how hard to push us...when to crank it up, and when to lay back. He's gentle, but firm, about the need to eat right. As a result of his guidance, I find myself getting the right amount of exercise, eating better, and taking my vitamins and minerals."
"Before I started working with Kevin, I had never done any
weight training. I just had another bone density test, and the doctor was
pleased to report a noticeable improvement. I attribute it to the workouts and
the minerals. Kevin's the best."

Losing weight after pregnancy can be a difficult
challenge.
This recent mother was struggling to
shed the 60 pounds she had
gained.
Hear how she not only lost the weight
but turned heads in the process.
When I got pregnant, I gained 60 pounds. My husband was like "What happened to you?" After the baby was born I was stuck. I was still wearing maternity clothes. It was horrible. I work with all guys and they were asking me: "Are you having another one?” So I started the liberation program and I noticed a change right away. I had back pains from picking up the baby and the back pains went away. And then I wasn’t wearing maternity clothes any more. I could fit into smaller clothes. Now the guys are work are all like "Look at you! Look at your butt." I get a lot of catcalls and whistles. Doing the Liberation Program isn’t difficult. I look forward to it. When I miss a session I feel miserable.

Gyms
aren’t for everyone - especially for
Mothers with young children.
After I had my third child I wanted to get back into shape. I noticed results right away. I was able to get back into my jeans after three weeks. My family began to notice definition in my arms and my legs toning up. Everything started to get more fun. For women who have kids it’s just so much easier to work out of the house. If I had to work out in a gym I’d never do it. I’d bring my kids to the basement with me. I’m liberated and you can be too!

Family history can sometimes reveal warning signs about your own health. This CFO was determined to change history and gain back his health. Hear how Liberation Fitness was able to put this 52 year old back on the right track.
My father died at 59 and his father at 58, and a lot had to do with weight. I was determined not to let that happen to me. I wanted to make a positive change. I was looking for more than just exercise. I was looking for help with diet too because if you don’t put all the pieces together you are never going to meet your goal. Now my children see a whole new me. My youngest is very athletic. He’s a distance biker. I can ride with him now and almost keep up. My wife says this is the old me she first knew. I had a get-together with a college roommate and he was jealous. He had put on weight and let himself go. When you get up in the morning and don’t want to see yourself naked, it’s time for a change. When you see all the changes, it’s pretty impressive. It’s hard work, but it’s worth it. If I have to miss a day I really do miss it. It’s something I really enjoy doing.

Losing weight and looking better aren't the only benefits realized by our clients. Hear how this couple has rekindled their love life as a result of the Liberation Fitness program.
Janine: I am 20 years younger. I wanted us both to be outstanding. Now our family tells us we look great. I lost 17 pounds and I’m still losing. I have a lot more energy. We’ve recommended the Liberation Program to all our patients. I’m going to do this for life.
Sid: I was getting old. I was 66 and my flexibility was poor. My balance wasn’t good. I had adipose around my belly. I used to be a distance runner, but in recent years I had done nothing. I felt like I was an old man. I looked older than I am. Now she looks hot. She looks like when I met her 11 years ago. I chase her all over the house – and she lets me catch her! When you are fit it makes your whole life better. It made our love life better!

Before I met
Kevin I weighed 240 pounds. I wasn’t feeling good. I couldn’t fit into my
clothes. I was disappointed in my appearance. I’m a success coach, and I was
highly motivated to get into shape. Then I started working with Kevin’s
Liberation Program. I went from 240 pounds to 203 pounds in 40 days. And then
down to 198 in another 15 days. And then down to 195 pounds. I’ve lost 45
pounds in 5 months. It was all due to Kevin’s program. I went from a size 46 to
a 42 suit coat. I had to get all new clothes. Now I’m eating right and exercising
right. Now my goal is to maintain my new weight forever. In fact, I’m thinking
of going to 189 just for grins. I am in better shape today than I have been in
20 years. I played ball till I was 47 years old, and I am in better shape now
than I was then. I’ve recommended Kevin’s Liberation Program to anyone who is
serious about getting physically fit. Kevin’s program is a home run.

Best human practices and practical concepts
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.
Within 3 weeks on this program, I lost 10 pounds (5.3% body weight) and my husband lost 15 pounds (6.5% body weight). 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 Tate – Yardley PA.

Initiating a fitness program at the age of
61 and with many years of
non-athletic lifestyle, my expectations were almost
laughable.
I signed up with Visionary
Trainers in January, 2008; with a goal to lose a middle-age "spare
tire" and build some muscular definition. Initiating a fitness
program at the age of 61 and with many years of non-athletic lifestyle, my
expectations were almost laughable. I started working out 1/24/08
(5'-11" and weighing about 166 to 168#), working out three times a week, 2
workouts with the trainer and one more solo. You could not say that I was
overweight, but I was definitely out of shape, with a distinct belly.
Within the first three months, I started shedding body fat and my weight
dropped to 162#. But then, I started gaining weight again (alarming at
first!) and learned that I was now building muscle and gaining mass. I
reached 175.0# on 7/23 and about a week later, I started to run 3-days/week
(alternating days with the weight training), following a 10-week plan for
slowly building up the joints and stamina to jog 3 miles. In reality, it
took me many more weeks to reach the 3-mile goal... just a week ago in
mid-October.
On 9/9 I weighed in at 172.0# (the few pounds loss
attributed to running) and today (10/15/08) at 169#. The "belly" (not
the waist) started at 39.0" back on 1/24 and since 9/24 has held steady at
35.0"... you can even see some abs muscle definition, though far from a
6-pack! The upper arms (biceps/triceps area) are over 2" bigger than
when I started, and the chest has grown 2.5" to 41.5". The thighs
don't show as much change (an inch max and holding steady due to running, but
hard & solid), and calves show about 3/4" increase.
Yesterday, I had to wear a suit and tie and was amazed at
how much my body has changed. The pants were loose, but the jacket was
tight around my back and shoulders and the sleeves (from the growth of chest,
back and shoulders) were too short. I guess I should look at that as all
good! I'm hoping to continue on to improve to the next level, and am
mixing in some bodyweight training to further the physical and my personal
challenge.
Honestly, I must admit that when I looked at all the pictures (and compared them side-by-side), I was pleasantly surprised. I took the pictures myself using a tripod and the timer feature on the camera, so I was also able to take shots from angles one normally cannot see of one's own body. If I may say so myself, I've come a long way!
Best regards,

As Executive Vice President of a medical consulting firm, 100 hour work weeks are more the rule than the exception. So when I decided two month ago to get serious about a fitness program that would become a routine part of my life, I came to a conclusion that initially seemed counterintuitive- find a nutritionally based fitness program offered by a seasoned trainer that would come to my office in the middle of my busy day. Kevin Brown, CEO of Visionary Trainers, had such a fitness program that could accommodate my needs.
At the time I began working with Visionary Trainers, I weighed nearly 250lbs, felt tired and mentally drained throughout most of the day. Kevin Brown met with me and designed a fitness program that included the following:
- Advice on healthful meal portions of proteins, carbohydrates and dairy products;
- Nutritional advice on vitamin and mineral supplements with high bioavailability;
- An strength training regimen and routine aerobic exercises.
After 7 weeks of training with Visionary Trainers, following their healthful meal plan, and using recommended nutritional supplements from New Vision, I have lost approximately 16 lbs, gained muscle mass, and most importantly doubled my energy level. I now feel physically strong and mentally alert as I go through a typical 100 hour work week. The overall improvement in the quality of my physical and mental state has moved me to become part of the team at Visionary Trainers. As Chief Medical Officer (CMO) for Visionary Trainers I believe I can help other physicians understand and articulate the benefits of a balanced fitness approach to their patients. I look forward to providing medical oversight to Visionary Trainers and working within the medical community on a nutrition and fitness program that I know can make a difference.

Drug-Free and Happy Together
Absolutely everything Kevin Brown told my husband and I could happen if we followed his recommended way of eating, supplements and exercise did happen in a very short period of time. We followed Kevin’s recommendations, to a lesser and now greater degree for about six weeks. We have lost weight, were relieved of chronic pain, no longer require certain medications, have more stable moods, less stress, an improved life and in many ways an improved relationship. We experienced some of these results right away and saw all of them in about four weeks. We did not follow the program precisely but we did commit to it long term. Our goal was simply to loose some weight but we have seen much more pervasive and profound effects. We highly recommend that you give it serious consideration.
Dean and I are by nature skeptical. We are both in high pressure competitive industries and not inclined to trust people or feel good programs that will ‘change your life’. However, a very dear friend had asked me to join her to hear Kevin Brown speak about nutrition and lifestyle. She told me Kevin had a great message that I needed to hear because it would revolutionize they way I thought about nutrition, and of course, it would ‘change my life’. I admired her enthusiasm but it would take a lot more than an hour lecture to revolutionize anything about me. I am 46 years of age and have been reading diet books, going on and off diets, joining and quitting gyms, staying at health spas, researching nutrition and reading self help books for at least 30 of those years. I wasn’t expecting anything new or anything that I would or could follow for more than a week. Remarkably, what I heard was a very new message about a very old and common sense way of eating and living that was brilliant in its simplicity. Kevin Brown suggested that we eat the way healthy societies have been eating for at least as long as those habits had been recorded. He recommended we use common sense and stop eating artificial synthetic food. Eat fats, protein and limited carbohydrates from raw milk products, eggs and grass fed animals. Eat fruits and vegetables in season which are grown locally and without pesticides and eat bone based soups. Don’t wash the salts and nutrients from your system through excessive drinking of water. Eat two or at most three meals a day and exercise. Kevin explained that our modern foods are loaded with MSG and chemicals which set up a craving for more food and kept society fat. He implored the group open our eyes and take an honest look at the degree to which we succumbed to food industry marketing.
I was impressed and signed up to have Kevin come to our home for an hour session so that my husband could hear Kevin’s program. Dean was not receptive even a little to the idea – but he agreed. Both my husband and I are were overweight and becoming unhealthier. We had talked for over a year about doing something about it but were too tired to ever take action. Our eating habits and lack of exercise affected the way we felt physically, our moods and the amount of medications we required. At 42 my husband was already pre-diabetic, on high blood pressure medications, and on non-narcotic pain killers which he required daily to alleviate chronic pain associated with two back surgeries. These medications were required just to allow him to get out of bed in the morning and move with some flexibility. All of these conditions were aggravated by the extra weight. I had gained 20 pounds since we were married and was at least 25 pounds overweight. I was on low doses of anti-depressants which I thought I should no longer need but couldn’t seem to cut out. I had been trying to wean myself off of them for a year, with my doctor’s knowledge, after taking them for nearly 10 years. We felt bad and we were beginning to look bad. We had all the side effects of unhealthy living from lack of energy to mood swings to depression. So we listened to Kevin’s message and we heard it. He weighted us and he told us to set goals and to make a commitment. My husband was at 303 pounds with an initial goal of losing 50 pounds in 8 months. I was at 144 with a goal of 25 pounds in 3 and half months. We decided to commit to this regardless of our skepticism – I believe it was the fact that this was a program that made sense and included foods we liked to eat.
We found local farms on line and we started to visit them - buying all of our raw milk products, eggs and grass raised meat products locally as Kevin had taught. We began taking cod liver oil, a mineral supplement and Xango daily. We got rid of the fake food in our home. Still we didn’t dive in all at once. This was right before the Holidays and we did supplement Kevin’s diet with the usual cookies, chocolates and rich food which abound that time of year – but we didn’t want as much of these things. Something was already changing in our attitudes and preferences about food. After the Holidays in January we were more consistent and by January 14, my husband, who had not yet started an exercise program, had lost 17 pounds and I had lost 7 pounds. These were not the only effects. I was able to finish with anti-depressants – not through a great conscious effort. I simply didn’t need them anymore. My husband’s chronic pain had diminished to the point that he has not needed to take any prescription pain medications for his back and is comfortable with less harmful over the counter pain relievers. This was not one of his goals or even a consideration in our new eating style. He was surprised; as I was that we didn’t seem to need certain meds we had previously required. Obviously we look better physically. I started with a personal trainer and Dean is now seriously considering beginning his exercise program – so we are feeling the physical improvement.
But another real bonus has been that we are mentally and emotionally better. It has been relaxing and fun to go every week to a farm together, to sit down to meals and to have committed to a type of lifestyle together. It is a new and responsible way of life that we share and it has had the unexpected benefit of making us even closer in our relationship.
This is not like the numerous diets I have experienced and gone off of without much thought. We now know from experience that our eating habits had been quite literally toxic. We have learned how we were meant to eat and having experienced that sensible way of life, the cessation of food cravings, greater energy and greater well being simply would not consider giving that up. We encourage the most skeptical to consider Kevin Brown’s approach to life and we’re confident many successes will follow.

Muscular Dystrophy Improved
Dear Kevin,
I want to thank you for all that you are doing for me. As you know, I've been struggling with this strange disorder called Muscular Dystrophy for over twenty years. I know that I am one of the more fortunate ones living day-to-day with this disorder, my muscle wasting more of an annoyance than completely debilitating. I've been to the best doctors in the field, each offering no real treatment or comfort from my disability. I have to say that this is the first time since my diagnosis that I've actually seen improvement and I owe it all to you. Your belief in me, your patience and understanding, your regimen of hard work, vitamin and mineral supplements, and your dedication has been a blessing to me. The improvement I've made although pales in comparison to many "normal" people, is remarkable. I'm not the only one that has noticed the change. My progress has inspired many close to me to take up the challenge to change their life. The challenge is to make a commitment to eat better, to exercise regularly, and to be truly healthy.
Again, I thank you for all that you've done for me and
for inspiring those around me.
Best regards and God bless!

Fasting works for me!
I want to thank Kevin Brown for all his information on the Liberation diet. I’ve struggled with my weight for 20 years. As my weight slowly crept past 200 pounds, I really began to lose hope. I tried so many of those fad diets out on the market, I lost track of the count. Finally, I decided I would consult a doctor on having gastric by-pass surgery. Well, the doctor said I wasn’t fat enough! He said I would have to gain about another 20 pounds before I would qualify for the surgery. I thought that was one of the craziest things I’d ever heard: “o.k., let me get this straight; I need to gain 20 pounds in order to get skinny?!” My sister told me I needed to meet Kevin Brown and hear his message on the Liberation Diet. I agreed, because at this point, what did I have to lose, other than about 100 pounds? After listening to Kevin, I thought his program would be impossible, because I simply just loved to eat. His idea of fasting was the most ludicrous part to me! How could I go without a meal? I would starve!
Well, I started the diet slowly; changing my eating habits a step at a time, but I have managed to lose 55 pounds in just 5 months. And the fasting part of the diet was the thing that really helped me get past cravings and shrink my stomach, and now continues to help me keep from eating junk food. I used to be a binge and comfort eater. Now I eat when I’m hungry and don’t eat when I’m not. I highly recommend the Liberation Diet for people who have struggled with their weight for years and years. And don’t be afraid to fast! It really works!

"Wow! You look great!"
Yesterday I walked into our annual association meeting, and met a large group of people I hadn't seen in a year. "Wow! You look great!" said one. "You've gotten so skinny!" said another. What had happened in that year? I met Kevin Brown. Kevin and I have been working together for over a year now, and everything about my health has gotten better. I both look and feel better than ever before. I've gone from dreading my exercise sessions, to loving them and looking forward to them. Kevin has just the right combination of encouragement, pushing, discipline and fun. He's a great trainer. I've recommended him to all my friends. I'd recommend him to you too.

Help with Sheehan's Syndrome
Just a note to say I am immensely pleased with my training sessions! I am extremely pleased with the results. I can comfortably wear my skirts again! I can wear jeans! I can tuck a blouse in! I have lost five pounds.
Everything else has either shifted back to the right place or been converted to muscle!
Since I've had Sheehan's syndrome, I've seen many rapid, negative changes to my body. In the time I have trained with Visionary Trainers, my muscles have awakened and are nicely sculpted! I am also stronger.
My 12 year old son wrestles with me...and guess who wins! I am just so pleased.
