As a child I was not over weight. I guess all that candy and soda caught up with me. However when I hit about 15, the weight came back off, I was a cheerleader in the fall, and I played softball in the spring,and did a lot of other activities in between. Then when I hit 18 I really started to work out. The discovery of pizza, beer, bars, guys and friends. I had an asthma attack, and went to the Doctors and that is when he told me, if I keep going this route I would die! I was hitting near lbs and heading down the road of disaster.

I ended up going down to about lbs. That seems to be where my weight stayed for years, and I excepted that. If you punch in my height and weight, I was at the top of my average range. People in my family made comments here and there but nothing to make me think differently. I thought this is where I was suppose to stay. In the summer of , I was stressed out with life!

I was shocked to find out how many calories there were in my favorite foods. I thought ordering a salad from Baja Fresh was a good idea! Having reduced fat desserts from Starbucks was ok,nope.

Having full hearty meals, with protein, a pinch of fat and carbs will keep me filled for 3 or 4 hours. Snacks are important to keep the metabolism flowing.

Be a smart consumer and read those labels.

Our Most Inspiring Before & After Weight Loss Photos

April 3, at 4: Congratulations on your weight loss you have realy inspired me n great advice too. I found the 80Bites approach of combining various food groups and maintaining regular eating intervals to make good sense. I believe it would prevent the feeling of deprivation that is so much a part of dieting and also the reason many diets fail. I tried to consume 2 litres of water a day in addition to a diet of high water content foods such as salads and vegetables.

I like the notion of a balanced meal. This will help clients return to a healthier and safer eating philosophy. Having been a dancer by profession most of my life, I definitely have had food issues and disordered eating. The program makes many points that ring true to me personally. So much so that we obsess and ultimately end up gaining weight.

I also agree that being consistent in quantity is a must. It all made sense. I feel it is something that can make a difference to help people regain control, but also to enjoy eating without so much excess baggage. This plan for life makes so much sense! Eating a normal diet in smaller amounts and more consistently has already helped me lose weight and sustain energy. This is an easy, efficient and effective program for a lifetime of healthy and happy eating!

I had 92 kg when I started and lost 3 kg in the first week already, without any stress. I participate in many tournaments and often play several matches on a single day. Although I only ate the nutrient bars, I was feeling great and also had much energy. I lost 6 kg after week 2 and felt great with 86 kg. I did the cure for 3 weeks and then started combining the bars with some salad and vegetables in the 4 th week. I work at a computer the entire day and quickly realized that iSANO made my tiredness in the afternoon disappear completely. I was more focused and more efficient.

My sleep behavior has improved as well. I have been sleeping through the night since week 2 and am rested and fit in the morning. I also realized I was more mobile during tennis matches and regeneration after exhausting tournaments on weekends was significantly improved and short. I am absolutely impressed after those 4 weeks and will include the nutrient bar into my daily nutrition to avoid empty calories and pointless substitute meals consciously in the future.

I love eating a delicious steak or similar food now, however, I eat more consciously than before. The advantages are huge. Best regards from Mainz. I ate about 8 to 9 bars a day for five days, and nothing else, and I lost almost all of those 4 kilos. It was totally easy and I felt really good. The fast success was a great incentive. However, the bars convinced me also because I was as efficient as always at work and when doing my weekly runs. I never was in a bad mood.

The only disadvantage was that I did not have one joint meal or a glass of wine with my friends in those days. Since I successfully lost weight with the bars, I have always had them at home and in my bag. The bars are exceptionally helpful — as snack in-between or also as replacement for an entire day. I can only recommend the product and am glad that I already know it and made this experience.

Thank you so much. My boyfriend has graduated in nutrition science so he is the one responsible for health and balanced nutrition. It has become very expensive, however, to eat in the right and healthy way, and also very time-consuming. When we got to know iSANO he busied himself with the details and was enthusiastic about how perfect the single nutrients were for making our body as efficient as possible.

Not only can I maintain my weight but also I have much more energy than before. I never managed to lose weight with a lasting effect as a result of too many sweets and hot meals for dinner. I almost exclusively ate the iSANO bar, which is rather neutral in taste, during the first week.

As of week 2, I started having dinner with my family again yes, I do love this habit. Despite this combination, I achieved my desired weight of 87 kg after two and a half months and I feel totally relieved and fit. I also started trampolining in the 2 nd week because long runs were not possible due to joint pain. Trampolining was a good balance. I will continue eating iSANO during the day. Therefore, I often do not have enough time to eat regularly and nutritiously.
