Our Russian babysitter gained approximately 25 pounds from when she came to the US approximately a year ago until she starting living with us about six months ago. She said she filled herself on ice cream and the SAD Diet - Standard American Diet. That would do it.
She started a cleanse within a couple weeks of moving in with us and lost perhaps 3 to 5 pounds. Many Americans would be discouraged with that, but she continued drinking 1 JOOS per day, consuming at least 90% of her diet consisting of whole foods and barely eating dinner at night, if at all. Each week she got on the scale she lost 1/2 to 1 pound. Sometimes not even that much. Still, she persisted.
In April, she did her second JOOS Cleanse and lost another 8 lbs. She looks absolutely gorgeous and she is so happy! She goes throughout the day giggling, which is contagious.
Not to be hard on Americans, but I wish more of us would adopt her attitude. She never said to me, "I can't do this." She never complained that it's coming off too slowly. She didn't give up and she didn't look for an alternative diet.
She knew that this was going to be a process and she accepted it, without attitude.
We, as Americans, are accustomed to quick fixes. We starve ourselves, then binge, because we didn't pace ourselves. We go on so many diets that don't work. We're often impatient or just give up.
You can lose weight. We can help you realize your goal, but we adopt a different philosophy than most weight loss companies: We believe that first you must focus on your health and, with it, naturally you will lose the weight.
It may take two or three JOOS Cleanses before you realize your goals. If you find a program in which you lose your weight over night, there's a very high chance that you're going to gain it overnight.
We have a staff of Lifestyle Counselors who would love to support you through this process. We would love to work with you!
To Your Health,
Lauri
