"... I wanted to thank you program so much. I have lost 15 pounds. I have to tell you when I first started I skeptical for several reasons. First I, like everyone else had tried every single imaginable diet and NONE worked. I am sure you have heard this story so many times. Plus I could tell every time I went off of one of the FAD diets my body paid for it. I felt tired and unhealthy. When I first tried your program I thought a pound a week, please, this is so slow because the FAD diets always promise (and sometimes deliver) fast weight loss. But of course you put it right back on. I started your program and I did well for a 2 weeks, then I went back to my old habits for 2 weeks. Finally, starting to see the weight coming on again, I went right back on it. And, I have been on it for about 12 weeks now. I used the chart religiously I crossed out something every time I ate. I carried it in my purse so I wouldn't forget. And, it started working. I feel so good. I still have about 10 pounds to go, but I know I can do it, just as long as I stick to the program. I think the key for me was snacking. I had a yogurt every afternoon just before my hunger urge kicked in. My weakness was dinner time, when I got home from work. So by eating something before this curtailed the hunger. I also had a piece of low fat string cheese and nuts to offset any hunger. I loved you program. Please feel free to put my compliments on your web page." Thank you LR |
Carolyn,
"I really want to thank you for all your help. I have lost over 69 pounds so far, over a seven month period. I have also lost over 7 inches from my waist. I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful I feel since these changes. I've tried many other diets but none has even come close to the success I've had over the past seven months from following your recommendations and from what I've learned using the Personal Diet. I would love to thank you in person but realize how many others you have had that have expressed similar request after they have succeeded on your diets. I really feel like I'm on my way now and just thought others should know how wonderful you and your program are." "I have gotten truly expert advice from the Personal Dietitian staff (esp. Carolyn) as well as quick responses to all my questions. I had no idea just how much difference a diet professional could make and have been truly satisfied with the whole program- from the cost and value of the program, to the support, and my outcome I couldn't have asked for more than I've received for my money. While I no longer need to continue my membership program I know I can always rely on my Personal Diet, and I'll assure you the membership program (including Carolyn's diet) are what's called for. I really owe you and all the Personal Dietitian Staff my sincerest thanks."
Thanks so much,
L.H.
"I thank
you for the help that you've provided these last four
months.
I've lost a total of 35 pounds... I'm not where I want to be yet, but I feel like I'm really on my
way! I'll keep using the plan
you sent me and my dr. will make any necessary adjustments if
and when I need them." - J.P.
Later J.P. wrote:
"So, yes, I'm sure the
exercise helped, but I know the eating plan was the big
difference. I was just NEVER hungry! I always
tried to save a fruit or yogurt for mid-morning and
mid-afternoon. Spreading out some of the exchanges instead
of just eating three meals a day was great. With your
plan, I knew just what I could do to have a healthier diet and
lifestyle."
Thanks again,
J. P.
"I've been trying to lose the same 20 pounds for the
last ten years. I know quite a bit about nutrition and
knew what I needed to do, but life kept getting in the way of
my efforts. I ate pretty well, but didn't have much control
over my portions because I eat out a lot. What my Personal
Diet Plan did for me was give me the focus and structure I
lacked to make it happen. I didn't realize it would be so easy
once I got started! I'm already half way to my goal and it's
been very motivating. It gave me control over portions
and I didn't even have to change my habits all that much. I
really like the flexibility, I knew I needed a plan where I
could make my own choices and not have to go crazy trying to
stick to one of those regimented meal plans. Thanks for
giving me a plan I could stick with!"

"Hello,
The diet plan is working extremely well for me. As a new mom, I
really wanted to loose those extra pounds, but safely since I am
breastfeeding. I started on Jan. 1and have lost 12 pounds (written
2 months after she started) , and can now fit
into most of my clothes again! My son is now 3 months old and
keeping me very busy. The thing that helped me most is what to eat
and the portions. I now make sure I get enough fruits and veggies a
day, which I think has helped me loose the weight. I really
appreciate the plan you made. I plan on sticking to it....I guess
once I reach my desired goal I can maintain by increasing the bread, fat
area, correct?"-Lisa P
..."Thanks again. I really appreciate the time and effort put into my plan. Wow! Such great help, and you answer so quickly. I had another plan that was so rote it didn't take into account a lot of things that I considered important. And I didn't have options like on this one, which I need because when I eat out it is usually on the spur of the moment. Being Realtors, my husband and I never know whether we will be home in time to cook. I had a problem with almost every meal on the other plan. I have started an exercise program encouraged by my doctor ( I will be walking or swimming for 45 minutes at least 5 days a week). I'm now on my way and feeling enthusiastic. Thanks again. Sincerely, D.H.
"P.S. This eating program is wonderful. I've completely changed my eating habits in only 2 weeks and I don't even crave some of the unhealthy foods that I used to! K.R."
"Hi, I would like to cancel
my account. I have reached the desired weight I have wanted to reach
for a long time. I can also say that my eating habits have changed
considerably. I have actually recommended this site to all my
friends and family and they are willing to give a try. Thank you so
much!"
M.B.
"Carolyn,
I was thrilled to come home and find my diet! Wow! Its
incredible!! Looks like you did an excellent job. I have
already recommended the site to my dad and sister. Thank you for all
your hard work on it. I have one teeny question....I am an admitted
chocolate addict...peanut m&ms, regular m&ms, kisses basically.
How would I count a regular (is there such a thing) size serving of those?
They are a daily happening that I will one day give up. I just want
to say you have a wonderful site and I am truly impressed!"
J. M.
I'd like to cancel ongoing
support at this time. I feel that I have my diet well in hand and am
exercising regularly. Personal Dietician is a very good plan and I
recommend it whenever the opportunity arises. Thank you for
everything!

"
I received my personal diet and was very happy with all of the
information. I really did not expect that detailed of a plan, and was quite
impressed.
Thank you."
Sincerely, Beverly S
"... I
have started in February and thanks to you and YMCA I've lost 25
pounds. I'm still working hard , exercising and trying to eat healthy
food. Now I know that it will be very easy for me to work together with my
body ..." M.G.
"I
think your website is fantastic! I am so thrilled
about finally getting the sort of individual attention in
regards to my weight problem, that I have been
looking for for 6 years! Getting to a weekly meeting
is almost impossible for me and so being able to turn on
my computer when my kids are all in bed at night, and
getting the sort of information I want is wonderful! J.W.
Many of our clients 'were' Jenny Craig & Weight Watchers members.

"Hi. I wanted to let you know that I am losing weight easier than ever before on my new eating plan. I have lost 16 pounds without any feelings of hunger." J.P.
"This is great! Where did you come from? (When my daughter was a little girl, my dad would ask her that, and she would always answer- Heaven.) So far (just printed everything out, quite successfully -- I was holding my breath) this looks fantastic. Comes at just the right moment in my life, too. Thanks. I'll study everything carefully and start getting organized today." Peggy M "
Again, thanks for all your attention to me and my problems. I have lost 15 pounds, so that is progress. I have a personal trainer, so don't worry about me, I'm doing okay. I have gotten a LOT of help from reading the Personal Dietitian information.-PM
"I have been very
pleased with A-PersonalDietitian. I lost 12 pounds within
the first couple of months and have had no trouble keeping it
off. This is the first diet that I have ever tried that
actually works and that allows me to be in complete control of
my weight. I like the flexible and personalized nature of
the diet and the fact that the diet provides me with the
knowledge to understand what types of food I should eat and
why. In the end, it has turned out not to be just about
losing weight, but about being healthy and feeling good."
Thank you.

Dear Carolyn
"I've lost 10 lbs. Your recommendations and guidelines were very easy to follow! However, I don't find many frozen entrees with food exchanges. Typically, I only find weight watchers point system. Do you have a system that converts their point systems to your food exchange? (YES-we do!)
Overall, I can't believe that it has been so easy!. I remember feeling discouraged (impatience) once or twice.
However, I have the following questions!
1) How long after losing weight is my weight stabilized?
2) Should I try to lose an additional five lbs (I'm not planning on returning to my old eating patterns, but I want to be on the safe side) or go on a maintenance diet? If you recommend a maintenance diet, please provide one.
3) Please explain why I can eat more on a maintenance diet and still maintain my weight.
4) In my eating recommendations, you indicated that my diet was compared to a diet that is 25-30% fat, 18-20% protein, and 50% carbohydrate. (How did my previous diet rate in these areas?)
5) Additionally, from reading your assessment of my prior diet, it is really hard to tell where I was having the most difficulties. Was it in the carbohydrate area? Or was it portion control in general? (I don't want to repeat the same mistakes)
6) I believe I have one more month on this plan. Can I try transfer my month to my husband? He's very impressed with my success!
7) In general, I feel that the American diet sucks! As consumers, what can we do to encourage the food industry to prepare more health foods. Health conscious people have to work so hard!" RS
Just want to let you know
that I've been very successful on this diet plan.
I think I've finally found the one that works for me!

"Hi, my name is (name removed for member privacy) and I've been a member of your weekly focus program since 10/26/02. I've been following your plan/guidelines for about 30 weeks now, and am very happy to report that I've lost 38 pounds! I really enjoy your weekly e-mail newsletters, but I'm missing about "six" e-mails..."
"Thanks you thank you so
much! I never thought a diet would have such an impact. I have
lost 2 inches around my waistline, my pants (once very tight- to the point
that they hurt my back) now fit loose and fit very comfortably around my
waist. Thanks to your diet and program I look and feel great.
I haven't been this healthy and light since I was in my 20's -
really. After we had our child I just stopped exercising, started
snacking and eating more and somehow my weight just got away from
me. The diet and meal plan have been very flexible and the meal plan
has been so convenient enough that I have been able to tailor it into
something I truly could live with - as you say. The diet
really made the difference for me and I really appreciated the weekly
support and emails you've sent.
To
be honest I was worried about your program at first. I had
previously paid to the nose at ediets.com
as well as joining some other
free online diets. Having joined these other programs I almost
didn't join yours but because I saw that my diet would be designed by an
individual I thought I'd give it myself one last chance. I'm sure
glad I did!
I only have 3 pounds to go now to obtain my goal. This has been so
much easier than any diet I've ever done. It's always difficult to
diet but thanks to your personal considerations and assistance it has made
all the difference for me. I look forward to receiving the free
maintenance diet. Do I get that through you or can I just sign up in
the members center?
Thank you for
all your help. I look forward to getting my maintenance
diet and getting my increased calorie level- just
kidding! "
