My Fit List: MEET GABY! Another Testimony of Transformation. WOW!

This girl is AMAZING! She exemplifies the perfect client. I started her on my "Metabolic Reset" meal plan a couple of months ago and she has been the STAR student. She committed to the plan every step of the way and the results have been phenomenal in such a short period of time.

I am so proud of her. She has turned her metabolism into an inferno and in 8 short weeks, she already emodies a new person.

Gaby is going to share her story of change with you, and she tells it so well there's not much else I need to say. But I will tell you this....she has inspired ME. My strength and determination is no match for hers. She is going to be JUST FINE from now on. She has learned how healthy happens. Becoming healthy is a journey and she's got the rest of her life to do it.

Enjoy Gaby's Story! It tells a lot about her personal experience AND it will give you great insight into how the plan works.

You will also get to see her before and after photos!!

I met Liz a couple years ago in WA when I joined a gym in a last ditch effort to drop some weight. My husband and I were trying for a baby and I didn’t want to be the 200 lb pregnant lady. Liz was teaching the group fitness classes there, and she was a whirling dervish of energy, enthusiasm, and fitness “know how.” I believe I dubbed her Lady Crazy Pants because her classes were so tough. But somehow, she made me actually like working out. I exercised for 5 months before and all through my pregnancy. After I had my baby and I felt up to it, I went back to the gym. I worked out 5 days a week for an hour every day for the next 4 months...but I didn’t lose a single pound.

I decided then and there to call in reinforcements. Unfortunately, Liz had moved away. Would she want to help me even though we lived 3000 miles away? Of course the answer was yes! She was the first person to be brutally honest, and she said to me, “You are not losing weight because you are eating trash! Exercise all you want, but it will not do a thing unless you clean up your nutrition.” So, I put myself into her hands and hoped for the best.

Nobody really believes that weight loss is 80% nutrition and 20% exercise, but it is true. I have been dropping weight steadily ever since I changed my nutrition. The most important thing is that I am dropping body fat while maintaining my muscle mass. Let me give you an example. I am currently 159 lbs and have a body fat content of 33.8%. When I got out of the Army, I weighed around 140 lbs, with a body fat content of roughly 32%. WHAT?!?! How is it possible that at almost 20 pounds heavier, I almost have the same BF content that I did when I was in peak physical condition? It is because I am finally nourishing my body and because of that, my body is finally releasing the excess baggage.

Liz started me out on a raw food cleanse. For 10 days, I had freshly juiced organic produce in the morning and huge salads for lunch and dinner. Liz was able to work with the fact that I was nursing and had to maintain certain caloric and nutritional needs. Then she moved me to her plan. I eat 3 meals and 3 snacks every day, about 3 hours apart. I also try to drink a gallon of water every day. I don’t eat “rabbit food”, but real food. I eat everything from beef to green veggies. I have pasta, I have cheese and bread. I DO NOT feel like I am “dieting”. I never feel hungry. I lift weights and do cardio, but I don’t spend all day in the gym.

The best part about this lifestyle is that I am learning so much while I am doing it. Liz didn’t just tag me and release me back out into the wild. She is there every step of the way. Every week I check in with her and tell her how I am doing (if I don’t, she gently reminds me). If I have concerns or questions, I call her. If I have a breakdown and want to cram a large order of onion rings and a fat burger down my pie hole, I can call her. She explains why my body is responding so well to the food I am eating. She has taught me how to maintain this lifestyle when I reach my goal.

That’s what this is, a lifestyle, not a diet. If you want to maintain a healthy body, you have to watch your portions; you have to watch your calories, you have to fill your body with nourishing superfoods. That isn’t to say that you can never indulge yourself. Of course you can, you just have to practice moderation. Most importantly, you must forget the scale and focus on health. If I never get below 150, but my body fat is 20% and my lean muscle is 80%, I will be happy with that. That right there is probably the most important lesson that Liz has taught me.

I know there are some people out there are thinking “Why would you need someone to help you eat healthy, that’s so easy!” However, if you are like me and you have no idea where to start, you’ve come to the right place. It is OK to ask for help. It doesn’t mean that you are weak, or stupid or whatever. It means you want to get healthy. Liz will help you get there. She has helped me so much and it has only been two months! I feel better, I have tons of energy, I look great and I will be able to ensure that my son can grow up happy and healthy as well. Best of all, my husband and I will be around to see that happen.
