This Program Works for ANYONE It Touches

If you are on the fence about Julie or if you're on the waiting list hoping you're not about to waste $600, I have a story that will put all your fears or apprehensions to rest once and for all.

My wife is currently on Julie's wait list.

We couldn't go at the same time owing to work responsibilities and childcare issues, etc.

That and I wanted to see if this was going to work before I shelled out $1200 instead of $600. Let's just be honest about it.

I remember the day my wife came home from the doctor in 2002 sobbing because they'd found sugar in her urine.

34 years old and she had Diabetes. It was inevitable. All her female relatives have had it.

But getting it at 34 is just ridiculous.

I have always been a bit concerned with how she manages it and there have been a couple blood sugar scares along the way.

It's 11 years later now and things are starting to catch up to both of us now that we're in our 40s.

Once I started on the Program, I simply stopped putting things on the table I couldn't eat. I still make mac 'n cheese for my son. He's Autistic and only eats certain foods.

He gets a pass.

I've been serving nothing but meat and vegetables at dinner for the past two months now (I do 90% of the cooking at home). My wife continues to hit the drive-thru and continues drinking diet soda.

She says she's slowed down but I see the empty bags in her car.

I know how she defines "slowing down."

Here's an idea of just how well this program works.

She's eating like I eat for one meal a day.

She has actually been slowing down more than I expected on the fast food. I'll give her props for that. It's still a thing, but it's a smaller thing.

Following the diet one meal a day, she went to our doctor today and I got this text from her afterward:

"In just over 3 months, my blood sugar A1C has gone from a 10 to 7.5. Goal is below 7. Dr Johnson is THRILLED...Turns out she went to key a few months ago and looks it."

She's been following my lead at dinner and that's what has happened. I can only imagine what's going to happen when she's All In.

And... bonus! Our doctor is also a friend of Julie now so she can keep our weight a secret and help us succeed AND we know that our doctor not only gets it but endorses it. That's a huge deal to me.

  1. This is all exciting news for you and your wife Joe! I look forward to hearing your wife's journey too!

    It's fantastic that your doctor supports the program!
    My doctor is supportive of this program too and I never have to worry about her or her staff telling me my weight.

    Sometimes people are excited to share their numbers after they are told them by accident. Each time we tell someone the number, we are telling our mind how much weight to gain.

    We've all learned to speak about weight loss in sizes rather than numbers on the scale, although once in a while I do speak about how much weight I've lost.

  2. The way I see it, as long as it remains vague it's not going to "reset" the weight clock. There is going to come a time when I'm going to need to know my weight so I know where my start point is but that's not today. I do wish I knew when I crossed the line from the 300s to the 200s again, though. I feel like sometimes this program doesn't allow us to celebrate any milestones. I also know it's about being well not about pounds so t doesn't bother me that much.
