If you think dieting just isn�t for you, read what people on the Life-Transforming Diet used to say and are saying now:

Although I�m an avid reader of diet books, I myself have never lost weight permanently.�

�After losing and regaining thousands of pounds, I finally found an answer to my prayers: a way of life that is healthy, spiritual, fulfilling, and that facilitates weight loss.�

I feel tired a lot of the time, and my energy levels are low.

Since I have been on this program I have seen a major change in my general mood and emotional reactions��.I am much more patient and much less impulsive.

I can�t sustain complicated and time-consuming exercise workouts.ï

The basic, well-rounded Life-Transforming exercise program is not about complexity but rather simplicity and practicality.

�Each diet I�ve been on has had its positive aspects, but ultimately I felt bored and deprived by their monotonous repetitiveness.�

On the Life-Transforming Diet, I am able to customize my own program to suit my schedule and interests exactly the way I like it.�
