The interview

How has your physical performance and energy changed recently?

I went for my first five kilometer run that I do very often. It was one of my fastest times in the last few years. Usually it'll take me three, four, five months to build up to this stamina. Just overall I feel so much lighter, so much more energy. I'm not tired mid-afternoon like I used to be every day at 2 or 3 o'clock. Now I'm full of energy all day.

What was your life like before joining the Living Proof Institute?

My life was very up and down. I was very athletic and working out five, six times a week, sometimes twice a day. But I was eating whatever I wanted and staying up late. It was a real up-and-down roller coaster.

What made you decide to say yes to the program?

I've tried everything and I felt like I needed the support and the help of the institute to really get me to achieve my goals and where I wanted to be with my health and my life.

How would you describe the journey and the support you received?

My journey has been fantastic. I felt very comfortable the whole way through. The support was amazing. Anytime I needed anything, any questions I had or anything I was curious or unsure about, they guided me through the process step by step. It was very comfortable and easy to follow.

How does their approach differ from what you have tried in the past?

Their approach is different because it was 'do a lot less and see more results.' I thought it was impossible to stop exercising and stop working out and then see results that I've never imagined were possible. It's not as hard as people think it is. Eating proper, healthy, nutritious foods and eating the right amounts of it—which I had no clue on—is now very clear to me.

What specific results have you seen in your daily life and body?

In 70 days this transformation happened. I'm down almost 45 pounds. Before that, it was barely a pound a week and I thought this would take seven or eight months to a year of torture. When I see people I haven't seen in a week or two, they're in shock. People on the soccer field couldn't believe how much faster and lighter I am.

Who would you like to recognize from the team?

I would like to shout out Alice. Alice has been a fantastic coach and very knowledgeable and reliable. She would respond right away with support and motivation. Sachin has been fantastic as well; he's been awesome along this journey.

Frequently asked

Is it possible to see health results while exercising less?

Yes. Alex Bartolomeo initially thought it was impossible to stop intense workouts and still see results, but he found that doing less exercise while eating proper, nutritious foods led to a transformation he never imagined was possible.

How long does it take to lose significant weight with Living Proof Institute?

While Alex expected a 45-pound loss to take up to a year of 'torture,' he achieved this specific result in just 70 days through the institute's guided process.

What kind of support does Living Proof Institute provide?

Alex reports that the support was amazing and step-by-step. He specifically highlighted his coach, Alice, for being knowledgeable, reliable, and responding to questions or concerns immediately.

Full transcript

I went for my first five kilometer run that I do very often. And at the beginning of the year, once the weather clears up, is usually my slowest times I would say. And I went last week and it was one of my fastest times in the last few years. And usually it'll take me three, four, five months to build up to this stamina. Just overall I feel so much lighter, so much more energy. I'm not tired, you know, mid-afternoon, that I used to be every day and want to take a nap around 2, 3 o'clock. Now I'm full of energy all day. Alex Bartolomeo... Woodbridge, Ontario, Canada. My life before the Living Proof Institute was very up and down. I was very athletic. I was working out a lot - five, six times a week, sometimes twice a day. But I was eating whatever I wanted. I was staying up late. I always felt tired and it was a real up-and-down roller coaster. What made me say yes to Living Proof Institute was... I've tried everything and I felt like I needed the support and the help of the institute to really get me to achieve my goals and where I wanted to be with my health and my life. My journey with the Living Proof Institute has been fantastic. I felt very comfortable the whole way through. The support was amazing. Anytime I needed anything, any questions I had or anything I was curious or unsure about, they guided me through the process step by step. So it was very comfortable and easy to follow. Their approach is different than anything I've tried in the past because it was "do a lot less and see more results." I thought it was impossible to you know, stop exercising and stop working out and then see results that I've never imagined were possible. It's not as hard as people think it is. Eating proper, healthy, nutritious foods and eating the right amounts of it - which I had no clue on really what that was. But now it's very, very clear to me. My life has changed tremendously. I now value food so much more. I enjoy how the food tastes. I'm not just rushing and eating whatever is available. The main reason I would recommend the Living Proof Institute to others would be... just on how fast the process is. My understanding before the Institute was that, to lose this amount of weight and feel this good would take, you know, six months to a year to even two years to even get close to these numbers. When I see people that I haven't seen in a week or two weeks, they're in shock. I see people on the soccer field and they couldn't believe how much faster I am, how much lighter I am, how quickly I move. And it feels so good to hear these compliments and to see these things for myself. So, in 70 days this transformation happened, which I thought would be impossible. I'm down almost 45 pounds. Before that it was barely a pound a week to two weeks and I'm like, 'this is going to take like seven, eight months to a year of torture.' And you know, I couldn't believe it. I would like to shout out Alice. Alice has been a fantastic coach and very knowledgeable and reliable and any questions or any concerns or anything I've had, she would respond right away and support and the motivation. and... you know, give me that little extra push and reassurance that I'm on the right track and I'm doing great. Sachin has been fantastic as well. He's been awesome along this journey as well. I really never thought this was possible.
