The interview

What led you to contact Living Proof Institute?

I'm a stress eater and I need to be accountable to somebody. I've tried many plans and I know how to get rid of weight, but if I don't have somebody to follow me along, I tend not to be accountable to myself. I contacted Living Proof because it felt like a complete package of everything I've been pondering.

What was their specific approach to your health?

Their approach was food change, eliminating a lot of inflammatory foods, which felt like I had some food intolerances. It made a huge difference when I started following the food plan.

How quickly did you notice physical changes?

The inflammation... like, I had pain in my hands, my sinuses were always stuffed, I couldn't sleep at night on my one hip, and all that's gone. Within two days, my sinuses cleared.

What support structures does the program provide?

They have you do journaling and gratitude. They have classes every Friday to sort of keep you going, and that's a lifetime thing that you keep doing even when you reach your goal. Dipa is awesome; she's very encouraging and provides lots of information.

What were your results regarding weight and energy?

Even as I was releasing weight, it felt like much more. I was down 10 pounds, but I felt like I was down 20 because of the amount of inflammation that was in my body. I definitely have more energy, I'm doing more in the kitchen, and I'm wearing cute clothes.

Why would you recommend this program to others?

I would recommend Living Proof Institute Program because it's amazing and it's an all-in package. I just liked that it was not just a diet, it's a lifestyle, to make you think about things and want to keep doing it and feeling so much better.
