The interview

What was your life like before joining Living Proof Institute?

My life before was pretty healthy although I had a nightly habit of sitting down with some drinks which really wasn't to my benefit at all.

What made you decide to join the program?

What made me say yes to LPI was the fact that they advertise transparency and honesty and that really resonated with me. When I met with Annalisa, my coach, she sealed the deal; I was like okay no this is for me.

Did you have any hesitations before getting started?

If there was anything that would made me hesitant to get started with Living Proof Institute it would have been the cost initially but actually Annalisa didn't pressure me when that fact came up. My husband stepped in and supported me, saying 'let's do it' during a walk.

What physical changes did you notice during your journey?

My inflammation and pain in my body literally disappeared within the first 10 pounds. I noticed it right away on my dog walks; I stopped every 250 feet prior, and here I was walking 2 kilometers and the pain was gone. Now I am able to walk 5 or 10 kilometers with no pain.

How is this approach different from other diets you have tried?

Their approach is different from the Noom, the Weight Watchers, the online diets and the fact that this is all encompassing. You have a module, you have a login, you have a coach, you have weekly meetings. It's really about accountability and just learning all the different facets that are creating things in your body that are not allowing you to lose that weight.

What surprised you the most about the program?

What surprised me the most was the speed that the weight released like every day I stepped on the scale I was down a pound, two pounds, 0.5. I learned that the days I was up it was because I didn't drink enough water or sleep enough or I ate something that my body didn't like.

How has your lifestyle and mindset changed?

I now look at healing and health with fueling my body as opposed to just eating mindlessly. I now actually walk in a grocery store and basically do the vegetables and fruits protein and I'm done. I am able to wake up without brain fog and just get right to task.

What would have happened if you hadn't joined the program?

Had I not done this I would be 30 pounds heavier and I would still be in pain and I would still be searching for the solution.

My life before was pretty healthy although I had a nightly habit of sitting down with some drinks which really wasn't to my benefit at all. What made me say yes to LPI was the fact that they advertise transparency and honesty and that really resonated with me because that's something that I really try to exude at all times and then when I met with Annalisa, my coach she sealed the deal, I was like okay no this is for me. If there was anything that would made me hesitant to get started with Living Proof Institute it would have been the cost initially but actually Annalisa didn't pressure me when that fact came up, I said you mind if I go for a walk? And she's like yeah no problem get back to me and my husband had stepped in during the conversation and on that dog walk he's like no Jo-Ann I support this like let's do it. My journey in health with Living Proof Institute has been one that my inflammation and pain in my body literally disappeared within the first 10 pounds. I'm not even sure it was just the pounds, I think it was more the foods I was eating that was inflammatory and I noticed it right away on my dog walks I stopped every 250 feet prior here I was walking 2 kilometers and going the pain's gone it was great, I loved it. Their approach is different from the Noom, the Weight Watchers, the online diets and the fact that this is all encompassing. You have a module, you have a login, you have a coach, you have weekly meetings. It's really about accountability and just learning all the different facets that are creating things in your body that are not allowing you to lose that weight so it's just everything you need right there. What surprised me the most was the speed that the weight released like every day I stepped on the scale I was down a pound, two pounds, 0.5 and the days I was up it was because I didn't drink enough water or sleep enough or I ate something that my body didn't like so it was the speed of weight loss. I now look at healing and health with fueling my body as opposed to just eating mindlessly, I now actually walk in a grocery store and basically do the vegetables and fruits protein and I'm done because I only want to stick things in me that are going to heal me and keep me healthy. What I'm able to do now is sit at night with my husband and sip on Perrier, sip on flavored waters and I'm able to wake up without brain fog and just get right to task, I'm able to walk that dog 5 kilometers, 10 kilometers with no pain so my life has really just become so much freer and just an overall positive. The main reason I would recommend Living Proof Institute to others is because it works. I'm just about to start round two so I'm a testament to hey, if I can do it anyone can do it. I'd love to give a shout out to my coach Annalisa and Dipa and Sachin. Their information is invaluable and their support is just what propels you forward. My husband has benefited from me being on this journey because I'm no longer a pain to go for a walk with although he was super tolerant, I only found out later how much of a pain I was and my dog obviously can get a little more joy from longer walks and less stops. So I think anyone in your life would benefit because you're just a better person so you can give more. Had I not done this I would be 30 pounds heavier and I would still be in pain and I would still be searching for the solution. Hi, I'm Jo-Ann Floreal from Toronto Ontario, Canada.
