The interview
What led you to contact Living Proof Institute?
I'm a stress eater I need to be accountable to somebody. I've tried many plans. I know how get rid of weight. If I don't have somebody to follow me along, I tend not to be accountable to myself. So I contacted Living Proof. I think this is what I need.
What was their approach to your health and nutrition?
It's a complete package of everything I've been pondering. Their approach was food change, eliminating a lot of inflammatory foods, which felt like I had some food intolerances. They have you do like journaling, gratitude, and they have classes every Friday to sort of keep you going.
What physical changes did you notice after starting the program?
A huge difference when I started following the food plan. 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. Like within two days, my sinuses cleared.
How did you feel about the weight loss results?
Even as I was losing weight—or releasing weight—it felt like much more. I was down 10 pounds, but I felt like I was down 20, so that was a real eye opener for me, was the amount of inflammation that probably was in my body.
What is your experience working with Dipa and the team?
Dipa is awesome. She's a very encouraging, lots of information. You get the support, obviously, from Dipa and the crew. 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.
How has your daily life changed since joining?
I definitely have more energy. I'm doing more in the kitchen. I'm really liking meal planning or, you know, trying new things. I'm just more comfortable. I'm wearing cute clothes.
