“With Gloria’s Nutritional Lifestyle program, I lost 55 pounds in about 5 months. Her personal oversight, practical suggestions and on-going enthusiastic encouragement are part of the effectiveness of the program. She used various approaches: a shopping expedition to a healthy foods store; recipes, after asking what my preferred cooking habits were, and no more recipes when it was clear I wasn’t going to use more; the offer of cooking lessons/demonstration; and advice for shopping. I enjoyed my sessions with Gloria and appreciated that she asked about my living habits and showed me ways to make life healthier. We usually went for a walk after our meeting, another great personal touch.” ~ G.W.
“I think you are terrific-friendly and understanding and certainly willing to assist in any way; either by phone or in person. I certainly needed the kindness you showed during a very difficult time in my life.” ~ S.S.
“I learned how to eat a more balanced diet, using what I call the Three Majors at every sitting. This helped me eliminate cravings very effectively, and made me feel better about what I consume. I also got serious about exercising again, and am back at a regular program 3-4 times a week in the gym, plus daily walks.
The best thing about this program is that it propelled me back into the gym again, and that was a real triumph I woe to you! Also, watching the food intake has become a habit too, and you certainly succeeded with me there! There was no boredom factor in the food prep, and I have become much more vigilant about what I put into my mouth!” ~ F.K.
