I get teared up whenever I think about how lucky I was to have learned about this little secret.

I call it a secret because if everyone knew, the fitness and diet industry would be out of business!

You see, we don’t have to work out an hour a day, or fast, or eat nothing but kale chips.

Seriously, I am still AMAZED when I look in the mirror. People I haven’t met in a while have to double-check whenever they see me.

I have so much more confidence today, and I enjoy shopping for clothes (instead of a suffocating feeling of dread).

And my husband and I have never been closer!

Best thing: My annual trip to the doctor confirmed what I suspected: My heart was healthier than ever. And my blood sugar levels, which had been steadily creeping upward, were at healthy levels.

What’s shocking to me is that I didn’t have to diet, starve, or even cut out my favorite foods.

In fact, I learned that this had nothing to do with why I was overweight in the first place and couldn’t even shred an inch.

It had nothing to do with how much rigorous exercising I did… or how much sugar I ate.

No wonder I struggled for years to get my weight under control! The fitness industry was feeding me this line to keep me struggling in an endless cycle.

But not anymore!!
