“I have more energy.”

I carry 7 kg less around. I would need to measure, but my Levi's

jeans trousers that I could not get over my butt and were stuck
on my legs, now fit. I have more energy. My hair and nails are
stronger (I actually lose less hair).

Also, I heal better. Little cuts from working in the garden were
always annoying because they hurt and I needed to use
disinfectant to heal. This is not the case anymore (that's a real big
one for me!). I still plan on shedding another 4 kg and getting in
even better shape.

~Liane Hack

“This knowledge will stay with me for a lifetime and make me a

whole lot healthier.”

Knowledge you gain from Eric and the effectiveness of the program
make this program a one of a kind. Bringing consciousness to the
emotional connection to your eating patterns is worth the cost of
the program alone.

This knowledge will stay with me for a lifetime and make me a

whole lot healthier.

~Ranil Piyaratna

“In 90 days I released 46 lbs, 89 inches, and 4 dress sizes!”

Over the course of the next 20+ years I completed every diet, pill,
product, program, that you could imagine, and each time thought I
was doing the right thing, or what was 'healthy' for my body ... until
I learned the truth from this program. […]

In 90 days I released 46 lbs, 89 inches, and 4 dress sizes! The

groups, the coaching, the camaraderie, the support, all were
bonuses in helping us to reach success.

“I just wanted a flat stomach – that was all and what I got was
so much more!””

[…] I did lose 15,6 kg: down from 96,6 kg to 81,1 kg. I am on a
track to lose a couple more kg in fat to gain a waschbrett
stomach, which I have not had for 20 years. It was a shift in
mindset, self assertiveness and most of all control regarding
food. Ultimately, it was a lifestyle change which I did not expect
to happen. I just wanted a flat stomach – that was all and what I
got was so much more!

~Thomas Kessler

“ I'm wearing clothes I haven't fit into for over three years.”
It actually works! The general principles are easy enough – eat
whole foods, mostly plants. And it helps to consider that those
food choices are actually what works best for our bodies based
on where we are from an evolutionary perspective. Logic is
always good. The differentiator, though, is the support for paying
attention to your inner voices around food behaviour, and then
providing strategies for changing those behaviours. Nutrition
meets behavioural psychology meets neuro-evolutionary biology.
A powerful and effective combination.

I have lost 15 pounds and still losing. And about 16 inches overall. And - even BETTER - I'm
wearing clothes I haven't fit into for over three years.

~Karen Wright, Executive Coach

“A lot of my beliefs around food and the way we approach it,

was shattered by Eric.”

I was a very healthy eater ( at least I thought so). […] But more
importantly deep down I felt something was not right with what
we all are consuming today. Also, I had the notion that l could eat
a bit of junk once in a while as long as I worked out afterwards.
And so a lot of my beliefs around food and the way we approach
it , was shattered by Eric.

“My arthritis is gone and I can do all sorts of exercise.”

I have had wonderful results. My arthritis is gone and I can do all sorts of exercise now. I am
walking everyday, going to strength classes a couple times a week and have started hot yoga
again! I suffered from insomnia for almost 20 years and now I get close to 7 hours of sleep
every night even if I wake for 1/2 hour. I wake refreshed and ready to take on the day! I have
released 14 lbs and my shape has changed and I feel so much happier about my body! […]

~Cindy Sahlstrom

“I've released 20 lbs in the past 3 weeks.”

I cannot say enough about this program. I've been struggling with weight gain for 8 years,
since weaning myself off 10 high dose medications. I've done so many diets and programs,
taken supplements, done detoxes and cleanses all with varied results. Nothing has come
close to this. I've released 20 lbs in the past 3 weeks, have absolutely no cravings. Take this
program, it is the most comprehensive way of getting rid of unhealthy eating habits. Period.

~ Dawn Carson

“This program has changed our lives!”

I’ve released a few pounds, lots of inches on my legs, (which kind of surprised me) and I
sleep better. My hair is growing nicely, I received a bad haircut at the beginning of the
challenge. I’m happy to report that my hair is now longer! There are huge changes with my
husband! He was considered ‘obese’ and he had sleep apnea. He was out of breath just
walking up the stairs at the age of 33. I believe at this point he has released over 50lbs, has
lots of energy, no more knee and back pain. And most importantly to me, he breathes
quietly while sleeping! […]

~ Lindsey Marie

“This is the kind of program that needs to be taught in

schools.”

I lost 30 lbs! My allergies and sinus issues went away, my blood pressure improved and, being
a diabetic, my blood insulin levels dropped. This is the kind of program that needs to be
taught in schools to get people eating right from the get go.

~Chuck Fletcher
