Hi Everybody
I am so impressed with the spirit, the science , the thoroughness and the, practicality of Enlita. I am a bit of a strange struggler with my own excess weight. I am 5'9" and I weigh about 195 pounds. I have been a fan of Weston Price's approach to nutrition for the past 40 years (I am now 66) and have eaten organic foods, not convenience foods for all of that time but my weight has continued to mount. It is as though I am continually hungry for something but can't find what. I an trained in EFT and some of the other energy medicine techniques and have used this for weight control yet without success. I have tried hypnosis without success several times. I am marginally hypo thyroid however Armor Thyroid has never made any difference. I have worked in health and written books about nutrition and done TV documentaries in which we have transformed people's lives in medically measusrable ways using the Price/Pottenger approach to good nutrition plus a little resistance training and daily walks of 30 minutes. I am trained in Chinese medicine and many other natural approaches to health and healing. My own medical parameters are excellent. Yet I cannot seem to find my own way and I am hoping that you will be able to help me.
What has attractled me to the program is the soundness and integrated nature of it. It is absolutely in keeping with my own knowleldgle and way of living. Yet I am the odd one out in that I cannot help myself. I have not yet met anyone like me and would love to know if anyone else has the experience that I have. Mor important I would dearly love to have whatever help I need to be able to overcome this situation which I have lived with for so long and which has only become progressively worse.

COACHING PROGRAM WHEN?

Hi Winnie
When will the coaching program begin? I am stuck with my weight loss. It just is not happening and definitely need help. It goes down 3 or 4 pounds then up three or four pounds. I am allergic to dairy products but have cut them out. I need some help here.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT IS HAPPENING

I am so pleased to see weight coming off of me with literally no effort except what it takes to organize the buying of food. I think the food allergy issue is mostly what has been plaguing me all these years. I don't eat wheat and most grains but in the last week I have stopped eating yogurt and cheese. I no longer have the incessant hunger that nothing can satisfy which I have had most of my life. It is such a blessing not to feel addicted to food and continue to chastise myself for my lalck of will power and being against myself. I feel so good about this way of eating and am so grateful to you all at Enlita for putting together such a wonderful health-enhancing package. Let's hope it continues to work for me. Thank you ALL!

EXERCISE PROGRAM

Hi Winnie
I cycle on a wind trainer and row on a Concept II rowing machine 5 - sometimes 7 days a week. I go to the gym and work with weights 2 to 3 times a week. I sometimes do Qigong.

FOOD ALLERGIES

Dear Winnie
I had come to the same comclusion - that it is likely to be food allergies that makes me gain weight and always hungry. I have therefore not eaten wheat or corn or the other gluten based grains for a very long time. Now I suspect cheese and yoghurt so I have stopped eating them. When will this one to one consultation which you mention be available?

Eating Well But Can't Lose Weight

Hello,
Have you embarked on the allergy elimination phase of the program? From everything you say in your post, I wonder if food sensitivities may be playing a part in your struggles, because it sounds like you are so conscientious and eat well.
So do try the elimination diet, and see if avoiding the common food allergens makes a difference. Also, try limiting all grains, as this does help many individuals.
Lastly, look for the launch of our upcoming coaching program where we will be offering phone appointment sessions to address the individual needs of our clients.
I sincerely hope you find the weight loss success you deserve on this program.
Dr. Winnie Abramson
