She’s LOST 1000 lbs….
This post is not in search of praise, but rather to share a method which was successful for me in weight loss and appetite control…the behavioral change component not the physical has been most important to me….

This program and Dr. Eric Becking ROCK!
It’s been my salvation!
I am 75 and have ALWAYS FOUGHT losing/gaining weight… am I an addict? I don’t know the answer to that because the word addiction can carry a very strong connotation.
Perhaps we can all buy into it at different levels of what that means. But I do know that food and choices of food and quantities of food and how my clothes fit or don’t fit and attending social events, living in my heavier persona, has consumed so much of my daily thoughts and moods.
I love food. I don’t love going to the doctor getting weighed in and seeing in my chart the word obese or obesity. It haunts me.
I don’t think, other than surgery, there’s a diet I have not tried in my lifetime. I am sure I’ve lost/gained 1000 pounds.
In my heavier periods, inwardly I am miserable. Oh I don’t show that (at least I don’t think so) masking it outwardly by smiles, laughter and joking. God forbid that I show struggle…
The difficult side of food addiction is that
We need to eat to live, to survive …we can not get away from that fact.
So how do we learn or relearn to have a healthy relationship with food?
I don’t necessarily mean eating organic foods or taking nutritional supplements or becoming a vegetarian or not becoming a vegetarian or becoming some food guru. I don’t mean those choices.
But how do we come to each opportunity to consume food in a cleaner way?
At this point in my life, Dr. Becking and Chirothin were the answer!!
It gave me a chance for new beginnings! The dietary protocol in this program was what I needed.
I needed to step away from my food routine and food choices in order to come back to them with a new perspective!
I began the 6 week program in May (I thought just 42 days of my life compared to being on “diets” for months or years) completely compliant, save the full consumption of water intake…there were days I came up with less than suggested….Still in 6 weeks I lost 23 pounds…but more importantly, GAINED an incredible confidence in myself and the role food plays in my daily life.
I am finding the “maintenance” phase rewarding…I am maintaining but in comfortable control of my eating…
***there is an update at the end of this post***…
With the changes over the 6 weeks/42 days, I have been given a very strong foundation and new perspective on food in my daily life!!!
This program helps you step away from all of your other eating habits, not just what you eat but when you eat and how much you eat.
When I was able to do that for a period of time, dietary intake looks different!
If anything I’ve written sounds a little bit like what you’re going through, try Chirothin with Dr. Becking…. You will not be alone.
The “Doc” will be with you every step of the way.
It has been my salvation!!!
UPDATE: In the last 2 months I have lost an additional 15 pounds, (the lowest weight I have been in 35 years) not dieting …just making reasonable choices…I follow what I call the 80/20 rule…80% of the time I eat healthily (not crazy healthily) and 20% of the time I go for my favs…a little wine, ice cream and any carb that calls me…simply said 8 out of 10 days I am mindful of my intake and 2 days out of ten I go for my favorites…
And in all of this time since my initial 42 days, traveling to family out of state for a month, then on a cruise for 5 days and finally 4 days celebrating my 75th birthday at Disney, where buffets and birthday cakes, cookies and hot chocolate are in no shortage, I have been able to lose the additional weight and maintain…
Again, this is just me sharing my experience with this particular program not for praise, but perhaps it’s an option for you…
Game changer and I’ve tried em all.
