Being cushioned with the popular myth that “a little extra fat is fine,” I packed on a full 30 pounds when I had my second child. My name is Monica Cardone and I am The Adrenal Body Type…and, I lost 31 pounds in three months using the Adrenal Maximizer kit.
I have pretty much been on a diet for 365 days out of the year, either struggling to just maintain my “ideal weight” or bouncing between 5 to 10 pounds (the typical yo-yo dieter). If you were to ask me six months ago, “Which diet has worked the best for you?”, I would have quipped, “just exercise more and eat less.” This was something I told a lot of people, but the actual truth was that I did not REALLY know the answer! Case in point: if I would have found the “magic diet” – something that not only worked, but consistently worked (you know, like for the rest of my life) – I wouldn’t have been willing to try yet another diet program (this time, the “body type diet”).
I have been familiar with the science of body types and weight loss for about ten years now, but never saw this as a potential solution for me because I didn’t consider that I was really that “overweight”. Plus, the science of body types is all about long-term programs and results, and to me that translated into “long term commitments.” The fact is, like most people, when I want to lose weight, I want to lose it now! Even if this means that I pay for it later.
Stepping on the scale after another crash diet episode, expecting to have lost at least ten of the 30+ pounds I packed on – and seeing that I had actually gained three pounds was my turning point. I decided to take the test and find my body type, because I realized my body was definitely “confused” – there was an imbalance, just as Dr. Berg has written about in his research as to why a person cannot lose weight despite exercise and eating less.
My results showed I was the Adrenal Body Type. This made perfect sense since I was seriously craving chocolate covered pretzels and living off of energy drinks for the past month. In fact, even more amazing was the fact that nearly ALL of the other characteristics described me to a tee (hopefully my husband never reads this .
I bought the Adrenal Maximizer kit for $149.95, which I found you can now try for free (you pay for the shipping and handling) for 14 days by going here ________. It is a two phase program designed for your body type: phase one is detox where you take your custom body type supplement with Dr. Berg’s detox formula and follow your body type’s custom eating plan; and phase two is the enhancement phase (fat burning) where you take the enhancement supplement with your body type formula and follow the fat burning eating and exercise plan. The program is designed to first, correct your body’s hormone imbalances, and then reestablish your health and ignite your body’s natural fat burning (think about it – if you crave unhealthy foods – something must be going on that is not correct, because nobody needs this type of “nutrition”, right? – in other words, let’s face it, your body is confused!). The kit comes with the book and weight loss tracking software, so it’s pretty much a do-it-yourself-doctor-formulated-weight loss all in a box.
I was expecting to lose weight slowly, which wasn’t ideal – but given that for the last three weeks I had been eating less and exercising and hadn’t lost an ounce…losing any weight at this point would be encouraging. The first three days were easy, but days 4 through 7 were absolutely miserable! I almost quit the program completely on the seventh day; I was exhausted, starving, cranky, and overall, not a happy camper. But getting dressed that morning changed everything…my pants were noticeably looser. I stepped on the scale and to my surprise I had lost a whopping eight pounds (in ONE WEEK)! That really got me motivated. I wrote down everything I ate (definitely recommended), and continued losing the weight until it leveled at about 2 lbs per week, just as Dr. Berg has said in his book.
Today I have more energy than I have had in years. I am not the perfect ten, but I am now committed to maintaining not just my weight but my overall health. The most interesting thing is that I realized my weight loss was really at the bottom of my true health concerns. Once I began the program, it became apparent how much my energy levels had decreased through the years. My skin tone improved and I feel like I look younger as well. Noticing these benefits has been a great motivation to take what I learned about my body type and keep the results. I am probably going to stay on phase two of the program forever! It costs about $49.95 per month, but from the research I have done, this is the best multi-vitamin you can take long term for your overall health; and the ONLY one made just for your body type.
Anyway, that’s my story. I hope this story motivates other women like me to try something long-term for a “short term weight loss goal”…you get so much more than weight loss – and who knows, you may be like me and lose weight a zillion times faster than Dr. Berg says!!
