Success Stories
Michelina kept trying to eat less and less, yet her weight kept climbing. Worst of all, her health was deteriorating and it was becoming more difficult to live the kind of active life she wanted to live.
Now, at 70 years old, Michelina has so much more energy these days and enjoys a more active life. Her digestion is happy, she’s off all pain meds, and her lab results are beautiful. She’s thrilled to be wearing beautiful, cute—sized clothes again and she loves the enthusiastic compliments from her husband.
Her approach to eating has transformed—from an approach of deprivation to an approach of joy and abundance. “I love eating this way, caring about all the cells of my body in a way I never have before.”
Lily – “It amazed me that I’m not hungry losing this weight – I love eating this way!
I got my first hot flash at 47 and, one month later, I was 13 pounds heavier. All the things I knew to do to lose weight weren’t working any more. In fact, I was just getting heavier every time I tried.
But as soon as I started the Slender for Good approach, I immediately started losing weight. And it just keeps working, like a miracle.“
Elaine – My “sensible, healthy eating approach” wasn’t as sensible or as healthy as I thought. I was overweight and putting off a lot of life activities, saying I would do that when I lose a few pounds.
Ginny gave me a very clear, specific, and sensible approach that made a huge difference. I now know how to eat for a healthy, long life and have confidence I’ll be able to continue doing what I want as long as I want.
Coleen’s weight was up and down her whole life, as she alternated between over-indulging and then restricting to compensate. She was highly attached with certain craveable foods and drinks, feeling it would be sad to “give them up” but, at the same time, she recognized it was a stressful way to live. Looking back, she says holding onto those “treats” left her a “distraught, joyless mess, unable to cope with life’s many challenges.”
Coleen was thrilled to discover she can thoroughly enjoy foods that nourish her body, with the Crave the Good © system. She got to a weight she never even dreamed of and feels “free, slim, fantastic” eating the Slender Way. Her mood has transformed and she has a new confidence about living a healthy, self-determined, hope-filled future.
Krista was a successful do-it-yourself dieter and exerciser who read 400 diet books.
But in her 40s, it became clear that things were going the wrong direction. She was intrigued with the Slender for Good approach, grounded in eating abundant highly nutritious foods; she recognized it as completely different– and sensible. If it worked, it would give her better health and longevity, and set her up as a better role model for her children.
And it worked! Krista is so thrilled to be at a healthy, slender size she hasn’t seen since 7th grade. Exercise is more fun because she’s light on her feet. She’s left dieting behind forever and loves her body. The best part for her is that eating this way frees up tons of emotional energy for everything else in life.
Barb left snacking behind, lost weight and gained energy, and stopped hiding her body! She was surprised that it was all happening without feeling hungry between meals. “My brain is quicker! I really feel my brain is more sharp.”
I’ve had a total shift of mindset. It’s not just about what will please my palate. It’s about feeding my soul, and giving my body what it needs, feeding my life, not just my mouth.
I’ve spent almost my whole adult life hiding my fat. Now, packing for a trip or getting ready to go somewhere is all so much easier because my clothes all fit comfortably. Slender for Good is set up as it is because it works.
Kristen– I dragged my feet for over a year, feeling I was too busy as a professional and a Mom. But I wasn’t feeling like myself and I was really frustrated with the weight gain. I went on hormone therapy, but it didn’t help me lose weight.
When I finally decided to really do it, the weight just started falling off. It became really easy. I’m really happy with my weight, and I never feel hungry. I’ve been surprised how many other things changed– my energy, my sleep, my cholesterol dropped 40 points. I feel in charge of my own health and I’m getting along better with my family because my mood improved from eating this way.
I feel so proud of myself and so much more confident I’ll be hiking with my grandkids in my 80s. I would tell everyone don’t put it off! It’s easier and more rewarding than you imagine.
I’ve lost over 50 pounds so far and am so glad to have found this eating approach and this program. I thought I knew exactly how to lose weight, but I never had an effective weight loss approach like this that doesn’t involve feeling hungry or deprived. The 4 fundamental principles really work for my logical brain and I really appreciate Dr. Ginny’s coaching and how she has put together this program and community.
With such a super-busy schedule right now, I’m SO grateful for the energy Slender Way Eating gives me. I only started learning this 4 weeks ago and haven’t even got all the pieces in place yet, but my energy has transformed – from a 4 out of 10 to a 7 out of 10. It’s really helping me out, and I imagine it will keep improving. Pain and inflammation are diminishing and I’ve lost 8 pounds already. I really enjoy eating this way and feel so grateful for it– it’s an answer to my prayers! So far, eating healthfully takes a bit more time, but it makes me feel happy and proud more than anything.
I have only been in the Slender for Good program for 14 weeks, but it is changing my whole life. Yes, I am really appreciating 15 pounds gone so far, getting into cuter clothes, and making my doctor really happy. I’m feeling physically so much better, going off medications, reversing high cholesterol, and experiencing other notable changes in my body like no more acid reflux. But, at 70 years old, as I take this strong stand for my health, I am especially appreciating that I find myself moving toward life goals I had put aside for some time. I never could have imagined the kind of excitement, energy, and confidence I have about moving forward in my life.
I’ve dropped from a size 12 to a size 6—dropping the first size during the Intensive Program. What I love most is how eating this way helps me feel calm and peaceful.
I’m eating this way for life—my body likes it. My doctor is thrilled with my lab results. Meals are easy and snacky things don’t call to me any more. Eating this way makes me so calm and happy.
I am in awe at how much I have benefited from the Slender for Good program. My body absolutely lets me know this way of eating is good. And it’s so much more doable and enjoyable than I imagined.
This program has been transformative for me in so many ways. I’ve lost 45 pounds, have less inflammation, my sleep is much better (from a 3 to a solid 9 out of 10), and I am happy it means I can decrease my blood pressure medications.
I’ve dropped 6 pounds so far, doing most of the fundamentals of this plan. Most important, I’ve been exploring more kinds of nutritious foods, and I’m surprised how much I am enjoying the way I get to eat.
Since completing the Slender for Good Intensive program, I have lost 22 pounds and look much healthier! Just went to the doctor for my annual wellness visit — labs look really good and my doc was very pleased and happy for me. Thank you so much for the Slender for Good program!
Although I was only targeting 2.5kg, I’ve actually ended up losing 5kg and feel much more energetic now. A couple of the principles were counter intuitive for me initially and I initially was afraid of feeling hungry if I changed my routine. But I did switch over on both and now feel much better – and no longer hungry – as well as seeing the weight loss. Ginny has been very available for me – very quickly responsive to email queries and also to offer 1-1 calls. The changes I’ve made as a result of Slender for Good are permanent and I really enjoy the way I’m eating now.
