Leaner, Healthier, and Stronger at 50

Leaner, Healthier, and Stronger at 50

I started this year’s Fit House nutrition program to jump start my efforts to look and feel as best I could for my 50th birthday in March. I found the program to be one of the easiest to follow, as it allowed me to eat 5 times a day with snacks. I was not hungry, and I loved the fact that I could still have my dairy, even cheese sticks! I lost 6 pounds in the first week! I really enjoyed combining ingredients from the plan to make great new meals, as I get bored quickly with the same foods. I discovered there really are lots of healthy low-carb options out there.

What I like the most about this plan is that it is not a fad diet. It is a way to learn healthy eating that becomes a lifestyle. I understand more now about how my body processes foods and how to maintain my new healthy eating habits. In the beginning, I journaled my food and had weekly check-ins with Gina so we could discuss my choices and progress. This helped to keep me accountable. I am amazed at how many inches I have lost from everywhere and the happiness I feel getting many comments about how good I am looking. I would highly recommend this nutrition plan to anyone looking for a change. I had never joined a gym before in my life and was scared to leave my comfort zone, but I knew I needed a change. With getting older, I knew things were just going to get worse, as my blood sugar levels were rising to almost diabetic levels. The nutrition program, combined with 3 days of strength training, solved that within a month. My levels are normal and have stayed normal. I am now 40 pounds leaner, healthier, and stronger than I have ever been at age 50! It is possible! I am so glad Fit House came into my life.
