There are many reasons why someone gains weight. Debbie, weight gain began after the birth of her second child. For others, it starts in youth, pregnancy, stresses in everyday life, medical conditions or prescription medications that can all affect our metabolism.
Her epiphany moment came when, in March 2009, she stepped on a scale and weighed more than 430 lbs. That number was a shock even to her, but it was at that moment she knew she needed to take action. "I was tired of being overweight. I could only stand for a few minutes and we had to work our life around my weight."
Debbie attended a free consultation at the Surrey SureSlim clinic to learn more about the program and how by eating the correct food, she could speed up her metabolism and start burning fat quickly and safely.
After signing up, Debbie went for comprehensive bloodwork; SureSlim is a medically based program that tests; Cholesterol, Glucose Fasting Levels as well as Kidney, Liver and Thyroid Functions. SureSlim then produced an 'individualized weight loss program' designed specifically for Debbie. Debbie then met with her Wellness Consultant to begin the SureSlim process. She was given a list of specific foods and portion sizes based on her unique metabolism. That, combined with one-on-one consultations provided the framework and support to begin the journey.
Within the first week she lost 12 lbs and the momentum continued. As of today, Debbie has lost over 250 lbs and continues to keep it off. Following Debbie's comprehensive blood work, her results uncovered an out of range thyroid condition,which she was not aware of. She did not want to take prescription medication for her thyroid condition and has managed to control it solely with her SureSlim eating plan.
When asked what had contributed to her success, Debbie is not shy to speak her mind. "There were times when I wondered how long I would last. On previous diets I would lose weight and then succumb to cravings. On SureSlim, my cravings have disappeared. I don't feel deprived. "I feel healthy, happy and energetic. My life has changed forever."
