I have really enjoyed Nature's Sunshine Products Breakthrough Weight-Loss Challenge and hope that Nature's Sunshine will make this an ongoing program. The products that I chose to use were the Collatrim Products. I believe these are our very best weight loss products.
I began struggling with my weight about 15 years ago. It seems no matter what I did I seemed to be putting on 5-10 lbs each year. When I had my last child 8 years ago I had reached 245 with the pregnancy. Within a few months after giving birth I began to realize my new "set weight" of 215 lbs. I have been at that weight ever since, no matter what I seemed to do. However, I refused to accept that and began to make some major changes in my diet and my lifestyle. When I began teaching health and nutrition classes about 5 years ago I started to implement the same principals into my lifestyle and diet. I began to focus on increasing Fresh fruits, raw vegetables and increased my fiber and water in my everyday diet. I basically eliminating processed and refined foods such as refined sugars and flours, and hydrogenated oils. These steps began the process of detoxifying my body and I started to experience better health. The more I learned and the more I taught these concepts, the better I began to feel, however the weight was very slow to come off. About a year ago I joined a gym and began to implement regular exercise into my life a few times a week. After a year of fairly consistent visits to the gym I had taken off another 15 lbs and began to enjoy more energy, however I reached another plateau and my weight seemed to be stuck at 200 lbs.
In March of this year I read about the new Breakthrough Weight Loss Program that NSP was offering. I immediately jumped on the opportunity and order the new Collatrim Plus Powder. This seems to be exactly what I was missing in my diet. I began to notice a difference within just a few days of starting this product, and within 3 months I had lost an additional 15 lbs. It seemed the weight just began to melt off of me. Since it requires you take it at night on an empty stomach it really helped me stop the after dinner snacking (a bad habit I had a hard time dropping before this). The most profound difference is that the high protein ingredients in the Collatrim stabilized my blood sugar and I believe this was the key to those extra pounds I was holding on to.
Eating right is a challenge because most of us have been brought up with the adulterated manufactured food industries surrounding us. It took time, patience's and lots of willpower to turn my health issues around but I felt very fortunate to have NSP by my side to help me learn where to start. Attending the NSP educational classes that are offered in my area, and taking part in the teleconference calls and the wonderful NSP support groups were a major influence on how I was re-learning to eat, and getting rid of all the bad eating habits that I had come to know as "normal". The Collatrim Plus Powder and the Collatrim Capsules were an enormous step to my weight loss and are products which I plan to keep in my daily ritual.
In addition, I have put my mom on the Collatrim products because she has diabetes II and struggles with keeping her blood sugar where it should be. She has been taking 4 capsules with her breakfast and 4-5 capsules before bed. The Collatrim has been a key to keeping her blood sugar numbers stable. I think it is an awesome product and recommend it to everyone who struggles with weight loss and especially those who are diabetic.
