Testimony of the Day

“Before working with Maria, I had struggled most of my adult life with my weight. I had tried other plans, and they would work for a time and then once I went on my own, I fell back into the old patterns and the weight came back. In December 2012, I weighed 212lbs. I had been pushed into finding an alternative way to better eating because of some health related issues in my family. My dad is diabetic and has had a couple of heart attacks. He’s been told that there’s nothing that they can do to repair his arteries. Of course, this gets me paying attention as I don’t want to head down that same path.

Maria was non-judgemental during this process. She was always providing me excellent resources to allow me to take this journey on my own once I got properly set up. When I was struggling she had tips for me. The videos that she’s created or the ones that she recommends were always timely and helpful. I have lost 35 lbs since working with Maria – and just 7 away from my original goal. I’ve chosen to take the longer path to success because I want to make sure that this weight stays off – for good. Eating food that tastes amazing has been the key to my success in being able to do this on my own. I’m a fussy eater, but also one who’s grown up in a practical environment. The menus that Maria has created are based on food that I grew up on – not high end fancy dishes that I don’t know how to pronounce. I have to say that that has made a huge difference for me – eating foods that I would have ate – just differently so that they’re healthy for me and keep me satiated. Maria has given me the tools and resources to be able to modify my own recipes in a ‘healthified’ way. Since losing weight, I am now able to fit into cute show clothes again, and I’m sure that I’m also much lighter for my horse’s sake :-)” –Janice

Tropical Traditions

I often get asked “where did you get that big bag of coconut flour”. Tropical Traditions is one of the best quality sources of coconut oil and coconut flour I have found. There is also some variability in coconut flours as some brands don’t soak up as much moisture as others (some people had problems with my cinnamon rolls because of this). This is the brand I use so you won’t have any issues like that with any of my recipes if you use this brand. Also if you purchase from the links below and are a new customer I get a little gift certificate which helps me pay for ingredients for all my experimentation (it took me over 10 pounds of almond flour to get my sub bread right!).

They also have a deal going on where new customers will receive a free copy of their Virgin Coconut Oil book (a $25 value). Thanks for your support!
