Will I lose weight with your meals?
Results vary from individual to individual. In our experience, customers who participate in our Commitment Plan program and follow our tips and recommendations CONSISTENTLY have the most success in reaching their health and weight loss goals.
Why don’t you use wheat/gluten?
Wheat itself has changed dramatically over the past few decades. Today’s wheat contains more gluten and fewer vitamins and minerals than the grains our ancestors ate.
Gluten causes inflammation throughout the body, abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, headaches, tiredness, skin problems, joint and muscle pain, brain fog, anxiety, depression, etc.
Gluten also damages your intestines, resulting in improper absorption of nutrients from the food which can lead to other serious problems.
Why don’t you use corn?
Corn has no real health benefits and causes inflammation.
Why don’t you use soy?
Soy sets off inflammation because it messes with your hormones and your thyroid.
