Dear Brenda,

I have probably lost an entire person from dieting throughout my lifetime. I work in a bank that has a lot of good cooks and lunch time is always the highlight of the day. We’d order something to be delivered that was big and yummy. And of course I was raised by my parents to eat everything on my plate, so I did.

I turned 55 in January 2007, and felt horrible. I was overweight, nothing fit and my blood pressure was out of sight. My doctor wanted to put me on blood pressure medicine. I decided that I was too young to begin taking drugs that would be needed for the rest of my life, so I opted to change my eating habits and join the local gym.

My trainer at the gym asked my about my eating habits and told me I needed to add more fiber to my diet. She gave me a shopping list and I was on my way. It was about a month into my new routine that I heard about the Fiber 35 Diet. What an amazing book. It took what my trainer told me and explained why I needed to add fiber. It was like a light bulb went on in my head, and the book made it all so easy.

I am now 7 months into the program and have lost 40 pounds. The foods that I was addicted to before – bread, pasta, rice, white flour and sugar – are no longer attractive to me. The recipes Brenda shares are so easy to make, with ingredients that are easy to find. And using the sample menus to start, you learn how to eat healthy in the real world. My whole life has changed because of the Fiber 35 Diet.

I hesitate to call The Fiber 35 Diet a diet, however. I have been on so many “diets” that only last a short while and I'd be like a yo-yo. This is a life style that makes sense.

Dear Brenda,

Growing up, I was always overweight. Obesity runs in my family, so at times I felt like I was fighting a losing battle. Yo-yo dieting became a way of life, and even when I would lose a few pounds here or there, I would always gain the weight back (and usually more). The heavier I became, the less active I was, and the more my self-esteem began to suffer. It was a viscous cycle that I thought would never end – until I discovered the Fiber35 Diet.

I began the diet last year after I stepped on the scale and saw that I weighed 216 pounds. It was the heaviest I’d ever been, and I felt every pound of it. Right then and there I knew I needed to make a change, and because my mom, my cousin and my aunt had all found success with the Fiber35 Diet, I read the book and decided to give it a shot. Now it’s eight months later and I’ve already lost 53 pounds! Plus, I finally have the energy to do the things I want to do, and not only do I look great, but I feel amazing.

The best part about the Fiber35 Diet is that it really works, and the personalized plan has made it easy for me to lose weight and keep it off. I’m not hungry all the time because I get to eat every few hours, and the food is delicious and keeps me satisfied all day long. Even when I don’t have time to prepare something, the FitSmart shakes and bars have 10 grams of fiber and protein in every serving, which makes them super convenient for my busy work schedule. Thank you Fiber35!

Dear Brenda,

For anyone who has had a child, you know how much harder it is to lose weight afterward. It seems like no matter how much you cut back on food or how often you exercise, the pounds just don’t want to come off. After struggling with my weight for over a year after my son was born, someone told me about the Fiber35 Diet. I read the book, and since nothing I was doing was working and it seemed like a sensible weight loss plan, I decided to try it.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle has always been important to me, especially since I enjoy preparing meals for my family, and that’s why the Fiber35 Diet was a perfect fit right from the start. Not only could I still enjoy the foods I loved, but I was able to get the vitamins and nutrients my body needed to keep up with my busy lifestyle. On top of that, the shakes and bars are the perfect energy boost, and they helped me feel full all day long.

In the past, every other diet or weight loss plan I’ve tried has left me hungry and dissatisfied, but I’m happy to say that the Fiber35 Diet is different. Because I am eating filling, high-fiber foods every 2 to 3 hours, I’m not hungry all the time. My stomach isn’t constantly growling, and I don’t get ravenous and binge on the wrong foods. That’s how I’ve been able to steadily drop 47 pounds over the last 6 months and learn a new, healthy way of eating that’s been easy to incorporate into my daily schedule. Even my husband has lost over 30 pounds just by following the same simple plan! I recommend the Fiber35 Diet to anyone who is trying to lose weight or just eat healthier.

Thank you Fiber35!

No matter who you are...

...there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing real, physical results when you’ve worked so hard to lose weight and get fit. That’s exactly what I see now when I compare how I look today to photographs of me that were taken before I started the Fiber35 Diet. We’ve all heard how it takes sacrifice, determination and hard work to achieve your fitness goals, and it’s all true. But even hard work needs a companion, and that’s where my beloved Fiber35 made all the difference!

In April 2007 I took pictures of myself to see where I was with my fitness goals, and immediately I knew that the pudgy, round-faced person staring back at me was not who I wanted to be. The worst part was that for the past 5 years I had been working in nutrition stores giving weight loss advice to people! And even though I had been an avid weightlifter for years, I wasn’t getting the results I wanted. Instead, I was living proof that weightlifting alone wasn’t the answer.

Around the time I decided I needed to change my lifestyle, a representative from the Fiber35 Diet came into the store where I was working. I tried a sample of the FitSmart shakes and bars, and they tasted so good I thought I would give it a shot. I’ve seen customers go on those low-carb diets, lose weight, and then gain it all back again, and I didn’t want the same thing to happen to me. That’s why the Fiber35 Diet is so great—I could still eat all of my favorite foods without feeling like I was depriving myself. Plus, the fiber and protein meal plan helped me keep precious muscle and get rid of unwanted body fat, and I learned that fiber even helps get rid of toxins that can build up in fat cells.

I followed Brenda Watson’s advice and began eating small meals every few hours during the day. The fiber and protein in the bars and shakes kept me full and energized, and I used the ThermoFit and CLA Fit Plus support formulas to help burn fat and boost my metabolism. I also maintained a regular cardio and exercise program.

In six months I went from 225 pounds to 212 pounds and decreased my body fat from nearly 16% to 12%. I couldn’t believe the results! Now it’s one year later and I weigh 198 pounds and have 8% body fat! My waist size dropped from a 36 to a 31, and my body is definitely more defined overall. It wasn’t until I took more photographs of myself recently that I saw how the sacrifice truly paid off. My personal results have even made the Fiber35 Diet one of the best-selling products in the store! In my opinion, this is a can’t-miss program that works for everyone.

Thanks Brenda Watson and Fiber35!

Dear Brenda,

After the birth of my two children, I became another yo-yo dieter. You name the diet; I tried it and gave up when I decided to start “eating” again. Little did I know that the more you play with yo-yos, the heavier and more despondent you become.

Fast forward 35 years...

When a wonderful, kind and caring person gave me a copy of The Fiber35 Diet, I was instantly ready to try something new that focused on ME for a change. The shakes and bars were just the thing for a busy person to kick-start a whole new outlook on life. Following the recipes in the book was easy and didn’t involve a lot of preparation. Of course, the fact that the food tasted good didn’t hurt either! From then on it only kept getting better. Flavors were magnified, my sense of taste and smell perceptibly sharpened, and best of all I wasn’t hungry all the time. Now if I crave a "useless-calorie" food now and then, I eat it with no remorse. Hopping back onto the steel-cut oats the next morning is no chore but a return to a healthy lifestyle that feeds your mind, body, and (best of all) your uplifted spirit.

I'm happy to say I've been on The Fiber35 Diet for more than four months and I have lost 35 pounds so far. I’ve dropped four pants sizes in the process, and even my shoe size has decreased! Now it's a lot more fun to shop in the “Misses” department rather than settling for the limited "Plus Size” selections. On the Fiber35 Diet I feel energetic, my sleep apnea has abated, and I've found the perfect way to disguise the lines around my mouth ... I'm usually smiling!

Dear Brenda,

Prior to starting the Fiber35 Diet program, I simply did not feel healthy. I knew I was overweight, but I also had very little energy, and my cravings tended to rule what I ate. I had begun a workout program about 3 to 4 months before I started the Fiber35 Diet plan and saw no results.

No matter what I tried, nothing seemed to work.

In the past I had tried other popular weight loss plans, including Weight Watchers. But even though it seemed to work for my sister, it didn’t work with my busy schedule. I just didn’t have the time to stop and look up everything I put in my mouth to see whether I could eat it or not. Essentially, I was searching for a diet that I could stick with but that didn’t really feel like a diet. I needed a program that would allow me to feel like I was eating normally—something I didn’t have to think about every minute.

The Fiber35 Diet is perfect for my on-the-go lifestyle. Now if I’m running late, I can quickly make a shake or grab a fiber bar and I’m out the door. Both taste great and I know that they are healthy and high in fiber. Plus, the bars and shakes are filling, so I don’t start craving anything by mid-morning. Another great perk is that because I have increased the amount of fiber I eat each day, I don’t get the cravings for sweet foods that I did before I started the program. Plus, I’m eating much healthier throughout the day.

Of course, the biggest change I noticed since I began the Fiber35 Diet is the weight I have lost. I was working out constantly with no results until I started the program, and it was only then that I saw a big drop in my weight. I believe it helps my body digest my food better, too, and boosts my energy level so that I can work out at a more intense pace. I can honestly say that I don’t believe I would have lost any of the weight I have lost without the Fiber 35 Diet program.
