30 pounds? Is it really possible?

You know when you receive that picture on facebook, or in the mail from a party that you have been to and you cringe when you see yourself? Well, that is exactly what happened to me. I took one look at the photo and said, Oh my Gosh, I look awful! Even though I am standing sandwiched in between my dear Auntie M and cousin, all three of us, smiling and having a great time. The self realization was staring me in the face. I had to loose weight, because, frankly I weighed as much as i did when I gave birth to my second child. Since I'm only 4'11" there isn't much space to put the extra pounds, except everywhere! Round faced, round belly, and no waist. A busty apple. Great. A family history of diabetes to boot! I HAD to DO something about it! I tried exercising, cutting out carbs, and was eating healthy. I had already identified that I was wheat and gluten intolerant, so I was avoiding most carbs. A well respected doctor friend of mine was about to try a homeopathic Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) tincture and suggested that I do it with her. The directions were very simple but somewhat ambiguous, but we are smart women, so "we can figure it out!" Day 1 and 2, eat anything you want, but foods higher in fats are encouraged. COOL! Day 3-21 or longer (? really?, how much longer?) Protein, Veggies and Fruit. Okay, do-able. Then 2 days, no drops, but same foods. Stabilization phase~eat fats again for 2 or 3 weeks. Seems simple enough. hCG will allow stored fats to be burned as calories, and we eat 500 calories. I was a bit skeptical but nothing else I know how to do was working. All I could say was AMAZING! I released 7 pounds in the first week! BUT what was up with the craving of m & m's? Nothing in my little pamphlet said anything about cravings, or what to do about them. Since I know some stress techniques, I added them in to help myself get to the root cause of my potential self sabotage thoughts and sugary cravings. Already taking something for yeast, I knew it was emotionally related. I sensed that I was not tolerating something I was eating, since I had gained a pound or 2 while in week2. Turns out that it was chicken and tuna, identified using muscle testing. Correction for gaining pounds back? No breakfast, No lunch and a whole steak for dinner! YES! Then, much to my surprise the next morning those 2 pounds had vanished overnight, like magic! Every time I walked past a mirror I could see myself getting smaller, and more defined. Then the ultimate happened~ my pants literally fell off! I had to find a belt and wear higher healed shoes, so my pants wouldn't drag on the ground. At lunch I went to a local consignment shop and bought 2 pair of pants that fit, for the moment. I weighed myself every morning and watched as the pounds and inches melted away. I like to say released, rather than lost, because quite honestly, I don't want them back. EVER. I released 13 pounds in the first 23 days. I quickly decided to develop the comprehensive program including the emotional stress release techniques and muscle testing foods to figure out which ones potentially stressed the body and may contribute to inflammation or weight gain. A colleague of mine encouraged me to spread the word and my own weight release was becoming apparent. All total I have released 30 pounds. I was not hungry, nor did I have any side effects from the homeopathic drops. I have kept the weight off with easy management. As word of mouth has spread, and with the statistics I have been keeping, 19.6 pounds is the average weight released. The lab that I order the hCG is now encouraging the use of my comprehensive program. Please visit MattesonCommunications.com for contact or order information.
