Diet, everyone’s least favorite four-letter word! Why is that? If I had to guess, I’d say it’s because when we hear the word, “diet,” our thoughts immediately turn to feeling hungry and what we won’t be able to eat. At least, those are the two things I think of as soon as I hear the word diet or start to think about dieting.  Oh, and exercise, I loathe exercise!

As a teenager and young adult, I never once had to worry about what I ate. I was the skinny girl in high school and college and had to work to gain weight. Then after I got married and had my first baby, I started struggling with my weight. It seemed the pounds just kept packing on and I was constantly trying different diets and exercise programs. Some seemed to work (for a bit), but on these diets, I constantly felt hungry and limited in what I could eat. I’d stay on the diet for a few weeks, and the hunger got to me and I’d end up not only gaining back the weight I’d lost, but even more.

This year (as my New Year’s Resolution), I made a goal to get back down to the weight which is listed on my Driver’s License. Don’t judge, we all fib a little on that one. The only problem was, I had no idea how I was going to get there. Then about a month ago, I was contacted by a local company to see if I’d be interested in working with them.  That was the quickest, “YES!” I’ve ever said.

I began working with MD Diet (located in Salt Lake City, Utah) two weeks ago and have been blown away with how well I’m loving this program. I have not once been hungry, I’m losing weight, and I’m not missing those sugary snacks that I was eating on a daily basis. It sounds too good to be true, but trust me, it’s not!

So, what exactly is MD Diet? The answer is simple, it’s a high protein, low carb diet that is customized for you. Unlike other diets, at MD Diet, they use a combination of education, prescription medications, and lifestyle modifications to help improve your health, all while safely losing weight. While on the program, you are under the guidance of nutritionists, a nurse practitioner, and experienced staff.  This is what I love! You aren’t left to fend for yourself in the battle of losing weight. Everyone has been so helpful and supportive so far in my weight loss journey.

This is 5 pounds of fat.  Two weeks in, and I’ve lost a little more than 1 of these.

I mentioned above that I’ve been doing this diet for two weeks.  In those two weeks, I’ve lost 6.5 pounds, all without being hungry. For once, losing weight doesn’t seem like a chore to me. If you’ve been thinking about going on a diet, to shed those unwanted pounds, I suggest giving MD Diet a try.

After weigh in today. I lost another 2.4 pounds, for a total of 6.5 pounds lost.
