I just want to say THANK YOU for finally getting me to a point where I am truly loving my body and the way I look and feel!

My whole life I have struggled with body image and my relationship with food.  In college I studied Kinesiology so I had a good understanding of exercise and even became a personal trainer.  Despite this knowledge I was never able to feel good about how I looked.  I just turned 30 this year and felt like I had hit a plateau with my fitness routine.  I was ready to totally redefine what I was doing thinking that the way to achieve the results that I was looking for was to change my workouts.

To add to the feeling of frustration with a lack of results I found out I needed to have arthroscopic knee surgery to resolve the constant pain I was having in my right knee.  It was about a month before my surgery when I heard about Sirena’s program.  I was skeptical but wanted to hear more.  When she told me that it was a gluten and dairy free diet I definitely didn’t think I would be able to do it let alone convince my chef husband to get on board.

Nonetheless I decided to commit to it because I needed a change.  I started my 8 week journey the same week I had my knee surgery.  In just the first week I had lost 5 pounds despite spending the whole week on the couch recovering.  I was shocked and motivated beyond belief.  I can’t say that is wasn’t challenging, mentally, emotionally and physically to stick to this new way of eating but it was worth it.

Over the course of the 8 weeks I saw more changes in my body and how I felt in my own skin than I had in the last 15 years of trying different workouts and diets!  Now 4 months into this new lifestyle I have redefined my relationship with food, I feel better about myself and am finally feeling more positive about my self image.

I would not have been able to get here if it weren’t for Sirena’s program, constant support and guidance.  This is more than a diet, it is a guide to finding YOU and your personal relationship with food and it is a lifelong journey.
