Down 82 pounds in four months!
I had tried a lot of diets over the years and a friend of mine at work was losing a lot of weight. I asked him and he said he went to Dr. Smith. I made the appointment that day! You have to be in a place of desperation where you just don’t want to be fat anymore. I was there.
I find the Renew Natural Weight Loss Program to be incredibly easy. The food is real; all things I can easily find in the grocery store. It’s not pre-packaged meals, supplements or shakes. Portion control has been a key piece of this. I realize that we don’t need as much food as we think we need. I eat 3 meals and the correct portions and I’m not hungry.
I haven’t felt this good since I was in high school and college. I’m 42 years old so it’s been a long time since I felt healthy. For 42 years I ate what I wanted to. The end result was an unhealthy person, physically and emotionally.
I’m a better father now. My son is seven and my lifestyle change has really piqued the interest of my seven year-old son. He eats eggs for breakfast with me now. My daughter is 3 and hasn’t noticed that much, except she can snuggle in my lap easier now that I don’t have such a big stomach.
I’m a better employee at work, too . It’s been a whole cathartic experience for me. I was almost 300 pounds when I first went to see Dr. Smith. The counseling and encouragement I get has been very inspiring. When Dr. Smith asked me what my goal weight was I laughingly said 190 pounds (what I weighed my Senior year in High School). Dr. Smith didn’t flinch and said, “You can definitely make that goal”. He really believes in me and that inspires me to press on each week.
I feel so good. My body is transforming, My muscle tone is coming in strong with some simple weight lifting. I’m never going to go back to that place. You don’t know just how miserable you are when you’re that overweight.
But there’s got to be a will, deep inside you to improve yourself. I had hit a real low point. My doctor was going to put be on blood pressure and cholesterol medicine four months ago. Now, being 82 pounds thinner my blood pressure is well within the normal range (120/78).
It’s the best money I’ve ever spent! Without a doubt, Renew Natural Weight Loss Program works.

I lost 44 pounds in four months.
I felt fat and uncomfortable. I was very aware of the fact that I was overweight on a daily basis. I felt guilty about the food that I was eating. I was asked more than once if I was “expecting”. I was tired all the time and ate mostly carbohydrates.
It was amazing to me how much better I felt once I went on the Renew Natural Weight Loss Program. I had a lot more energy and I didn’t feel bloated. Every day I felt a sense of relief that what I was putting in my body was good for me.
I exercise every day now and I didn’t do that before. We have a home gym but we never used it. Now I work out in it and I actually enjoy doing it.
I lost 44 pounds in four months. The first two weeks on the program were a transition period for me. But after that it was really easy. After a month’s time I had all the measuring and cooking down to a science. I no longer had the need nor the desire for the old foods I used to eat. I went on two, one week vacations and still lost weight! This new way of living is definitely noticeable. I went from a size 14 to a size 2 in those four months. My friends all wanted to know what I was doing and told them all about the Renew Natural Weight Loss Program.
My husband participated too which was great. We were able to share in the meal preparations and we ate together which was especially nice. He lost 45 pounds in 3 months.
Best of all we were able to share our new healthy eating habits with our four children. I won’t deny, it was tough for them, at first. We used to eat out a lot and we stopped doing that on the Renew Program. But our meals at home were so much healthier and the variety of foods was greater. My children don’t eat nearly as many chicken fingers as they used to and they don’t miss them. They even ask for salads now. We want to be an active family and are riding bikes as our entertainment rather than eating out.
Another wonderful blessing of being on the Renew Natural Weight Loss Program is our overall health. No one in our family has been sick all Fall and Winter. And that’s saying something because there are six people in this family. I attribute it to our healthy eating habits and not eating nearly as much sugar as we used to. My friend’s children were constantly getting sick this past Fall, but not us. We’ve all been extremely healthy. Through October festivities, Thanksgiving and December holidays, we did not bring junk into our household and we’ve been blessed with good health.
I do recommend the Renew Natural Weight Loss Program to people. I tell people to think of the investment as an insurance policy for their future health. The healthier they eat today and the better they take care of their bodies, the more active their future will be. Plus, it’s important to set a good example for our children to take action now for their future health.

The Renew Natural Weight Loss Program works. Since April 2008, I’ve lost 85 pounds. I know how to keep the weight off now and it’s really not that hard. When you eat the correct foods you don’t have the craving and you don’t need as much food. That was a real eye-opener for me. I had gotten to a point where I really no longer wanted to be overweight. I wanted to learn how to be healthy and eat correctly. I was very confused over the mixed messaging and different types of plans.
I found exactly what I was looking for with the Renew Natural Weight Loss Program. I learned, for the first time, how to eat the right foods, the right combinations of proteins and carbohydrates, and the correct portions sizes. I basically learned how to eat to maximize my energy and minimize my unhealthy habits.
I’m making better choices at restaurants and with the foods I buy at the grocery store. I have a more balanced view of things. I am more conscience of the foods I put into my body.

I could not be more pleased with the results that I achieved by using the Renew Natural Weight Loss Plan! I not only lost the weight that I wanted to lose, but the lost inches got me back comfortably into my clothes and, there was another bonus – I feel terrific!
I had no idea that just 10 extra pounds could make you feel so badly. But the exercise has increased my energy – and I can live with this new relationship to food!

The Renew Natural Weight Loss plan is the most successful program I have ever followed. After having lost 32 pounds, I now have a healthy blood pressure, cholesterol and no longer need my daily dose of Prilosec. I have more energy and feel so much better. Many of my pre-menopausal symptoms have greatly diminished – weight and diet really make a difference in the way your body functions and feels.
The program really helped me get a handle on portion and carbohydrate control, which are so important in maintaining a healthy weight. I also appreciate having a natural approach to healthcare and a doctor who understands and prescribes from that perspective. I highly recommend Renew Natural Weight Loss!

A few years after my husband of 30 years left me I started dating a wonderful man who liked to go out to eat. Portion control and good food choices went out the window. During the year, my weight started to creep up because I was eating more at home, too. I put my 10s away and dragged out my 12s. He and I broke up, no more restaurant meals, but those eating habits remained. I’d graze through Harris Teeter or Costco, testing all the free samples.
During the Thanksgiving & Christmas holidays my 12s started getting tight. Time for action! I decided to start the the Renew Natural Weight Loss program.
I chose to be totally committed to this diet and not quibble about the rules. After the first week’s dramatic results, I was sold.
Week #1: Down 7.5 lbs, 3″ off my waist, 5 ½” total. Blood pressure went down.
Week #2: Down 11 lbs, another 2″ off my waist, 10″ total. Blood pressure still down.
By Week #6 I’m down 18 lbs, 6 inches off my waist, 14 ¾” total!
Surprise, surprise…I have NOT been hungry on the diet. I had been doing what I called nervous eating. Snacking when I felt restless.
Surprise, surprise…I immediately felt an overwhelming sense of well being and optimism enter my life.
Surprise, surprise…I immediately had more energy!
Surprise, surprise…I am enjoying food more. There is considerably less food on my plate so I find myself cutting it into tiny pieces, and chewing it well. I want to get the MOST out of every morsel I put into my mouth. I am really tasting foods now instead of gulping down my meals.
I feel great. The size 8 jeans I bought only two weeks ago are loose. I can’t believe I’m thinking about size 6 already!
