Eight months into my PD journey and today I hit the 30 lbs gone mark! I never imagined I would see the 150’s again (haven’t been this weight since high school). I started my WFPB journey on Jan 1st but was floundering with knowing what to cook and struggling to find compliant recipes that I liked. I found PD and enrolled on Feb 25th. Protective Diet provided me with all the tools I needed to be successful. I continually marvel how easy it has become to eat this way. PD is no longer a “diet” for me but a way of life. New goals are set and work continuing until I find that sweet spot for my body (somewhere between 5-10 lbs I think). Side note: My weight has fallen off in clumps with periods of plateauing which previously would have derailed my commitment. The great PD recipes are filling and easy to make thus making it easy to keep on track! Love how good I feel.

I have lost over 12in around my waist, moved my belt over 7 loops and clothes I never thought I’d ever wear again are too big. I thought I was a good cook but now I am an expert. When I'm tired from work and the last thing I want to do is cook, I feel energized once I begin chopping vegetables. My grocery bills have dropped about $40 per week. Protective Diet is environmentally amazing: no palm oil, much less packaging than processed prepared foods, and cruelty free. I am so happy to be able to consume as much clean, diverse, energizing, and delicious food until I feel full and satisfied. PD is the next evolution in my vegan plant-based journey. I make the live PD-ED class every week a priority in my life. The live classes are informative and fun. The PDL support group is the best therapy I’ve ever had. Many people have been commenting on how great I look and this year will be the 1st time in my life I have a 2 piece swimsuit. Thank you Julie, you are love and light!
