    I have weighed close to a quarter ton at my heaviest and have lost 213 pounds, over half of my body weight! I know that I will keep off the weight and allow my body to heal itself from all of the abuse I put it through because I am following a Protective Diet.

    A Protective Diet (PD) allows me to eat foods that will naturally help me obtain and maintain optimal health and my ideal weight. I am about 40 pounds away from my ideal weight but with the support I get from the Protective Diet Living (https://protectivediet.com/pdl) Facebook group, I know that I will practice this lifestyle from here on out! It has helped me reverse GERD, sleep apnea, candida, migraines, and arthritis. I take no more prescription medications or supplements. I went from a size 8X to 12. The Protective Diet Ed classes are so much more than losing weight.

    When I was at my heaviest I felt like I had no hope for a happy life. It was a miserable existence. Since losing the weight and regaining my health with the help of PD, I am full of hope for my future. I even went back to school at 40 years of age to be a nurse. It has been a lifelong dream of mine to work in the medical field and help others. Now, I have the stamina and confidence I need to pursue my dreams again! PD was created by someone who overcame obesity to help others and I want to spread the word.

    Today is my last day of the 30 Day Detox! In 30 days, I have lost six pounds without being hungry, counting calories, or feeling deprived. The food on a Protective Diet is delicious. The support that Julie, Jerry, and the rest of the PD family provide is the most caring, thoughtful, and knowledgeable I… Read more or comment “Lost Weight, Gained a Smile and a New Outlook!”

    All The Don’ts PD Has Brought Me

    Today is my 2nd PD-versary — I think. I didn’t pay much attention to the actual day because I didn’t really believe I’d ever need to reference it! I know I would not have started on my birthday, so I am going with the day after. I lost 30 pounds the first year, and maybe… Read more or comment “All The Don’ts PD Has Brought Me”

    I joined PD in May

    I joined PD in May of 2017 after seeing a post on FB. I can’t begin to express my gratitude for the changes I have experienced since joining. A little about myself – I have been obese for most of my adult life, trying one diet after another (you name it, I’ve probably tried it)… Read more or comment “I joined PD in May”

    30 days on PD (again)

    It has been years since I have done PD 100%. I never really left completely. Even when I went off plan there were recipes that I just loved. Today is my 30 days on PD again and for the last time. I have felt so good. All my inflammation and always feeling tired is gone.… Read more or comment “30 days on PD (again)”

    I started writing about my 30 days and this is a quick summary of my first 30 days on Protective Diet. On the morning of April 19th I checked my email and came across an email from Julie Marie with Protective Diet.

    Fasting is not for everyone: My 30 day fasting self challenge

    Here are some things I felt during my fast.
    1. Freedom. I felt great freedom from food as I knew my meal was not going to be until dinner time. I was able to make breakfast for Loewy, Myra and Cheryl without temptation and I enjoyed doing it. Except for Loewy, I was able… Read more or comment “Fasting is not for everyone: My 30 day fasting self challenge”
