Leslie’s struggle: Feeling stuck and defeated
I want you to meet my client, Leslie, a vibrant woman who’s always had a full plate—both in life and on her dinner table. She’s a dedicated professional, a loving wife, and someone who’s been trying to juggle it all without losing herself in the process. But despite all her efforts, Leslie found herself facing a challenge that felt bigger than her busy schedule: prediabetes.
Like so many women, Leslie believed that skipping meals would help her shed those stubborn pounds. With her days packed from morning to night, it seemed like a logical way to cut calories. But instead of feeling lighter, she found herself feeling more and more weighed down—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. The scale wasn’t moving, her energy was at an all-time low, and no matter what she tried, nothing seemed to help.
Leslie’s biggest struggle was her sluggish metabolism. Years of inconsistent eating had caught up with her, and her body was stuck in a cycle of highs and lows. She’d start her day with coffee (because, let’s be honest, who doesn’t?), skip breakfast, push through lunch with barely a snack, and by dinner, she was ravenous. This led to overeating, which only made her feel worse.
But it wasn’t just about the weight. Leslie was facing the threat of prediabetes (a recent and suprising diagnosis), and that was her turning point. The fatigue, the brain fog, the constant battle with food cravings—it all started to feel overwhelming. She was frustrated, scared, and most of all, tired of feeling like her body was betraying her.
As a nutritionist specializing in low GI and chronic disease management, I knew exactly what Leslie was going through. The cycle of skipping meals, dealing with erratic blood sugar levels, and the emotional toll it takes—these are challenges I see in so many women. Leslie needed more than just another diet; she needed a sustainable, science-backed approach that would support her metabolism, help her lose weight, and, most importantly, manage her blood sugar to keep prediabetes at bay.
Leslie knew she had to make a change, but with so much conflicting information out there, she felt lost. What she really needed was guidance—someone who could help her navigate this journey with a plan that made sense for her busy life. She was ready for a solution that didn’t just promise results but delivered them in a way that felt empowering, not restrictive.
How the Whole GI Protocol gave Leslie her life back
At the time Leslie made the decision to change, she was at a breaking point. She was tired—tired of feeling stuck, tired of her energy being sapped, and tired of seeing the same number on the scale, week after week, despite her best efforts. What she really wanted, in her own words, was her life back. She wanted to reverse the course of her prediabetes, regain her energy, and feel good in her own skin again.
Here's the thing. Leslie had been following me for over a year, reading my newsletters, and absorbing the tips and advice I shared. She found a lot of value in what I was offering, but she hesitated to take the next step. Looking back, she wished she had joined my program from day one. A whole year had passed, and there she was, still battling the same issues she’d faced a year ago. It was devastating for her to realize that, despite all her efforts, nothing had truly changed. The frustration and sense of defeat were palpable, and that’s when she knew—it was time to take action.
Leslie decided to invest in herself and join the Low GI Weight Loss program. She was determined to get a handle on her health, reverse her prediabetes, and finally feel better about herself. And that’s exactly what she did.
Over the next 30 days, Leslie committed to the Whole GI Protocol framework, and the changes were almost immediate. Things started to shift in ways she hadn’t expected. She began to understand the importance of how, when, and why she ate, not just what she ate.
Here’s what we did together:
-
Learning the full Protocol: Leslie dove into the Whole GI Protocol, where she learned both the key and advanced principles that would set her up for long-term success (Learn more about the protocol here). It wasn’t just about following a diet—it was about understanding the deeper principles that make a lasting difference.
-
Mastering how, when, and why to eat: Leslie learned the correct food combinations, how to cook and keep meals blood sugar-friendly, and how to shift the timing of her meals and exercise for maximum impact. This was a game-changer for her. She discovered that it wasn’t about depriving herself, but about nourishing her body in the right way.
-
Making low GI meals easy: Together, we worked on making low GI meals that were simple, delicious, and satisfying. Leslie was amazed at how easy it was to create meals that supported her health goals without sacrificing flavor or variety.
-
Transforming her kitchen: One of the biggest surprises for Leslie was when we cleaned out her kitchen. She was shocked to find that she already had so many great options on hand. We turned her kitchen into her new BFF—a space that was fully aligned with her weight loss goals and made healthy eating a breeze.
Throughout this process, Leslie felt supported and empowered. She wasn’t just following a plan; she was learning a whole new way of living. And in just 30 days, the results spoke for themselves—Leslie had lost weight, felt more energized, and finally started to see the progress she’d been longing for.
The transformation: Leslie’s new life
The transformation Leslie experienced over those 30 days was nothing short of remarkable. By the end of the program, Leslie had lost a total of 7 pounds, a victory that she hadn’t been able to achieve in YEARS of trying different diets and strategies—we've all been there, done that.
But this wasn’t just about the number on the scale (as you know there are better ways to track weight loss)—it was about how she felt.
Leslie’s energy levels were higher than they’d been in a long time. The sluggishness and fatigue that had plagued her were replaced with a newfound vitality. She was waking up feeling refreshed, working out at the right times, staying energized throughout the day, and she even noticed that the brain fog she’d been dealing with was starting to lift.
But the benefits didn’t stop there. Leslie’s blood sugar levels had stabilized, and the threat of prediabetes no longer hung over her like a dark cloud (her doctor gave her the news after 6 months of being on the protocol). She felt in control of her health for the first time in years, and this sense of empowerment was priceless. Her husband even joined in on the journey and lost 9 pounds himself.
What’s even more exciting is what’s now possible for Leslie that wasn’t before. With her energy restored and her weight moving in the right direction, Leslie feels like she has her life back (YAY!). She’s more productive at work, more present with her family, and she’s no longer held back by the fear of what her future health might look like. The changes she made through the Whole GI Protocol didn’t just solve her immediate health concerns—they’ve set her on a path for long-term wellness.
Now, Leslie can focus on the things that matter most to her, without the constant worry about her health. She’s learned that with the right approach, managing her weight and blood sugar doesn’t have to be a struggle. It can be simple, sustainable, and even enjoyable. And the best part? Leslie knows that this is just the beginning. She’s excited to continue her journey, knowing that she has the tools and knowledge to maintain her health and keep progressing toward her goals.
Leslie’s story: Proof that change is possible
Leslie’s journey is a powerful example of what can happen when you take control of your health with the right guidance and tools.
In just 30 days, she went from feeling defeated and exhausted to energized and empowered. She lost 7 pounds, stabilized her blood sugar, and regained the energy she really thought was lost for good. But more than that, Leslie transformed her approach to eating, learned how to nourish her body, and set herself on a path to long-term wellness.
What started as a desire to reverse prediabetes and feel better about herself turned into a full-blown lifestyle change. Leslie now has the confidence to manage her health, the energy to live her life fully, and the knowledge that she’s capable of achieving her goals. This transformation didn’t just solve her immediate problems—it opened up new possibilities for her future.

Esther, who had struggled with weight loss due to other health issues, managed to lose 20 pounds while feeling the incredible anti-inflammatory benefits of the diet. Despite being sedentary, she found that the low glycemic approach not only helped her shed weight but also improved her overall well-being.
In her own words...
"The low GI plan is working wonders for me. Since the beginning of the year, I have lost 20 lbs. That includes being sedentary the entire time due to other health issues. I'm 6 lbs from my target weight and I feel really good. I really feel the anti-inflammatory benefits of this diet are amazing. The other thing that I find amazing is, that I don't feel like I'm putting any effort into doing this. It comes very easily. Thank you."

In her own words...
"Thank you! The prediabetic plan was so helpful! I felt full throughout the day, lighter, and more confident in my food choices.

I lost 5.5lbs in about 1 1/2 weeks (225lbs to 219.5lbs). That was a really big deal for me because I had reached a plateau for months at 225lbs.
