At the Age of 71, Lisa Turned Her Life and Health Around

Saying goodbye to your favorite foods is not an option. Starving is not an option. And you have to stop making these 3 major mistakes that keep so many seniors from believing they can lose weight and get healthy. 

Hey there! I’m Lisa, and let me tell you, at 71, I feel more alive than ever. But it hasn’t always been rainbows and sunshine for me. A few years ago, my doctors gave me a big wake-up call…

Picture this: I was carrying some serious extra baggage. Yes, I’m talking about being overweight. I used to blame it on my age, thinking it was just a “normal” part of getting older. I mean, come on! All of my friends were struggling with their health while gobbling down their meds, so I was convinced it was all downhill from here. Boy, was I wrong!

Around that time, everything started to weigh on me. From walking to the grocery store to playing with my grandkids, I had to stop and catch my breath. 

Frustration set in as I realized that I had neglected my health for far too long. It felt like my medical records and my waist measurements were ganging up on me, conspiring to ruin my retirement years.

You might think: “Why is this old lady complaining about it now? She brought it on herself.” 

Now, here’s where things get really interesting. Losing weight over 60 is no joke. Even over 30 is already complicated. Our metabolism slows down, and our bodies don’t quite move like they used to. But guess what? I’m living proof that permanent weight loss is not a myth. It’s totally achievable!

I really wanted to share this because I have actually been able to turn my health around. And there was one thing that helped me more than anything else I tried.

If my story helps more people like me, I want to share it. What I’m about to tell you is not an industry secret or a magical solution. It’s a simple truth.

Life is finally good – but it wasn’t always like this

I’d been on every diet under the sun and couldn’t stick to any of them for more than a few weeks. It was like a vicious cycle: I’d lose weight, only to gain it back. And my health paid the price.

And let me tell you, forget everything you’ve been fed by magazines and the internet. Please, throw it out the window like yesterday’s leftovers. Those billion-dollar weight loss plans they push? They’ve got success rates as slim as a 1990s supermodel. We’re talking 3–5% chance of success. Talk about a losing bet!

It took me years to realize that the main problem was me. I kept making the same 3 big mistakes that kept me from getting healthier and happier.

Once I understood this, I finally started losing weight. Week after week. I’ve never been healthier or stronger. I hardly noticed when 39 pounds disappeared for good.

My journey began when a friend told me about a new weight loss program for seniors.

We hadn’t seen each other in months. In my mind, she was… you know, like me. 

But now she looked different. Leaner, healthier, happier. With a wide smile on her face. Even her posture was better!

She said this program helped her lose weight consistently without much effort. 

I won’t lie – I was very skeptical. It all sounded too good to be true. It all sounded like the “nutritionists hate her!” kind of advertising. But then again, I knew her personally, she was a dear friend that I trusted. And she was there, and she looked gorgeous. 

So I decided to try it for a week. And I would stop if I didn’t like it.

I have to admit, I didn’t follow it that strictly at first, but as the weeks went by, I found myself motivated by the alerts and constantly checking the program for meal ideas.

So without even noticing, I lost weight consistently. Not ever feeling hungry or guilty for indulging in a treat every now and then. 

And the best part? My health improved dramatically. Even my doctor was impressed with my cholesterol and heart rate.

I’m not done with my journey yet, but I wish every person could experience this relief. 

The joy of knowing the best part of your life is not over… it’s just beginning.

Well, here’s the deal: I’m about to spill the beans on how I banished those extra pounds, embraced a healthier lifestyle, and finally found the key to lasting weight loss. 

But first, I want to briefly highlight the 3 biggest mistakes I made so you can learn from my experience.

So buckle up because this is just the beginning of my epic tale.

Mistake #1: Following every diet under the sun

I always thought that in order to lose weight, I had to follow a special diet. And it had to be a strict one to work.

We’ve all seen extreme diets like keto, and don’t even get me started on the crazy ideas floating around Facebook, from the miraculous 14-day boiled egg diet to the coffee diet. Seriously, who comes up with these things?

Anyway, I looked them up in magazines and on the internet, and every diet swore they were easy to follow. But almost every one of them asked me to completely cut out certain foods, usually carbs. 

Here’s the cold, hard truth – the scarcity mindset. When you deprive yourself of the foods you love, you create the false notion that they are scarce in your life. And guess what happens when you believe that food is scarce? One little slip and you set yourself up for a full-blown binge. 

It took me so many years to understand a few simple truths – I should not feel guilty about eating the things I love once in a while, and my metabolism is not nearly as fast as it once was. I needed healthier nutrients to keep my heart, joints, and brain healthy. 

These fad diets are not only drastic, but they are designed for the masses. And they were certainly not designed for someone my age and body type. 

I now understand that my body craved balanced meals made just for me.

Sticking to one personalized diet created by professionals just for me, with all my needs in mind – that’s the key to success. 

This made me control my cravings and feel fuller with less food. I finally said goodbye to emotional eating.

Mistake #2: Not having a healthy routine

I felt that years of slacking off and lousy eating had done irreparable damage to my body and health. I thought it was too late for me to change. But here’s the thing: we can’t blame ourselves for everything. Life is busy, and boy, did it keep me on my toes!

For most of my life, I worked long hours, raised my two beautiful children who demanded my attention 24/7, and to top it off, we moved three times before finally settling down.

So, yeah, you could say that having a healthy routine wasn’t exactly at the top of my priority list. But you know what? It’s natural, and it happens to everyone.

But here’s the good news: it’s never too late to turn those bad habits around. With the right guidance and a touch of determination, we can reshape our routines and make healthier choices.

Now that I’m older and retired, I know I can do it right. I could still change my routine. 

So, my dear friends, it doesn’t matter if you’re 25, 50, or 75. Let’s rewrite the script of our eating habits and embark on a journey to better health. Enjoying the taste of nutritious meals that bring vitality and joy to our lives is easy and achievable.

You simply need a new routine designed specifically for you, your preferences, and your needs. Your plan has to be personalized. 

I just can’t believe it took me so long to realize this!

Mistake #3: Not eating enough and battling cravings

Let’s talk about a little mistake I made on my weight loss journey. 

Like any good American, I can’t resist a good burger and fries. 

So, in my quest to shed those pounds, I declared war on burgers and fries by eliminating them from my diet. But that only made me want them more. 

One time, I had a random bout of self-pity, and then I convinced myself that the ultimate solution was to live on nothing but apples for an entire week. I fell for that trick just because someone claimed to have lost a ton of weight doing it. In my defense, who wouldn’t want a magic apple to make those pounds disappear?

You already know about the scarcity mindset, so it was obviously a recipe for disaster. Depriving myself of everything only led to an epic loss of control. And let me tell you, when I finally gave in to temptation, I went on a full-blown junk food extravaganza. It was like a whirlwind of indulgence, and it left me feeling worse than ever. Lesson learned – restriction leads to rebellion.

It might sound silly, but I now understand that for me to finally lose weight, I actually needed those “bad” foods. 

Since starting the program my friend recommended, I’ve made peace with the foods I enjoy. They are no longer my adversaries but have become my allies in my weight loss journey. I’ve learned the art of moderation and balance – I include them in my diet, but I never indulge. 

After all these years of fighting the foods I love, I finally found what works for me – no restrictions.

Burgers may not be an everyday treat, but they are certainly still a part of my life!

Here’s what actually worked for me

Now what you’ve all been waiting for… the method that my friend shared with me! The solution they offered me was a personalized weight loss plan based on my age, health history, and favorite foods.

All I had to do was answer a simple, free quiz.

This thing that finally helped my friend and me is called Perfect Body. 

Now, obviously, I didn’t just take a quiz and lose weight immediately. You still have to watch what you eat if you want to lose weight safely. It’s not magic…

Calories in, calories out. The basics might sound obvious, but they still apply. You have to eat under a certain number of calories. So, most of the weight loss comes down to what you eat, planning your meals, your recipes, and more. 

And honestly, it’s just too much work. Sure, it works if you have a lot of free time on your hands. But who does these days?

But with Perfect Body, the company that creates personalized plans for you, it all became a breeze for me.

The application did everything for me, and there’s also a website version that I use when I’m at home. Things that used to frustrate me, like making sure meals were healthy, planning them, making grocery lists, looking up alternative meals if I didn’t have an ingredient or didn’t want to eat something specific… It was all done for me.

All I had to do was follow the recipes, which included most of my favorite meals, that Perfect Body gave me.

It sounded too good to be true, but like I said, a lot of weight loss comes down to the basics. 

So don’t think of it as just a weight loss journey.

It’s a lifestyle change.

It took me so long to realize that if you do it right, you can keep the weight off for good, continue eating your favorite meals, and start enjoying your favorite things, like playing with your grandchildren.

I couldn’t keep up with my grandkids before. Now that I’m right behind them when they’re running, their smiles fill my heart with joy and make everything I went through worth it.

Now I’m more confident than ever, and I look and feel better than I did 20 years ago!

I no longer look for a plan to improve my health and change my weight because I have already found it. And I found it at the exact time I really needed it.
