Weight Loss Success Stories
At The HealthCore Workshop we have seen countless weight loss success stories. Below are just a few of our weight loss success stories as well as some before and after pictures.
“I am the Liver Type. My name is Dan Searle and I have struggled with my weight for over a decade now, but when my doctor told me that I would develop diabetes if I didn’t lose some weight, I made up my mind to find a way to get results. I got on the Nutrisystem program for men and I did lose about 20 lbs – the problem was that just three months later, I went in for a check-up and discovered that not only had I gained ALL of the weight back, my cholesterol had gotten worse and my body fat percentage increased. My doctor recommended that I go to Dr. Berg. I was amazed how he described all of my symptoms to a tee – needless to say, today it has been 6 months since I lost my weight. I feel better than I have felt in years and I know my health has improved PERMANENTLY! I feel better than I have felt in years” -Dan S.
“On 5-2-05, I started the program weighing in at 148 pounds, fluctuating between a size 12 and 14. My thing was chocolate and I majorly craved it in any form. I also loved popcorn and salty things. In Dr. Berg’s book, he describes chocolate and salt cravings being the Adrenal type. Since I was a little girl I’ve struggled with weight, taking dancing classes and other activities to try to lose it. I’ve tried many diets over the years, losing some weight but putting it right back on. Through Dr. Berg’s program, I realized I’ve been focused on the wrong thing: calories and fat. His program helped me understand hormones and especially how to trigger fat-burning hormones through foods. The weight slowly and steadily came off at exactly 2 pounds per week. At the end of the year I now weigh 103 and can fit into a size 2. I have absolutely no desire for chocolate or sweet fruits. This has become a healthy lifestyle as I have energy, better sleep, and no salt cravings. “I Lost 45 lbs, No Cravings, More Energy, Better Sleep” – Fern A.
“I started the program at 156 pounds and now I am at 139 lbs, losing a total of 17 pounds within 9 weeks. I was a size 14 and now I can fit into some of my size 8 clothes. However, this is amazing because I had a very stubborn metabolism. I’m a single mother raising three small children by myself and my health is important. My face has even changed – it’s less round. The best thing about this program is that it really brought my overall health up. I’m off all three medications (for blood pressure, thyroid and depression). My blood pressure is down to 117/70. Even though I was on thyroid medication, I was a primary Ovary type, which can cause a secondary thyroid problem. My clothes fit so much better and my energy is through the roof. I don’t need my Cokes to stay awake anymore. My body is used to the foods and I even prefer eating this way. I am consistently losing 2 pounds per week and Dr. Berg explained that this was the maximum amount of fat a person could burn, so I’m happy about it. As a soccer coach I need my energy and health back. Everyone in the office is wondering what I’m doing. Thanks so much! I Lost 17 lbs, lost 6 sizes, off medicine, lower blood pressure” – Lori B.
“I have been on your program for about 6 months and I could absolutely not be happier with my results. I have lost over 95 pounds and I feel terrific. I started the program weighing 339 pounds and now I weigh 244. What was very interesting is that the first month on your program I lost NO weight; however, I could breathe better, I didn’t get winded when I ran up the stairs, and I had much more energy. But the next month I lost 21 pounds. The third month I was 63 pounds less. Normally, I would have given up within the first month; however, Dr. Berg explained to me that I had to heal my body’s endocrine system before fat could be burned. I also had to re-grow muscle protein in my legs, which made my knees weak, and muscle protein weighs more than fat, which explains why I was shrinking in my clothes but the weight didn’t initially change. I had this idea that I had to lose weight to get and be healthy, but Dr. Berg explained I had it backwards-I had to get healthy before I would lose weight. Dr. Berg has done more for me than any other doctor or diet I have ever tried. Thank you so much, Dr. Berg!!! “I Lost 95 lbs, feel terrific, more energy, breathe better” – Rusty F.
“I have so much energy and have lost 20 pounds in 4 weeks!”
Since I had my two children my hormones got all out of control. I tried everything to lose the weight, I ate healthy, took vitamins and I just couldn’t get healthy. I couldn’t stay out of bed; my energy was so bad I didn’t think I was a good mom. I am very happy to be sitting here with you today to say that I’ve lost weight and I am actually at the weight I should be before I had my kids which has been 8 years! – Jennifer S.

I have had a lot of pain from Fibromyalgia and my back had been going out a lot. I was having a lot of pain and headaches. A neurologist told me they were migraines and nothing seemed to help. I came in for the fibromyalgia and without expecting to lose any weight, I lost 20 pounds! I just couldn’t believe it.

“Don’t have to take allergy medication ever again!”

“For the first time in 2 years I can sleep at night no more back pain and I have lost 22 lbs in 3 1/2 months!”
For the first time in 2 years I have a good night sleep and I have lost 22 lbs in 3 ½ months! This program has been the best thing I have ever done. When I first came in I was a bit skeptical, I was not sleeping I had disturbing hot flashes, and hormonal issues, I gained weight and back pain. As a physical therapist I knew what to do, what to eat properly, what to exercise but I wasn’t getting any results. When I came in the program it helped me a lot with cleanses and energy work. They identified the different structures, and that my adrenals weren’t functioning correctly. I didn’t exercise, I wasn’t hungry and I ate the right food for my body. I highly recommend this program to anyone. - Barbie M.
“I don’t have to take Thyroid medicine anymore!”

“I have more energy, sleep better and have lost 32 pounds!”
Since I started this program I’ve lost 32 pounds. I have more energy and I am sleeping better.

This one I can do without it. I love it! Thank you! – Judy N.
