The Betr program has been a wonderful break-through. It does take some learning, some organization (making sure you have your fridge stocked with the right foods), and some time in the kitchen preparing healthy, organic food. However, Betr has provided some easy, yummy recipes that make it not too hard to prepare healthy food that tastes good. If you can do the work in the kitchen and follow the program, the results come so fast and so consistently, that it seems like a miracle.
I have internalized the fact that weight loss happens more in the kitchen than in the gym. This is a mind-shift for me. I used to run and lift weights moderately, doing one of those kinds of workouts about 5-6 days per week while eating "healthy," or so I thought. At that point, the best I could do was losing 1/2 lb/week. Now that I am older, doing high impact exercise is hard on the joints and won't work for me. How thrilled to see that by following this program, I could literally lose about 1/2 lb per day! I walk for cardio and do calisthenics with my own body weight for strengthening--much easier than what I used to do... and the results are happening more readily! The time spent on food prep is so worth it. Also, as you eat healthy food, your system becomes cleansed, and the cravings for junk food really diminish, which makes it easier to make this clean eating a lifestyle change instead of a "diet."
I've also got to say that my coach Amy has been very helpful. I had a ton of questions at the beginning of the program about the do's and don't's of the program, and Amy always spent plenty of time on the phone with me, and Amy was always available by text. She was friendly, encouraging, and knowledgeable. If ever a question came up that she wasn't sure of, she would check with nurses who work for Betr and even Dr Ferro himself. I would highly recommend Amy as a coach and this program in general.
