Testimonials
For the last few years, my doctor has been after me to lose some weight in
order to get my "numbers" down. The one that really botherd me was the blood pressure. It was only slightly high, but I did not want to go on blood pressure medication.
So my doctor wanted me to lose some weight...not a lot of weight, but about
10 pounds. Personally I also wanted to learn about nutition and how to
better my eating habits. Enter Elizabeth DiMeo into my life and fast forward
to this past Friday when I went for a check up with my doctor. He was
thrilled that my blood pressure was at 118 over 70 and I was thrilled too. I
had lost 23 pounds since I was there last (I did weight 196 lbs) and I felt
great. I lost the weight because of Elizabeth's proper diet for me and I
credit my success to one thing.....really one person alone..... and that is
Elizabeth DiMeo and her proper education on nutrition. I decided that I
could follow her plan that she devised for me and I WOULD stick to it and
the results have been awesome. Thank you Elizabeth....I'm one of your many
success stories.
My husband originally was recommended to Elizabeth by his doctor. After his first visit, we discussed her plan and I realized that she may be able to help me lower my cholesterol. During our meeting, my husband and I were shocked to hear that what we thought was a healthy diet was not. Elizabeth suggested together that we change our eating habits and lifestyle. She revamped our exercise regiment as well. The changes she suggested were a bit difficult at first, but after a few weeks we started to get the hang of it. And we have continued with the changes for over a year.
I was absolutely amazed how my body composition completely changed over that time. I felt more energized and my body was becoming leaner.
I had my cholesterol tested several months later and my LDL had dropped 50 points. Shortly thereafter I went for my yearly physical and I had lost 20 pounds, and my cholesterol had dropped even further (from 249 to 185). I was extremely pleased!
Elizabeth is an amazing motivator. She is so passionate and knowledgeable about what she believes in - that she inspires you to re-evaluate - not only your eating habits . . . but overall life style as well.
Elizabeth's impact on our organization has been substantial and immediate. She was extremely well received by our staff. Feedback has included comments such as "I have lost 16 pounds, my skin is better, I have more energy, and I am sleeping better." We are a small company and our people are our biggest asset. Elizabeth’s program offers instant payback!
Dear Elizabeth,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for my new life! I’m 47 years old, and feel like I’ve just started to LIVE!!!
When I first met you 2 ½ months ago, I thought I ate 'healthy' food and led a healthy lifestyle... what a surprise I had after our first meeting! I was pretty shocked to learn that I had not been following a healthy way of life.
I was overweight, feeling down/depressed/stressed, ached all over, just felt yucky. My physician said that my blood tests indicated that I was 'healthy as a horse'...but I didn’t FEEL healthy.
When I left your office after our first meeting, I was actually scared, scared that I would not be able to change the way I cook, shop and think about food. But, after reading what you gave me, (your instructions are awesome!!) and I understood how to shop/cook/eat.
I was absolutely floored after only FOUR DAYS of following your instruction. I felt better than I did when I was 20 years old! I am absolutely amazed at how wonderful I feel... not only physically, but mentally.
I can SEE the changes in my body... my arms and legs look leaner and just look BETTER. My eyes are sparkling... they are never bloodshot anymore... my hair is shiny... I could go on and on and on.
Although you said that the way I am eating is not for weight loss, it’s for feeling better. I have lost 16 pounds WITHOUT EVEN TRYING!!!
A few weeks ago, a woman who I DON’T EVEN KNOW stopped me on the street. I thought she was going to ask directions - imagine my surprise when she said to me, "you are beautiful…you are glowing." I burst into tears. I will never forget how I felt at that moment. I DID feel beautiful. Thank you for that!
I used to go to bed by 9:30 at the latest, and struggled to get out of bed at 6:30. EVERY morning when I went to get out of bed, I ached. I would have to slowly put my feet on the floor and everything cracked when I stood up. I now watch the 11:00 news every night, and wake up by 5:30 WITHOUT the alarm clock. My body doesn’t ache, my muscles don’t hurt!
I also used to run about 3 miles/4 x wk. I can now run 6 miles / 4 x week without a problem!
I had been taking Paxil for 16 years, if I missed a dose, I began to feel grumpy, frustrated, and depressed. I no longer take Paxil!! AMAZING!!!
I look forward to waking up in the morning! I love my life, and I now love myself... and I owe that to you.
So, thank you, Elizabeth DiMeo, for saving my life!!

I had resisted going to a nutritionist for many years. I had always known that I didn't eat right, but also knew that I had tried it all, I had done the raw diet, I had been a very brief vegetarian, I had done sugar busters, and I could flush with the best of them. No matter what I always ended up in the same place. I had an incredible sugar tooth, and I still didn't know how to eat properly.
I met Elizabeth in June, and decided it was time to take the plunge. After a brief conversation on the phone, I was instructed to keep a food log for two weeks prior to our first meeting in my home. Wow, the food log, if you are honest, as I was, is a frightening experience, and quite an eye opener. A validation that I needed an expert. We met, and Elizabeth explained to me in detail what the food choices I had made were doing to my body. Naturally, we can see what we are doing to our bodies, but to have an understanding of it from the inside out was fascinating to me. I was ready to make the changes. Elizabeth started me out on small changes, ones that I could achieve without too much worry, or obsession. From there, every conversation we had, she added in some other small steps, and as time went on, the changes began to feel like a natural way of eating, and exercising. I found Elizabeth's conversation, and recommendations to be quite inspiring. She kept me on my path, and has changed my life. Realizing what I was eating, when, and why, has changed my life. I no longer aim for perfection, but the combination is better than it ever was b4.

I feel fortunate to have found someone as qualified and passionate as Elizabeth. Through her knowledge and guidance, I have been able to make lifestyle changes that have made me healthier and that I will continue to embrace because of my results. With a weight loss of 32 lbs and lowered blood pressure, I feel healthy and energized.
Working with Elizabeth has been an education and truly the best investment I have ever made in myself.

Elizabeth is not only informed and talented, she exhibits an uncanny intuition about an individual's state of body and mind. As a well-read, health conscious, middle-aged mother, I attended my first session with Elizabeth intending to get relief from chronic arthritis with a secondary goal of reducing the fat around my waist. I came armed with recent blood work from my physician and what I thought was a wealth of information regarding nutrition and exercise. Not only did she wildly impress me with her evaluation, she was thorough, inspiring, overflowing with energy, and she made me laugh. After six weeks of an elimination diet aimed at reducing inflammation and de-toxing, I lost eighteen pounds, increased my energy, reduced my stress level, and generally felt healthier and more in control of my life. Elizabeth has changed the way I think and will eat for the rest of my life. The concept of taking care of myself, while taking care of everyone else, is palatable and much easier to achieve thanks to her expertise. I wait with great anticipation for a cookbook with her delicious, healthful recipes and good solid nutritional advice.

Dear Elizabeth,
I met you just about 1 year ago and you helped me make
the changes in my diet that I knew I need to do. I
think your strength and conviction were key factors in
helping me understand what was lacking from my own
efforts to improve my diet and lifestyle.
In addition to what you did to help me, the real
miracle is that you managed to convince my husband to
do some things I had truly been nagging him about for
some time. I tried to help him make
important changes in his diet and my words were not
effective.
In one visit , Elizabeth, you managed to persuade
Allan to make many of these changes and he really
understood why he should make them and he has seen
many positive effects as he mentions in his own
letter.
Thank you so much, and keep up the good work.

Elizabeth,
When my wife first suggested that I come and see
you for nutritional counseling, my initial skeptical
reaction, was to wonder what could possibly be so
great about this nutritionist.
Of course after meeting you for only a few minutes,
I knew exactly what Laurie was talking about. Your
passion and enthusiasm has propelled me to loose over
30 pounds that I have kept off for over a year now.
However, better than the weight loss is how much
better I feel. After having been overweight,
overstressed and addicted to sugar for many years, I
now consume virtually no sugar or artificial
sweeteners and I feel great.
A couple of weeks ago I had to undergo emergency
appendectomy As a result of being in such good
physical condition at 51 years of age, I came through
the surgery virtually effortlessly, convincing the
doctor to release me from the hospital after a day and
a half and I was back in the gym after 4 days.
Thank you so much for all you have done for me.
