My Slim Down Method...


But FIRST, please learn from my mistakes of what NOT to do. I guarantee my SHOCKING results will save you a lot of time, heartache and money!


I felt compelled to share my personal weight loss story with the world. By no means am I a doctor, dietician or fitness expert. I'm just an ordinary, everyday woman that stumbled upon a weight loss method that "works fast in real life with real life situations."


Picture of me before and after I uncovered the "rules of weight loss"...from the only resource that ever worked !!


How it Started...

I'm a real person who has struggled with weight loss for most of my life. Up and down like a yo-yo, my skin feels like a rubber band. Honestly, it has been very frustrating and depressing at times. For years I have been experimenting with many weight loss methods that unfortunately did not work!

I have tried everything, low carb, low fat, diet pills, cleanses, packaged meals, patches, all the "famous diets" and nothing worked for me in the long term.

Then, after giving birth to my son things got worse. I gained even more weight and it seemed no matter what I tried I could not get back into my normal size or keep any of the weight off that I could manage to lose.

I was getting a little desperate at this point, I was now the heaviest I have ever been! The really sad part was that I started to withdraw from social situations and was rejecting my friends & family.

I knew something had to change fast...and it did, but not until I made a few more big mistakes!


My Big Mistake #1

I was so intent on losing weight and looking for an easy way out, I began to search online and I found a website offering weight loss green tea. It said that it was a "free trial offer" and all I had to do was pay a small shipping and handling fee.

The web page hit all my right buttons, with testimonials, celebrities and promises of fast weight loss. Looking back, they basically told me what I wanted to hear. So I went for it.

My personal results - I had an upset stomach, felt bloated and the only part that weighed less was my bank account. Turns out I did not read the fine print:

It went something like this, after your free 15 day trial is over, if I did not call them, they would continue to charge my credit card each and every month, $39.95

That's a yearly cost of: $495...OUCH!


My Big Mistake #2

Still determined a few months later, I saw a program on TV about the Acai berry promoting all of its wonderful health benefits. I think it was on the CBS News. Anyways, I looked online again and found another offer that looked even better, a "free trial offer" for Acai berry weight loss supplements.

The slick website and hypnotic text sucked me in...again.

My personal results - I tried it for a few months and managed to lose 5 pounds. I was not convinced whether it was from the supplements or the extra walking I was doing. Same fine print though:

After my free trial was over in 14 days, if I did not call them, they would continue to charge my credit card each and every month, $29.95

That's a yearly cost of: $295...And if you add on the yearly cost of the Green tea that's $790 - Who has that kind of cash to blow these days?


What Worked - How I Lost The Weight...

You must think by now that I'm clueless to get taken in, not once but twice. But, when you are vulnerable you'll do and believe almost anything. I learned my lesson the hard way (I hope you don't have to)  and will never try to take the easy way out again.

January 14th, 2010 is a day I will never forget! My friend Sandy at work told me about a website called the Accelerated Fat Burning Diet.

Later that evening I checked them out & right away, the website really made sense. They were not trying to dazzle me with "fake testimonials" or "fancy sales schemes". It turns out that Prevention Journal lists it as one of the most popular women's diet sites online for the last 5 years in a row.

So I purchased the plan and it was a small one time fee, pennies in comparison. Almost immediately it started to work. Keep in mind that I had previously tried every other diet under the sun with dismal results.

I was ecstatic and relieved to have finally found something that worked fast! I melted off 21 pounds in the first 17 days. Then, I kept going through the cycle until I hit my ideal weight & months later I'm still thin!

I was shocked to learn the real reason I was overweight -- because I was eating the wrong foods, the wrong types of calories per meal, and I was also eating meals in the wrong patterns each day.

They go on to explain why you will NEVER lose weight with, low carb diets, low calorie diets, low fat diets or silly weight loss supplements. You can read more here.


My Conclusion

The Accelerated Fat Burning Diet Works! In fact I never even felt like I was "on a diet". I ate normal food, always felt full and I did not have to kill myself with exercise. It works for both men and women.

I was at the site the other day to get my personalized menu plan and I noticed they are having a 50% discount sale for anyone that wants to try the diet.

In my experience I found them to be a very reputable company with an "easy solution for losing weight fast". Also, whenever I have a question they always email me back an answer, usually within the hour. This kind of 24/7 customer service is something I never found anywhere else! You can try it for yourself right here.

I READ ABOUT THIS SITE IN WOMENS HEALTH MAGAZINE. I JUST DOWNLOADED IT. WISH ME LUCK!

Thanks Dawn! previously i tried the new "Curves" Weight Loss Center here in Arlington for 6 months, with minimal results. The accelerated fat burning plan is hands down the BEST thing i have ever done.

The fat burning plan worked well. My husband decided to run the Comrades marathon for the 13th time and was too heavy and had to lose some weight quickly to assist with his training program. He lost 7kg in the week. Will keep the diet for such occassions.

I wanted to thank you for your recommendation, I have lost 11 pounds. When I first started I WAS somewhat skeptical. I had tried every single diet and NONE worked for me. Every time I went off one of the fad diets my body paid the price, feeling tired and unhealthy. I still have about 12 pounds to go but I know I can do it. Overall I loved it. Thank You.

I tried this diet to get in shape and I lost 7lbs in the first 9 days -- then about 6 more the next week. I did not lose weight as fast as you did but I'm still VERY happy with my outcome.

Like my mother told me, when things sound too good to be true they usually are. I fell for the green tea, body wraps and weight loss cremes.  I LOST $349.

as a dietician i know there are many benefits to the acai berry but i recommend getting the real fruit from a health food store. not from an unknown company selling some kind of supplements.

I've also tried tried everything I can think of to lose weight, calorie counting, various diet drinks, gym memberships, Pilates, personal trainers, prepared meals the list goes on and on. I downloaded the fat burning diet plan ( from your link above and got 50% off). It hasn't quite been a week and I've lost 14 lbs!! I knew I'd lose some weight but I was expecting a couple of pounds not 14! I cannot tell you how delighted I am, the results speak for themselves! From now on I am going to tell everybody to try this amazing diet plan. THANKS so much for your recommendation!

ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING!!
How can companies offer a "free trial" for a weight loss supplement and have that end up costing an arm and a leg?
