Thank you Elle, you’re an awesome person and are making this whole process enjoyable where I feared it’d  be a chore!

What helps me the most is food prepping and knowing what I will eat all day. I have been successful at avoiding temptation because the meals (Elle recommended) for me are delicious and satisfying and since I have them prepared I don’t need to free feed.

My laziness about cooking created bad habits. Now that I am more thoughtful about the entire process from shopping to cooking to prep and eating I don’t feel the need to eat just anything.

I’m just glad Andrea recommended (Elle) to me. (She) is just what I need to get my diet and habits back on track.

I have learned so much from our one on one meetings and the lunch and learns.  I have taken something from each session and focused on what I need to continue to do to get back to a healthier lifestyle…. This program has been the jump start I needed and I am so grateful to the TOUR and Elle for offering this to our employees.

Working with Elle has helped me to improve my nutrition choices. I’ve lost 10 pounds and have seen an improvement with the way my clothes fit. I’ve increased my exercise and have seen an increase in my energy levels and attitude.

Yet, the biggest surprise of this program was with my PSA numbers, which are a marker for prostate cancer. Since 2015 my numbers have been steadily going up and for the first time I have seen a reduction in those numbers. The only change in my life that could attribute to that has been working with Elle. This is the best thing I’ve ever done.

Jennifer is subscribed to the meal plan services from Elle. She has noted that her young son has been a picky eater in the past. Here is her feedback on the meal plan: “(my son) ate a whole muffin with milk and said it was delicious! Husband said dinner knocked it out of the park as well.” She has also healthfully lost two pounds in her first week of her meal plan!

“Thank you so very much for your time, patience, and lessons.  I really did learn a lot about what foods to eat, and why.  Which in turned helped me pay attention to what I was eating, and when.  I know I wasn’t a very good pupil, with everything I have going on in the outside world, I just didn’t stay organized..   I look forward to having some sessions with you in the future, in the summer program here at work, or just directly with your company…”

I definitely feel that between the one-on-one sessions and the Lunch + Learns I am better prepared to meet my health goals. I did lose about five pounds this fall and I am looking forward to keeping that progress rolling forward into the New Year.  I have really enjoyed the Lunch + Learn program. It’s a lovely way to spend an hour in the middle of the work week. The last few were especially fun with the interaction during the knife skills presentation.
