Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Last year I weighed over 200 pounds, was on 8 meds, have arthritis, crushed disks and was pre diabetic, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, ugh!!! I was tired all the time. Doctor after doctor told me I was old (60), women gain weight, I had a lot of injuries, I needed to accept that I should have surgery on my neck, back and knees. They really wanted to do surgery. I almost did, but a friend of mine had back surgery with a top doctor in the country, and she came out of worse, could barely move for months! I was scared to death! I got this protien powder to make another attempt to be healthier, but I was very depressed that expensive doctors were basically telling me my life was over. I had always been so athletic when young, I did not think I could go on. I was also on tons of opiates they prescribed. A nightmare! Last June, we had five unexpected deaths in our family, and then my beloved chow/wolf dog mix died suddenly (she was very old). I could not eat, I could not sleep. Food was like sawdust. I literally lost my sense of taste! The only thing i found i could tolerate was this powder blended in milk and ice. I just drank that once or twice a day, and ate almost nothing else. This protien powder kept me from really getting sick, because I was getting enough to go on. I started to lose weight, over this whole last year. I cold turkey quit all the pain meds and got kratom, cbd oil and lettuce pills, that helped my pain without addiction or feeling weird. Then I found my knees weren't hurting anymore. I began to walk at the lake track near us every day, just to get out. I still had the protien shake with plain milk every day. Finally I went in for a check up at the doctor and my weight set off alarms, I had lost over a hundred pounds! They gave me tests for everything. My blood pressure was perfect, my cholesterol was perfect, I had no sign of diabetes. I had gone from a size 16 to a size 4. I hadn't even been hungry! The protien shake kept me from craving sugar since it had none, and I just stopped eating a lot. I felt better with a lot less in my stomach. At the lake i walked, feeling light and free for the first time in YEARS. I felt so light i started to run, i never ran, but suddenly, i found i could, it felt better than walking. It didn't hurt my back or neck, my knees felt great, i felt like crying, all this time I had listened to professionals tell me I was too old, too fat and too late to change anything. Through a series of odd events, I found some answers, and a new freedom. I've been running every day ever since. I LOVE IT! I feel like a ten year old. I feel pain free and happy when I run. Some of my childhood has returned in the feelings of hope and possibilities again. I'm training to run barefoot, my feet have strong arches again. Read the book, "Born To Run" and you'll discover how to stay free from injury and healthy without killing yourself or straining to be "perfect". To just enjoy it. If I can do this, at 60, after being told there was no hope, then maybe this will help another person to feel the same. Never, ever give up! Don't stop looking for answers and solutions, even if you are told there aren't any. Look into the healthy diets of people on Crete, dump sugar and snacks and get this powder, start feeling better! It really, really helps you get lighter and healthier without cravings. Take time and change your life a little every day. Every single day you can try again, make another effort, let go of your mistakes and start over, relax and trust that it's truly possible.
