I think Brandi's approach is awesome. I love how real she is. Relatable. My most favorite thing about this reset is how it didn't feel like a diet. I watched my fiancé struggle with logging everything, managing his macros, being HUNGRY.I love how long I can go between meals. Getting in tune with my hunger and satiety feels empowering. I'm excited to continue this new way of eating and experiencing my health change! Thanks Brandi!
Brandi is the bomb! She says it like it is and has information to back it up. She's down to earth, funny and easy to relate to. I like the holistic of her training, it's not just food or exercise, it goes deeper. Food, sleep, mindset, light, screen time and gratitude. It all plays together and once you 'unlearn' some of your habits, it's so easy and just part of my day. I've always loved breakfast, but now I LOVE my Break Fast!! Thank you.
I really enjoyed the entire reset. Each week taught me something new, brought me new insight and just helped me feel normal again. It shouldn't be hard to sleep, eat and exercise. It should he effortless. I know some of these things will take time and practice, and not everything will be the right fit for me or my life. But overall, I'm so so happy with all the tools and resources I've gained along the way. I feel empowered! Well worth the $125! Thanks for being such an amazing, inspiring, no nonsense bad ass Brandi!
I learned so much which caused me to make many behavior changes. Thinking about my health, not only food but movement, sunlight, sleep. I picked up on how we can live our lives with ease and this doesn't have to be hard.
The Reset has been the most transformation program I've completed to date. I love the break down of food, the whys and why nots and real life examples shared by Brandi and other reseters. I also love ALL the other ELEMENTS, sleep, movement, sunlight that are so important to living and feeling my best. It is something I plan to repeat as I think I just scratched the surface with this first Reset. Thanks for opening my eyes to this very functional and realistic way of living life while managing my fuel/nutrition.
Eating less now because I'm focusing on a protein fueled breakfast and listening to my hunger cues, no more eating by the clock. The lack of grains and sugar has led to almost no more inflammation. I obviously had inflammation and didn't even realize it. I had pain in my back, knees, hands and wrists the last couple years. Honestly I contributed it to getting older but in the last 4 weeks all that pain is gone it's been completely mind blowing to me that my diet eliminated so much pain. So happy I joined the Reset!
I am happy I did this! It has changed the way I eat my meals. I now eat when I am hungry and respond with a full meal. This has resulted in less snacks, less junk food and better decisions through the day. I still get to have a treat from time to time, but I know they are considered a treat for a reason. I've gained knowledge that I had no idea about that I was putting into my body daily.
All the changes were broken down into small weekly changes that then layered. So it didn't make it seem like such a big task. I feel that I will be able to continue with the new habits I did form. Like eating. Big protein filled breakfast WHEN I AM HUNGRY! Which is another concept I learned and focused in on. Eating when hungry, who knew! My afternoon slump when away and feel like I have more energy throughout the day!
"Dear Brandi & health family,
I have been working in the fitness/health industry for the past 5 years. I have done every "diet" under the sun to lose weight and keep it off. Most of the time that meant restricting my food A LOT.
I have done fitness competition prep. Had to eat chicken, sweet potato, & broccoli at 5a.m. before my workout to make sure that i was ingesting the "right" thing before my workout. I have lived the life of chicken and lean meats, heavy carbs, low carb, 3oz portion sizes, no sugar or sugar replacement, etc.
I used to be over 200lbs when I started on my fitness journey 7 years ago. This way of restricted eating and thinking worked for me for a long time. In middle school and high school I struggled with a serious eating disorder.. anorexia. After I decided to "change" I gained a significant amount of weight. Then it jumped into chronic exercise. These choices "worked" for a while... until they didn't. When I couldn't handle the food restrictions, I would binge and purge. I looked amazing according to the eyes of others. They couldn't see the things I hid from them. Everyone always said, "Taylor! You look incredible!"
This fueled my behavior and eating disorder. I justified it every way that I could.
Over the last year I have really tried to heal from my behaviors on my own. I always hid this problem from my husband even though I think he always knew deep down and respected my space. We decided that we were going to have a baby and I knew in that moment that I could not do this alone anymore. What I was doing all this time was not working and now I had to think about the development of my hypothetical child and what I wanted that child to see in my behaviors as they grow. I reached out to Brandi & Tim Sheehan because i knew that they loved what they were doing nutritionally. It seemed to be really working for them. For the first time in my entire life.. i got honest about my eating habits to them and to my husband. We all sat around their dining room table and i told my whole story. I didn't know if this would work but I had to try because for the first time in my life, it wasn't about me anymore. I was met with grace, love, and more importantly, a solution to my problem. Over the last 90 days I have detoxed my body from grains, sugar, bad oils, and probably a lot of other toxins in my body causing me to swell and carry tons of water. I learned new recipes, got my energy back, made lifelong friends, found out I was pregnant, and found a new perspective on fitness & nutrition. Since the day I started Primal eating, I have not had a relapse in my food behaviors. I stuck to it and trusted the process. I set goals for myself that I stuck to and really listened and read the content that Brandi sent me. I know now that you don't have to choose between being healthy and have great tasting food. You can have both and be healthy. I don't have to have shame when I eat anything. I can make a choice to eat something outside the primal blueprint SOMETIMES and then hop right back on the wagon because let's face it... once you are detoxed and reset your metabolism its easy! I have battled a long time with food/fitness. I don't have to do that anymore. I have found a new way of living and i could never have done with without Brandi. I don't even think there are any words to express how truly grateful I am for her and primal eating. For the first time in my life... i am free. I can go forward with confidence that my child will never have to watch mom yoyo diet. They can just watch me make wonderful meals and eat until I am full. Workout everyday and live a happy and healthy life. Thank you for all that you are Brandi & Tim"
