I struggled for many years with finding an effective way to lose weight. Fad diets didn't work and were a struggle to stay on. 100% liquid diets weren't realistic. Nor were the expensive shipments of 'boxed meals.' Prepackaged weight loss meals were full of ingredients and chemicals I didn't recognize or didn't want to put in my body. Diet frozen dinners were full of sodium. My health suffered c
omplications of weight such as sleep apnea, asthma, reflux, knee & back pain, and high blood pressure. I spent a year working with a personal trainer (lots of time and money) to lose only 20 pounds IN A YEAR. Nothing worked for me. The last straw was when I developed insulin resistance. Coming from a family of diabetics, I didn't want to go there! I ultimately choose gastric bypass surgery which was the best decision of my life. But for it to be a success long term, I needed to make sure I consumed enough quality protein each day (preferably over 50 grams) which was a struggle to me, as I am on the road frequently and don't carry a stove in my car! Most store protein bars only had anywhere from 2-8 grams of protein, tasted lousy, and were loaded with 10+ grams of sugar and 200 plus calories each. Glorified candy bars! Protein shakes were chalky, and I didn't want to have to mix shakes all the time. I discovered FUEL by Nutrie at a health fair, tasted it, read the label, and realized it was my ideal solution. With 30 grams of hormone-free New Zealand Whey high quality protein, only 2 grams of sugar and 170 calories plus great taste it was perfect! It shows up at my door by the case. It's ready mixed, so I just open the chilled can and go! One or two a day help me reach my protein goals without adding sugar, fat, and excess calories. They're portable, they're natural, and they helped me over weight loss plateaus and help keep me on track for long term success! I can eat normal meals with my husband, I can eat out in a restaurant, and then supplement my daily protein intake with a Fuel or two! Easy breezy! So many people were asking me what I did to lose the weight, so I decided it was time to share my journey, and my discovery of 'Fuel' with them!
