Message from Leanne: Dear Friends, Last month we had our first 10-Day Paleo Blitz and the success stories were astounding. In fact, I lost 10 pounds myself! So Ive decided to do it all over again in September! Weve put together a BRAND NEW set of smoothie and dinner menus all perfectly timed for the fall season. You can click the video below to learn more about the new Blitz, but first I wanted to share the personal story that led to the creation of the program: I know Im not the only one who has ever struggled with my weight. For years, I beat myself up over it and then finally, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in 2005. I was way over 200 pounds, my face was as round as pumpkin, I was depressed and massively unhappy. After a month of medication, I decided to attack the problem head on with a low carb diet and exercise and lost over 50 pounds in a few short months. I wrote about this journey in my book Body Clutter (co-written by Marla Cilley) in 2006. Then the weight started coming back 2 years later. I felt crappy, was losing hair, lost most of my eyebrows and would have to choose between working out or actually working--I couldnt do both. It wasnt until 2009 that I was finally diagnosed with Hashimotos (an autoimmune disease that attacks the thyroid). My antibodies were over 3,000! No wonder I felt so awful. Getting my thyroid under control has taken a lot of work, but I made it and the medication is dialed in, my antibodies are finally way lower. Ive learned a lot on this metabolic road but the biggest thing (after doing the same thing I did before) is that you have to change it up (a lot) to get different results. Keeping things the same, keeps things the same! In other words, what I did before didnt work! And one thing I knew that worked for me was substituting a meal for a protein-rich smoothie. So when our brand new protein (Perfect Paleo Protein), greens (Just Juiced Greens) and fiber product (FiberMender 2.0) came in for me to test, I decided to create a program around them in order to shake things up (ha! pun intended!) And the 10-Day Paleo Blitz was born! We listened to the amazing feedback from the initial 10-Day Blitzers, and weve made this next Blitz even better! The plan costs nothing--we will send it to you when you order your Perfect Paleo Protein. And with our delicious chocolate and vanilla flavors, youll love the taste! (and did I tell you how full they keep you?) Watch the video below to learn more about the 10-Day Paleo Blitz: 10daypaleoblitz/
