Stories from Eric Edmeades’s students

I was able to go off of my blood pressure meds in September and I actually average 117/73 blood pressure reading now, which absolutely thrills me!... I am pain free 98% of the time and I sleep like a baby.

I was a 66-year old (Male) weighing 255 pounds, and the way I almost always felt was heavy, tired, somewhat depressed, just starting to limp from arthritic pain in my right hip, and my mental state was brain fog... I've lost 29 pounds and now have zero arthritic pain, zero heartburn/coughing (I forgot to mention that one), no brain fog as far as I can tell, and confidence I can and will make healthy food choices long after this Quest is over.

I have lost 22 pounds... 3 under what my goal was... My goal? To feel healthy and fit when I have my 75th birthday in September... bring it on!!!! This has been the happiest wake-up call and an education that was way overdue!

Being 75 years old I was experiencing some health issues, such as arthritis and daily sinus issues. All that has disappeared... My taste buds have changed so much that I am sure I won't go back to drinking coffee, eat pizza or have desserts as an example.

Before the wildfit challenge I barely had the energy to walk the dog for 20 minutes, (which only happened after 2 cups of coffee) now I'm straight out of bed and off for a 45minute walk before breakfast... My HbA1c was 7.6 before wildfit and has gone down to 4.8. My doctor has halved my medication and is talking about stopping it completely if I continue like this.

I was living with chronic (terminal) cancer and emphysema. I was extremely low on energy and spent most of my time while out of the house at either doctor's appointments or medical tests... By the end of the program, I was feeling better than I had in 11 years... Today I went line dancing with friends and was whooping it up with energy I haven't felt in so long.

I released 15 lbs, my BMI changed from 25.1 to 22.7 which is a healthier ratio, and in measurements I lost 11.5 inches... The program reveals our core beliefs around food, nourishment and our emotional dependencies to substances.

I was obese, had pre-diabetes, high blood pressure, pain in my hips and knees, bad sleeping pattern (was awake up to 10 times during night) and often felt tired because of that... I am post-diabetic now. I do not take any diabetes medicine. I stopped taking blood pressure tablets and Statins. I lost 23 lbs and 5 inches in waistline... I have gained confidence and I feel like I started a new life!

I lost 12 lbs during the program but more impressive was the 16 inches that I lost overall. Five of them around my stomach.

When I stepped on a scale and saw 251lbs, that was my trigger to do something different and certainly more sustainable... My final weight was 209lbs ( a loss of 42lbs) and although I did not achieve my target goal of 52lbs, I still feel very accomplished and pleased with the body I see in the mirror.

I always struggled to loose weight but this programme allowed me to shed 28lbs. I am 64 and I now back to my weight and size I was at 40... I have lost cravings for sugar and don't do dairy or wheat as I found some intolerances.

I have lost my ten pounds and ten more pounds and I enjoy my food so it is not that I have cut back at all in quantity... Besides the 20+ pounds that I have lost, I have shed 23+ inches and have been 'shopping in my closet' to rediscover clothes I have not worn in quite some time.
