Weight Loss Testimonial

Couple loses a total of 50 lbs in three months!

With diet and exercise a now healthier, happier life is brought to one couple in Reston, VA. The South Beach diet combined with personal training sessions twice a week, and cardio workouts 4-5 times a week resulted in a “total body makeover” for Keith & Kimberly Hartke. Keith lost 30 lbs and dropped two coat sizes (from 42 to 40), Kimberly is down 20 lbs and an amazing 3 dress sizes (from size 10 to size 4).

The couple also committed to a more healthy diet, by moving toward organic, whole foods. They started purchasing from an organic beef and buffalo farm and began ordering wild caught Salmon online, and switched from buying groceries at a conventional grocery store to a whole and organic foods market. They also added vitamins and supplements and fiber and fish/flax oil to their diet.
