The Quick Fix
I get so annoyed whenever I see a diet pill or quick fix commercial! These commercials are specifically targeted towards America’s obsession to lose weight fast. You didn’t get overweight overnight so you certainly aren’t going to lose it overnight. A healthy weight loss is 1 to 2 pounds per week.
$14 Billion is spent by American’s each year on diet pills! That is crazy! So you know with that kind of revenue these quick fix companies are not about to pull their products off the shelf over a small thing like making the consumer very unhealthy.
Did you know that 99% of diet pills are not regulated by the FDA? So how do we know what is safe and what claims are accurate. Most companies have “scientific tested” products but take a closer look at who are these scientists. 9 times out of 10 they are the companies hired scientist. So of course they are going to promote the product (they aren’t going to get paid if they go against the company). This is one of the major reasons I like Shaklee products. They are independently tested and blind tested (meaning no one knows who is getting placebos or the real thing).
YOU DON’T NEED DIET PILLS TO MAKE YOU LOSE WEIGHT! Did you ever read the fine print at the bottom of these commercials? It usually says something like “effective when combined with exercise and healthy eating”. So why waste your money on a pill that you could get the same results without taking the pill?!
Yes, exercise and eating healthy is the secret to losing weight. That’s it. No magical pill. Just hard work and determination that you can succeed is all you need. Stop investing in quick fix schemes and diet pills and starts investing in yourself you are worth it!

“I knew I had made the right decision”
Six weeks ago I started the SHAPE Method Program with Nicole Simonin. I had my fourth baby in October and had slowly been working towards regaining my pre-pregnancy feeling of wellness and strength. I had gotten back into the habit of regular cardiovascular exercise and making smarter food choices on my own, but I always hit a wall when it comes to strength building exercise. I knew I needed some motivation and guidance to get myself on the right track and I knew from prior experience with Nicole that she would be able to provide the support I needed.
Three weeks into the program I knew I had made the right decision. I was beginning to feel stronger and more confident. My children were starting to talk about “Strong Mommy”. I enjoyed getting outside and spending time in the fresh air with other strong and empowered women. I would sometimes get tired and there were many days when I did not feel like getting everyone [her 4 kids] out the door to get to class on time, but once I was there the other class participants would provide words of encouragement and wisdom and I always left class feeling energized and ready to take on the rest of my day with a positive attitude.
Now, after six weeks in the program, I am excited to continue on to Phase Two. I look forward to the workouts. I can feel my own energy and strength increase during the class. I am almost back to my pre-pregnancy self. I feel healthy and well and am looking forward to the next six weeks! I hope to keep up the workouts. They provide a balance to my routine and keep me interested in my path to wellness.~ Tara Kern
