Here’s what dieters are saying
Andrea lost 50 pounds and reduced her metabolic age 15 years
I had a life-long journey of being somewhat overweight, and I had been trying for decades to find a diet that would help me. On Dr. Apovian’s Age-Defying Diet, I lost 50 pounds. After being on a zillion other diets, I was finally able to stick to the guidelines of this one. It was such a tremendous help to have everything so laid out. The more I did this program, the better I felt, and the less I craved. I failed so many times before, but this time, things were different. The Age-Defying Diet allowed me to remove the obstacles that previously got in my way.
I’m less worried about future health problems now. Being on it brought both my blood-pressure and my blood sugar down. I also have a much better mindset since starting the diet, and instead of fighting the difficulties of dieting, this diet has helped me conquer them!
I hope to continue with this plan in the future, and thanks to Dr. Apovian, I now have a better set of tools in my toolbox.

After only 4 months, Zia lost 41 pounds and 6 inches around her waist,
and reduced her metabolic age 11 years.
When I went to get my 23rd annual physical, I didn’t realize that it would be a life changing experience. After finding out that my blood pressure was high and my BMI was 40, my doctor referred me to Dr. Apovian’s program at Boston Medical Center. I have seen nutritionists many times before, and I have been on MANY different diets, but nothing like Dr. Apovian’s program. When I’m having a difficult few days, or I see that the scale has not changed in a week, I use Dr. Apovian’s protein smoothies to get back on track. At first, it was very hard for me to believe that something would really work for me because I love food. I am not an anxious eater, a depressed eater, or anything like that. I just love to eat, and for years this held me back. I had to make the decision that I was going to change my life and that’s what Dr. Apovian’s diet allowed me to do.

Robert lost 40 pounds and reduced his metabolic age 8 years
Robert Levine, Sales RepresentativeAfter many years of not being able to lose weight, Dr. Apovian’s diet really helped me turn things around. Her diet has a much more personal approach, and I was able to fit it to my own lifestyle. I felt that the other diets I had tried before weren’t targeted to the individual, but this one is. Before starting her plan, I had pretty unhealthy habits. Dr. Apovian’s diet showed me how important protein is and how increasing your water intake can make a huge difference in maintaining health and losing weight. She taught me so many things that I had not known before.
Being on her plan has helped me with so many other parts of my health, from my joints to my blood pressure, and I just feel better as whole. Plus, when I look in the mirror, I like what I see; the more I lose, the more I push myself. You have to change the way you eat to be successful, and this diet allowed me to be just that!
Connie lost 20 pounds and reduced her metabolic age 10 years
Connie Romano, Retired Director of TransportationI had been a stress-eater. I always went to what was the easiest option, but not necessarily the healthiest one, and this was a habit that was difficult to break. With Dr. Apovian’s diet, I was able to cleanse my body and find the willpower to walk away from harmful foods. I remember recently having cake at a friend’s birthday party, and for the first time, it didn’t taste good to me anymore. If someone had told me I’d one day be able to say no to sweets, I wouldn’t have believed them!
I had tried countless other diets, all of which never lasted. I would go on them, and the second I’d re-introduce a restricted food product, I’d gain the weight right back. They’re not realistic, and they’re not healthy. Dr. Apovian’s diet incorporates realistic ingredients with realistic expectations, and it really works. Prior to following her plan, I had struggled with portion control, but now I know what a healthy meal should look like, and I feel full after eating. Plus, her smoothies are unbelievable! They fill you up. It’s not a gimmick.
Aside from just weight loss, so many other aspects of my life improved. I had been struggling with joint pain for years. I could barely walk up stairs without difficulty. After losing the weight, I see such a difference. Much of dieting is mental, and her diet gets you to a place where you can really be ready to lose the weight and feel confident about yourself. You just feel better. You want to get dressed up. You want to go out. Being on her diet had a domino effect on my body. Losing the weight caused everything else to improve.
It’s working and I’m going to stay on it. This is a diet that you could really live on.
Nikki lost 50 pounds
and reduced her metabolic age 12 years
After dealing with difficult health issues, I had struggled to lose weight for quite some time. I tried many diets and had been to multiple doctors for advice, I also worked with trainers and I was on a very healthy eating plan; but the more I exercised, the more restrictive my diet, the more weight I gained. Nothing made sense, nothing worked for long, until Dr. Apovian’s Age-Defying Diet. Through her plan, I was able to discover what had been stopping me from losing the weight before, and changing that for the better. It was a plan that actually WORKED.
I remember going out to lunch with an old friend who I hadn’t seen in a long time. She took one look at me and said, “I can’t believe the difference.” There is a youthfulness to my appearance now, and I just feel younger! I can play with my grandchildren without getting tired. I just have a completely different energy. When you finally find a diet that works, it’s motivating for you. It puts a spring in your step, and that is exactly what Dr. Apovian’s diet did for me. All of the elements of her diet work really well together, and allowed me to form healthy habits that I will continue to enforce and nurture.
