Q: Isabel, tell us a little a bit about yourself, and what you do.
A: I am a NJ based Holistic Nutritionist and Exercise Specialist. I have a private practice in NJ and when I’m not seeing clients in my office I am writing books, newsletters, articles or speaking on the principles of healthy nutrition for weight loss and disease prevention. Basically, doing my best to communicate what true health is to the world.
Q: Isabel, I just finished your ebook, The Diet Solution, and get the sense of an interesting and diverse background. Can you tell a bit about yourself?
A: The Diet Solution Program is really a culmination of my search for answers to my own weight loss and health problems. I can remember going on my first “diet” in the 7th grade. You name the diet and I tried it. Not until I found the true answers to weight loss and how to keep it off was I able to finally reach my own ideal weight and level of health that I enjoy today.
It was also my mother’s and my grandmother’s struggle with obesity and type 2 Diabetes that led me to research how blood sugar affects our ability to lose and gain fat. As I studied Diabetes more and more, I found that the same principles that could be used to control a diabetic’s blood sugar were the same principles that all people needed to use to lose fat and keep it off. Once I figured this out, I was almost amazed at how easy the answer was the whole time and couldn’t believe all of the past unhealthy plans I had attempted with no success.
Q: How did you happen to get into the Nutrition industry? What were the deciding factors?
A: As I continued to work on my own health and weight struggles, I became fascinated by the human body. I was truly amazed by the discoveries I had made in regards to weight loss and blood sugar control and could not believe that this information wasn’t main stream. Even worse, I could not believe that doctors and food companies were actually recommending the exact opposite of the information that I had discovered to be the only way to lose weight. This led me to be as passionate as I am now about communicating this exact information to the world.
Q: What was your inspiration for The Diet Solution? Did you follow some other diet or fitness guru’s before your own ideas developed?
A: Writing the Diet Solution Program was inspired by seeing hundreds of clients in my private nutrition practice in New Jersey. All of the nutrition principles that I would teach my clients was a combination of several books, classes and seminars that I had read or attended and grabbed the best principles taught in each. I knew there had to be a way to put all of this great information together in an easy to read, easy to follow program. Don’t get me wrong. Actually putting the information together and laying it out in a way that would be easy to understand by all people was not an easy chore. But once it was complete, it really was a culmination of 15 years of research and study.
Q: Getting into the diet and nutrition industry can have a ton of positive benefits – has there been a downside at all?
A: No, I wouldn’t call it a downside. But I will say that I do encounter a lot of resistance to my not very mainstream ideas. I tell people “If you have been following the same nutrition and diet principles with no results, isn’t it time to take a new approach?” When people see the kind of results my clients get, they realize that a new approach may be the only way they will successfully lose weight.
I battled my own weight since I was a teenager and through my own mistakes and struggles, I found the only way to really lose weight and keep it off was through a natural foods approach. And by no means does that mean a tasteless, bland food approach. I mean the stuff good ol’ Mother Nature provided us with in their delicious forms.
About The Diet Solution Program…
Q: people need is another “diet program.” How is your nutrition program
different and who would be a perfect candidate for your
nutrition program?A: My nutrition program is the best way and the only way
most people should be eating. It is not some crazy fad diet,
nor is it some extreme crash diet. It is how everyone should
be eating on a daily basis, as mother-nature intended.
What most people don’t realize is, if we ate they way our ancestors
ate centuries ago, we would all be lean and healthy. It is
the over-commercialized and toxic processed foods in our
countries that are keeping everyone so overweight and unhealthy.
Does it really seem healthy to sign up for a diet program
that makes you buy their food and only their food? Or to
nourish your body with fake powders and bars? That’s really
not how are bodies were designed.
Q: It looks like the ebook is getting great reviews – what has been the response so far?
A: The response has been incredibly positive. People have been emailing me and telling me what an eye opening experience it has been for them.
They also just couldn’t believe how simple weight loss could really be with all the right tools and information on hand. After the first 2 weeks, people tell me they have lost weight that they have been struggling with for years. I get an overwhelming amount of ‘thank you’ notes in my email inbox everyday.
Q: What is the biggest benefit of following your nutrition
program and does it come with meal recipes and meal plans?
A: The biggest benefit of my nutrition program is that it is
made up of all real food. It also recommends that you eat
good healthy portions of food and that you should NEVER be
hungry. If you are walking around hungry, you are doing
something wrong. You are most likely starving your body of
the nutrients and whole foods it needs.
I have done all the hard work for you. I have put together
all of the healthy principles into easy to follow meal plans,
no matter what your starting point is. I have also included
61 of my favorite meal recipes so that you can always keep
your nutrition program delicious.
Q: Why did you decide to write The Diet Solution Program
when there is more than enough nutrition info out there?
A: I decided to write the Diet Solution for that exact
reason. People are being bombarded with nutrition information
and either one of two things is happening: They are either
being grossly misinformed with information that is the complete
opposite of what is the truth or they are so overwhelmed with
all of the good information and they just don’t know where
to start.
What I did with The Diet Solution was take all of
the BEST information out on the market today and compiled it
in an easy to understand, easy to read and easy to implement
program. Basically, took the best of the best and saved my
readers hundreds of hours and hundreds of dollars in research
and trial and error.
Q: Any exciting new plans for the future?
A: Of course. We are now in the process of recording The Diet Solution Program as an audio program so that you can listen to the entire book in the car or on the go.
I am also in the process of putting together The Diet Solution for Children and The Diet Solution for Diabetes. Lots and lots of exciting projects in the works.
