I want to let you know about Lyssie Lakatos, a nutritionist who I feel beyond grateful to have met. I have been struggling with weight issues and been to lots of programs, and nutritionists. She is the one that finally helped me. And I mean helped me with my food and weight issues and beyond.

It’s hard to describe in words but I will try. Also, if you ever wanted to talk, I am more than happy to have a conversation about the benefits of working with her. I am pretty savvy about all this weight loss and food issue stuff because I have been around the block about this since in high school. I am now 50 plus.

I was also trained as a psychotherapist who specialized in eating disorders. Since working with Lyssie, not only have I lost weight which I am glad about, but my stress levels, health, confidence, and my overall life feels better.

Simply, she taught me finally how to eat so I now have more energy and I don’t obsess and worry about food and my health. What a relief! She educated me, walked me through food choices, and plans. They were all personalized to suit me.

Lyssie helped me find the vitamins and supplements I needed and worked with my doctors, so I had all the blood tests needed to truly help my health conditions. She worked with me and who I was. She saw me in my entirety, my moods, my lifestyle, my health issues, and my ups and downs. She accepted me. She is totally on my side and rooting for me.

She is totally nonjudgmental, supportive, very smart, knowledgeable, and fun to work with. She really cares. She’s written several books and I learned so much from them and refer to them for recipes and quick reminders.

Not only is she all that but her program allows access to her daily. So I felt supported and less alone. If I had questions I could ask them, I didn’t struggle alone. I feel my life and health has totally changed and the quality of my life is better.

This is the most I have gotten in all my years of working on food issues. I have over the years devoted time and money into programs, but nowhere got what I get with Lyssie.

When I first came, she mentioned it might take a year to make real changes. I doubted I would stick it through, but figured I would try as long as I felt ok doing her program. I figured maybe I would stay a few months.

But I realized she was right. I never felt pressured by her. I need the time to integrate it all. I needed the time to make the changes and solidly make them so they would stick. It’s over a year and I still with her. I keep learning and benefit from her support.

So, I am continuing working with Lyssie means the world to me. I am worth it and she is worth every minute of time and every cent it costs. The reason is because this is my life, and I am worth everything and so are you!
