How do you lose 11 lbs in 3 weeks? With Slim & Strong!
For the December Slim & Strong session I offered a 3-week long course. The morning group met 4x a week and the evening group 3x a week. A lot of participants did very well, despite the many holiday parties and increased work load that comes with the end of year. What you may find interesting is that the participants that did 4 workouts a week did no better than the participants that did 3 workouts a week. I always preach to you that the body fat loss is directly linked to your diet and no amount of exercise can undo poor eating habits. The big winners of December really put their mind to cleaning up their act. And, interestingly, the top 2 winners took Slim & Strong for the first time. Goes to show you how motivating a new lifestyle is.
Our first place winner, Yakaira, lost 10.6 lbs in 3 weeks. That’s a lot of weight and the great news is she lost mostly fat and only a little muscle. When I asked what made the difference in the past 3 weeks, she said that she put to use all she learned in my nutrition workshop and stopped eating “like a Dominican”. She used to eat rice, potatoes and spaghetti all together in one meal, so it’s not surprising that once she substituted the starches with vegetables that the weight just dropped off her.
Here are her before and after pictures:
1st Place: Yakaira
Weight loss: 10.6 lbs
Body fat loss: 2.3%
Muscle lost: 2.3 lbs or 1.9%
Pure fat lost: 8.3 lbs!
Enjoy the $200 shopping spree!
The 2nd place goes to Sumayyah
She was so dedicated to making every workout. When she missed a morning workout, she would come in the evenings. And, she also cleaned up her diet from the get-go. She eliminated starches and ate lean proteins paired with veggies. The result: 9 lbs in 3 weeks. That shows. Take a look at Sumayyah’s posture as well!
Weight loss: 8.7 lbs
Body fat loss: .4%
Muscle lost: 4.9 lbs or 4.1%
Pure fat lost: 3.8 lbs

Another 2nd place goes to Elizabeth, who has been taking Slim & Strong on and off for years. She has steadily been dropping the pounds and looks great.
Weight loss: 5.2 lbs
Body fat loss: 1.7%
Muscle lost: .76 lbs
Pure fat lost 4.4 lbs
The 3rd prize goes to Mary. Mary, a mother of 4 (yes, we can’t believe that either), has been devoted to working out as hard as she can. Despite the fact that she has a long commute from Staten Island and has 4 kids and a full-time job, she makes the time and shows up every day. She drinks her NutriBullet drinks and does the best squat
Here she is. We don’t have a ‘before’ picture, but she looked just as great before.
Weight loss: 4 lbs
Body fat loss: 2.4%
.2 lbs of muscle lost
Pure fat lost: 3.4 lbs
