My program will be effective no matter how much or how little you want to lose. Often, people who don’t appear to have a lot of weight to lose still have an unhealthy relationship with food. The program is effective in helping you create a healthier relationship with food, and helps put food in the proper perspective in your life, which will lead to sustained weight loss.

It is always advisable to consult your doctor before beginning any dietary change, weight loss or exercise program, particularly if you have special medical needs. The Dee’s Weight Solution ™ package contains information to help your doctor understand what this program requires, and it will help them to assess if you have any special requirements in order for you to follow this program.

Yes, my programs are doctor-approved and endorsed. Many doctors refer their patients to me. I have also taught many, many doctors who came to me as clients. My programs not only get results, but they are healthy, safe and can easily be maintained as a lifestyle. I teach my 8 week workshop at the Cleveland Clinic Center for Integrative Medicine.

I am assuming you have tried many diets. Diets don’t work. If they did all you would need is one. My program is a lifestyle. It’s safe and most importantly, it will work for you as it has worked for literally thousands of others who I have coached through this journey.

I get asked this question all the time. No, you don’t have to exercise to lose weight, but you will lose weight much faster if you become more active and exercise. However, you will not be able to maintain your weight loss without routine exercise.
My program helps you with this issue, for exercise is important for your physical, mental and emotional health.

In my program I teach you how to tell the difference between physical body hunger which requires food to fuel the body, and emotional hunger, which cannot be satisfied with food. Emotional hunger needs to be “fed” with those things which lift the person’s spirit and makes them personally feel good about themselves. In my programs, I teach people how to satisfy emotional hunger by taking better care of themselves physically, emotionally, and spiritually by identifying and then doing those activities which will make them feel good.

If you are eating because you are tired, bored, lonely, angry, feel rejected, happy, celebrating, because everyone is eating, because its time, it’s there, you pass the refrigerator, you worked too hard, you didn’t work hard enough…you are feeding an emotional hunger. Food will never make emotional hunger go away. My program will teach you how to take care of yourself when not physically hungry, without using food. I call the things that ‘feed” emotional hunger “life –enhancers” which will put balance in your life.

There are no special foods. You will end the traditional diet cycle of deprivation and then binge caused by a diet mentality and learn how you can eat the foods you want and love for the rest of your life. You will learn how the body was designed to eat these foods, and eat food only to satisfy the body’s need for fuel, or to satisfy physical body hunger. Then, when you do eat, you will immediately burn what you eat, instead of storing it as excess weight.

In Dee’s Weight Solution ™, I will help you recognize the differences between the mentality of a personal who does not have a weight issue, and the mentality of someone who has had a history of dieting. By helping you to unlock the secrets of a thin mentality, and providing you tools to develop those habits, I will help you achieve a healthier and happier thinner you.

The pace at which you will lose weight is very individual, and you must keep in mind that unlike your experience with previous diets, the goal is consistent and sustained weight loss. You will continue to know you are losing weight by the way your clothes feel, and as the tools and techniques become your new habits and lifestyle, you will move from a diet mentality to a thin mentality.

Yes. Because the method you will learn has no deprivation or inconvenience, it will become your lifestyle. It is the way your body was designed to eat and it will be easy for you to maintain the weight loss, as long as you follow what I teach you and continue at an increased activity level.

Most people who take my program have a history of the "stuff, starve, lose, gain" experience of many diets that have worked initially, but failed once the person went off the diet. Often, this resulted in the person gaining back more weight than they had lost! My proven tools and methods are different, and have helped literally thousands of my clients jump off the dieting roller coaster which has contributed to their weight issues.

An average woman in good health that follows my program can expect a minimum of 1-1/2 pounds of weight loss per week without dieting. Men can typically lose up to 3 pounds per week. This varies tremendously with the individual, but following my programs will allow you to “melt” at a healthy rate.
