About Laurie and the Refuse to Diet Philosophy

Women have been told time and time again that it is important to be thin--and at the same time that it is actually difficult to lose weight. I show women who are frustrated with yo-yo dieting, who are tired of feeling bad about themselves, how to gain their health once and for all--without dieting!

I can do this because I have been there.

In my life, I have tried just about every diet there was, starting at age eleven. Just a few short years ago, I was over 300 pounds, tired all the time, unhappy, on anti-depressants and other prescription medications.

I have since dropped over 125 pounds, gained energy and overall health--and I am off all medications. I have been able to take control of my life and no longer suffer from cravings.

I have discovered that pretty much everything we have been taught about dieting is a big fat lie! It is truly possible for everyone to achieve their ideal weight without having to be a slave at the gym or give you their favorite foods forever--as long as you Refuse to Diet!

And in case you are wondering...I am 51 years old, with all the hormonal changes that are happening with that.
