On this Fit at Five we are featuring a success story, but this story doesn't have to do just with weight loss. It's the success story of a business that was created in Lewiston Maine, and has quickly grown to helping people change their lives in sixteen states. One pound at a time.
Mend A Body Solutions is the result of a mother daughter team brainstorming on what was missing from other weight loss programs. Debra Ann St. Hilaire found that the successful weight loss programs that she was drawn to were mostly MD based.
"Some of the things that I learned from I just thought...that's the missing piece. That's what people don't get. It's too scientific. We have to make it fun."
Their program follows an anti-inflammatory low glycemic diet, and follows a three pronged approach. The first being supplements that they carry on their website. The second being the coach support which is different from just your weekly visits with other programs. With Mend A Body your coach is available to you 24 hours a day 7 days a week for support. Last that prong is the nutrition portion. They offer a grocery list of alternative items for people. Ashley St. Hilaire has also been able to incorporate her studies in nutrition to create some delicious recipes.
The purpose of Mend A Body is to take nutrition back to what people did hundreds of years ago, and to add a support system. With the resources provided people will be able to find weight loss success, but not treat the program as a diet. The goal is that this will create a lifestyle for people that they can maintain down the road.
