I've been working with My Body Tutor (MBT) for five months, and it's truly made a difference. My Body Tutor always has the right advice, offering practical solutions that fit me perfectly. It’s not just another generic “eat this, don’t eat that” program – it’s specific to me.
It all began with an extensive questionnaire so MBT could match me with the perfect tutor, Micki. I couldn’t have imagined a better fit—Micki understands my needs, way of thinking, and past experiences in a way that makes the process feel tailored specifically for me. Like many, I’ve tried countless diets, and over the years, I’ve lost and gained about the same 25 pounds multiple times. Those programs only worked while I was on them, and I’d slip back into old patterns soon after, regaining the weight. None of them helped me get to the very specific answers I needed like Micki has. Regular videos and email posts from Adam help lead me and help me think about food and my response, and that is only the beginning!
Each week, Micki and I dive into what’s working and what isn’t. Through texts and emails filled with pointed information throughout the week, she responds to our excellent phone conversations and my eating diary that is connected to her. I am not embarrassed when I eat too much or pig out on sweets.
When I overeat or have a bad week, it’s not about shame; it’s about figuring out why that happened. Instead of the usual “just have more willpower” or “hide the food,” Micki and I look at the whole picture. Maybe I missed a meal, didn’t eat enough protein, or lacked healthy fats at breakfast. Each “slip” is a chance to learn something new and set a very specific goal for the following week.
For example, I love spending time with my grandchildren, but after a busy day of taking care of them, I’d find myself unwinding in front of the TV with a treat that turned into multiple days’ worth of indulgence! Micki helped me realize that it wasn’t just about the food—it was my way of rewarding myself for a fulfilling but exhausting day. So, we worked together to find ways to manage that end-of-day energy crash, and now I know how to satisfy my needs in a healthier way and one that I truly like even better!
One of the biggest changes has been my deeper connection to food and how my body responds to how I take care of it. I’ve learned to listen to what my body needs and understand that eating well throughout the day keeps my cravings in check and my energy levels steady. Micki has helped me see that food isn’t just fuel; it’s also tied to my emotions and how I feel physically. Now, instead of fighting cravings, I feel more in tune with my body’s needs, and I can make choices that satisfy me both physically and emotionally.
Even when a solution only worked temporarily, it was still a learning experience. Every time I hit a roadblock or fell back into an old pattern, it wasn’t a failure—it just led us to the next step. Micki always had another idea or tool for me to try. Over time, these small steps added up, and I now feel equipped to handle whatever comes my way, not with more willpower but with a deeper understanding of my physical and emotional needs throughout the day.
I’ve already lost half of the weight toward my goal, and I continue to lose weight at a slow, steady pace—which is perfect for me because I’m not actively trying to lose weight. Instead, I’m focused on managing my eating habits and lifestyle, and the weight is naturally coming off. I feel confident that I’ll reach my goal weight soon.
The changes have been subtle, but they’ve been exactly what I needed and have added up in a real way that have made a big difference. This program feels like the last “diet” I’ll ever need because it’s not just a diet—it’s a personalized plan that fits my life
