Weight Loss and Optimal Health:
How I lost 30 lbs Using the Amazon Herbs
by Julia Stege

I have always struggled with weight since I was a small child. I have gone on numerous diets that resulted in the typical yo-yo up and down weight syndrome. Ultimately my problem was lack of excercise and poor diet, but I didn't have the will-power to make the lasting changes necessary to lose weight and improve my stamina.

By the time I reached my late 30s I knew from experience that I could not just go on a quickie diet and have lasting results. So I started slowly working on my health, gradually making the changes I needed to lose weight and get strong. In 1999 at age 39 I was lucky to meet Kathy Coffey who introduced me to the Rainforest Bioenergetic formulas offered by Amazon Herbs. I decided to get a couple of formulas to take a few times per week when I worked out.

The herbs gave me the initial support I needed to begin an excercise program. I began working out 2ce per week with a trainer at my local gym. I had very achy knees and was pitifully weak. I improved moderately but didn't succeed at losing more than a few lbs during the first year. So I decided to step up my program.

In Spring of 2001 I committed to my health in a new way. I decided to go on the Rainforest Total Health Pak by Amazon Herb Company, and committed to take at least the recommended amount every single day. I also added Recovazon to help with my achey knees, and Warrior to help give my workouts a boost. With the added strength and energy, my workouts improved dramatically.

After 4 months I was able to increase the weights on my legs by 140 lbs, more than 14 times the weight I had used during the previous year! I was also able to increase my workout to 1 hour in the zone several times per week. I lost 5 lbs fairly quickly and improved my radiance. People started to comment on how great I looked and asked what I was doing!

Slowly and steadily as I continued to take the Amazon Herbs, I noticed increasing strength and stamina. I also noticed that quite naturally I changed my diet toward more whole foods, fewer processed foods. I felt as if the herbs were supporting me in improving my habits.

In May of 2002 I started taking a Bikram Yoga class and committed to doing a 60 day challenge -- that's 1.5 hours of strenuous yoga daily for 60 days. I could have never done it without massive doses of Amazon Herbs -- about 25 capsules before each session. I lost about 5 lbs and gained a lot of internal strength. After my 60 day challenge I continued taking yoga 3 or 4 days a week and added in some aerobic training on a treadmill.

By August 2003 I had lost 20 lbs since starting on the Rainforest Health Pak. I committed to increasing my aerobic excercise to 45 minutes in the zone 5 to 6 times weekly and dramatically reducing my intake of starchy carbs and sugars. Though I stopped going to yoga class, I continued yoga stretches on a daily basis. By the time I went to Miami for the 2004 Amazon Herb Summit, I had lost a total of 30 lbs since starting on the Rainforest Health Pak.

In the years that have followed, I have kept to my work out schedule and continue to take the Amazon Herbs daily. I won't lie to you, I still have challenges keeping the weight off. I love sweet foods and carbs, and as a rebel, I like to rail against strict protocols. However, I have kept the first 20 lbs off consistently, have improved my muscle tone to where my knees no longer hurt, my skin looks younger than ever, and I have not had a cold or flu since 1999!

My plan for 2007 is to use the new Amazon Power Shake (available to the public soon.... stay posted) instead of sweets when I have a craving in the mid afternoon. This shake contains herbs that strengthen the muscles, offer extended, grounded energy, and help balance hormones (A necessity at my age with pre-menopause coming around the bend.)

This is not a lose weight quick program, but rather an incredible support for losing weight and gaining health over time. Instead of tricking the body into starving itself like supplements that suppress hunger, the nutrient-rich Amazon Herb formulas cleanse, nourish and balance the body optimally, offering the necessary support to improve daily habits and rid the body of excess. The changes I've made are long term, positive changes that I can maintain over a life time!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE AMAZON HERBS!
