Donna's Diet Diary

Looking forward to swim suit season? Me neither! So when I received an email regarding a Minimus customer losing 40 pounds and 4 dress sizes, I had to know her secret! It inspired me and I hope it inspires you too! Here's her story:

“My husband and I planned a winter cruise. I was about 50 pounds or so heavier than I wanted to be and my husband was about 100 pounds over. Dared each other to lose 25 pounds before the cruise....

We talked with a physician. He advised us to make this a life change, not a diet. Diets never stick.... The physician said to work toward less than 30 grams of fat combined with less than 45 grams of sugar per day. Sounded pretty good to me. Start Date: November 1, 2006.

So we tried. It took hours to grocery shop, just for 2!! Then we realized, we eat out practically every day. And, I travel quite a bit with my work. What to do then? I jumped on the internet and found Minimus.biz.

All the individual servings are wonderful !!!! I discovered that it is much easier to just go ahead and eat out (and we all know that is a great feeling when trying to lose weight.) Ordering shis-ka-bobs, salad with grilled chicken, steamed veggies, just about anything we wanted. The magic was the packets I have been purchasing from you. They have allowed us to enjoy the flavor of anything.

I ALWAYS carry Kraft® Fat Free Ranch Dressing , Kraft® Fat Free Mayonnaise , A1® Steak Sauce ..... All "free" on the life change program. This is what has totally saved us. Yes, Minimus.biz is a lifesaver. We can eat almost what we want. Carrying your products with us allows that. Anything can be made good. Even steamed veggies...add a little Kraft Free Ranch, and good to go.

I have learned that, even when dining professionally or with friends, people really respect the fact that we are trying to lead a healthy lifestyle. Instead of laughing or scoffing, they want to know where we bought the individual packets! It is great!

Long story short, since 11-1-06, I have gone from size 14 to a 6 (size 4 in some jeans), down 40 pounds, and my husband has gone from size 44 to 38, down 50 pounds and almost off the high blood pressure medication. Thanks to you and your products, it has worked and it is really easy.

Try a baked potato with the ranch, steamed veggies with ranch, A-1 on chicken, salad with Kraft Free of your choice, add a grilled chicken breast, good to go! It works and is easy! (Even pretzels dipped in dressing for a snack is good.)

Just waiting for Kraft to put fat free tartar sauce in an individual packet!

Oh, the Kraft® Free Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing is really good! Being able to order small numbers of items is great. It will let you try different things.

It worked for me, and is a life change, not really a diet. I love weighing 137 (at 5'7" tall...)

Thanks to all of you at Minimus.biz!”

Calling All Pet Parents

Do you consider your pet part of the family? Most people do. My Boston Terrier, Bruno, thinks he runs the house and even takes over the bed! The third week of April is Pet ID Week. Collars with tags are a reliable way to identify your pet in the event that they got lost. Your pet’s tag should include their name, your name and address, and a telephone number at the very least. If your pet has a medical problem requiring medication, you should include that on their tag also. In honor of such an important task for pet parents to do, take 5% off Herban Essentials Pet Towelette (for humans) -- use the code HERBANPET5OFF (case sensitive) at checkout. Coupon expires April 30th, 2007.
