No pain no gain. Shortcuts is not the ideal way. It isn’t wise to go crazy about weight statistics alone, the goal should be a sustainable healthy lifestyle and exercise should be embedded in it. Holly’s program is practical and enjoyable. I enjoy your videos on site – feel connected although I’m halfway around the globe from you.I’ve read umpteen sites and was never convinced enough. Yours is the first site i was willing to consider -My first ever transaction on a website was for FYM. My husband was quite surprised! Now it’s me showing him the proper way to do squats and push-ups!

Hi Holly
Very interesting article. The only good way to lose weight is a healthy eating plan and exercise. I refuse to take any funny pills to try to lose weight. I am losing weight very slowly, but I enjoy it leading a healthy lifestyle. There are no magic pills. Eat healthy, exercise and you will feel like a new person.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

I just read some scary details on the scams they are using, on this site – buyacaiberryselect.com, it’s scary and outrageous, why the authorities are not doing anything about it?

Holly,
I read your emails everyday and I find your girls and their stories truly inspiring. They deserve more than looking fantastic for all their efforts. I love your yummy mummy plan and recommend it to everyone.

Hi Holly,

I would like to chime in as well regarding the Acai and Total Cleanse scam. Not only did the pills I order not show up in the mail, but I didn’t read all that fine print until after I put the order through. I printed the receipt and though okay, I’ll give them 10 days and then cancel (which was how long the free trial was for.) So I tried calling to cancel my order last night and surprise surprise the phone line either did not ring or instantly disconnected me. The credit card company gave me another number listed next to the charge on my bill and had the same problem. She told me to email them my cancellation in order to have something in writing later on down the road if I start seeing more charges on my card. This will help when trying to prove that I cancelled within the time period required. I haven’t heard back from them, but hopefully I will. I must say I feel stupid now trying to lose some extra weight this way and will just stick to the Yummy Mummy plan.

Holly, thanks once again for exposing the ugly diet lies out there. Fit Yummy Mummy is the ONLY way & the fact that you are so honest & open with all your members, gives the programme even more credibility. Thank you !

Whoa – that is crazy Holly! FYI – I just found out that the company who sells that product has a CPA offer for affiliates. So what’s happening is that all these affiliates are jumping on this program to make money because apparently that company pays out $27 per form filled out – the person doesn’t even have to buy the product in order for the affiliate to get paid. I’m guessing they pay so well since they are unethical themselves in that they are charging people without them knowing.

There are a LOT of money-hungry, unethical affiliates out there and I’m so sorry to hear that some are stealing photos from your site. It’s happened to me too (not for this particular program), but what I ended up doing was watermarking all my photos with our website logo. That way if they want to steal, then they’ll have to promote my website!

Anyway, great job with everything! The results your clients are getting are awesome and REAL!

I am a holistic nutritionist and work in a health food store where we have been selling Acai capsules and juice for well over 2 years now. All it takes is a simple plug from Oprah to send the Universe into a tailspin to go shopping for the latest weight loss product. All people need to do is see how Oprah’s weight fluctuates so often to realize there is no quick fix. As we all know it comes down to a well balanced diet, exercise and a good nights sleep. Acai is just a good antioxidant that can help with many things but weight loss is not one of them. It will help rid your body of toxins but so will Goji juice, Noni juice or Mangosteen. It’s just a small piece of a large puzzle.

Good luck to everyone trying to achieve their goals.
