Testimonials
Here are a couple of testimonials from Boot Camp graduates (you can find more on the Boot Camp page).
”I have been at the same weight for 6 yrs. and definitely knew I wasn’t doing something right. I wanted to be healthy and reach an ideal weight for health reasons. When I started the Boot Camp my ultimate goal was not to give up after a few days, and eat healthy no matter what.
Elena is an excellent teacher. Her materials are so easy to follow and her recipes are amazing. The boot camp support group on Facebook is the best—you relate with so many people going through the same things as you—it’s like a family. Elena always writes back to any queries even with her busy schedule (she’s a new mom).
Personal contact with Elena was more than helpful. It was the greatest motivation to have her believe in us and make us believe in us. I’m telling you it’s like a personal fitness and nutrition trainer. You can even vent on other things, that’s how wonderful the Facebook group is, so if you are having a bad day it gets better not worse, thanks to her and all the new friends.
By the end of 30 days I have achieved my goals. My weight has never moved… until now. In one month I have lost 10 lbs, and 55″ overall. I also don’t feel tired that easily anymore. I used to have knee pain which has kind of disappeared, and I am eating less now. Lots of extra flesh on my face is gone and also from my waist.”

”I joined Boot Camp to get off my thyroid medication, get healthier, lose weight and keep it off for a change. Also want to have more energy, look and feel vibrant.
It was very easy for me to follow the diet. I had already been cleaning up my diet for years and had been taking Juice Plus almost 3 years but knew I needed to take my health to the next level if I wanted to get off the medication I was on for thyroid as well as lose weight. Manuals were easy to understand.
Having support was very important. I knew that if I was in a store looking for something & had a question I could put it on Facebook or email & get an answer usually pretty quick. Also lived the Skype calls. That helped me see that others just like me struggle w/ the same stuff!
I at first thought I was going to slowly back off my thyroid meds but decided to just go cold turkey, having talked to my doctor. The more I read about it all the harder it became to put the ‘poison’ into my body. After the first month I lost 9.5 pounds, 23.75 inches; I have more energy, overall feel better, stopped taking my thyroid medication.
Later I decided to re-enroll for another two months to get my thyroid in balance. The manuals and recipes were great and easy to follow. Recipes were easy to cook. Elena is great support–a wealth of information. The calls are informative and supportive as well! Access to Elena is great for support and for answering questions. She usually answers very quickly.
By the end of the third month my thyroid is now normal. I have lost almost 20 pounds and around 35 inches!”
