I was a border line diabetic, had been on and off high blood pressure pills, and had gone to a joint specialist about my right knee and my ankles that bothered me. I love down- hill skiing and have two granddaughters that enjoy it as well. I have always believed the best bonding moments are the ones you enjoy and when those moments turn into days, life can’t be better. On April 9, 2013 I weighed 237.2lbs (107.8 kg). On October 27, 2013 I weighed 180.8lbs (82.2kg).
My knees are fine, my ankles don’t hurt, my blood pressure and sugar levels are excellent and I feel great! My grandchild is only 16. I’m 65 and I’m going to ski with my great grand-kids yet. There are a lot of people that have to look twice when they run into me, because they don’t recognize me. Thanks Jannemé, you did that for me.

I am a 64 year old woman who has Type 2 diabetes and I have just completed the life change diet with Dr. Frouws. I started out at 198 lbs (90kg) and reached my goal weight of 133.2 lbs (60kg). I was able to go off all diabetic medications after 10 days, which I have been on for 13 years. I have not been hungry and found I feel better than I have in years. The eating plan is not hard and gives you lots of choices. The support that I receive from the group is amazing. I find Dr. Frouws to be one of the most compassionate, concerned and professional doctors I have ever dealt with. Judy Ellis

You have to use the scale, follow the allotted grams and you will be a WINNER. We found there was a lot of different food we could have, and really enjoyed all of it. There is no shortage of food when you go out to eat; there is always something we could have on the menu. It is the greatest change of life health plan there is. We started April 9th, 2013. I was 143 lbs (65 kg). Now I weigh 120 lbs (54.5kg). It will be a year soon, and we fluctuate only between 1 and 2 pounds (0.5 to 1kg). We have a pretty skinny town now and with new groups ready to start.

Anne Thornton before the program. Weight: 184lbs (83.6kg). Clothes size 18. “I had difficulty finding a “before” photo of myself, because I used to avoid having pictures taken, or would delete them.”
Anne Thornton after the program. Weight: 122 lbs (55.5kg). She went from clothes size 18 to size 6. Weight lost: 62lbs (28kg). “I have been on a number of diets in my life, and have been “chubby” since childhood. I found this program to be different and more sustainable for a couple of reasons. Firstly, Dr. Frouws was always there for us, and conducted such in-depth research and support to assist us to stay on track and meet our goal. Medical supervision was a great plus, as well as eating real food rather than processed or “packaged” foods. The support in the group was great, not just in the weight loss phase, but also afterwards, to keep us on track. My health has improved, together with my energy and stamina. In addition, with all the information at our fingertips, in the event that I may gain a few pounds during a holiday, it would be easy to lose it again afterwards.

I am an registered nurse who has worked closely with Dr.Frouws. I have witnessed first-hand the benefit and the success of her program in our village.
She has reduced the risk of CVD, and chronic diseases especially diabetes and hypertension with these patients.
I have seen not only the physiological but the psychological changes that come from following this diet. Clients are happy, motivated, supportive, and able to embracing life again.
This program is a lifelong journey to maintain and sustain a healthy existence. We are forever grateful for her desire and commitment to making us a healthier community.

Jannemé, I am so thankful that I was able to join your weight loss program! I was terrified that I would have to go the 5 hours between meals. To my great surprise, this was not a problem! I tried many diets in the past and was never able to drop these last 20 pounds – for over 25 years! The fat around my waist has melted away. Also, my eczema was quite bad before I started and has now cleared up. On maintenance, I have had no problem following the program either. I am totally confident that I will be able to follow this program for life. It is so easy and satisfying. You have taught me some much in 3 months about diet and health.
I am so happy and grateful!! I cannot thank you enough, Jannemé for bringing this program to us…

“This program is a reliable and tested way to lose weight for those who are serious. I can’t think of a person more suited to run this than Dr Frouws, as she is consistently professional, supportive and informative with ongoing valuable information that only enhances the program in order to help people succeed. I would not have done this on my own and extend my thanks to Dr Frouws for her dedication and positive support. You will not be disappointed if you decide to take part.”

I found that the weightloss group has been a great asset for my husband and myself to lose the extra pounds that we have put on over the years. The regular meetings are a great place for everyone to voice their issues and ask questions. My husband has heart and diabetic health problems. He has been on several different meds for them and since losing over 30 pounds has reduced his meds. I have struggled with a weight problem for many years and have been on different diets but I feel this program has been the best for me. I get enough food to eat, I feel great and I can’t wait to see how much more I will lose by the next group meeting. Thanks to Dr. J. Frouws for her understanding and devotion to this program. It means more to us that she took part in the program prior to starting so she would understand how we would be feeling.
