Two protocols + sustained maintenance
Hypoglycemia at 19. Congestive heart failure at 22 and 298 lbs. A list of failed diets that includes nearly every name you'd recognize. Then the CWLI Transformation, and 60 lbs gone with two protocols and ongoing maintenance.

Last year she completed our transformation program and lost a total of 43 lbs. A year after completing the program, she reported no weight gain, feeling great, and maintaining her results.
“While I had outstanding and fast weight loss results from Dr. Adkins at the Carolina Weight Loss Institute last year, I was skeptical that I could keep the weight off and maintain my goal weight. Over the years I have tried many weight loss plans and lost weight from them all, but ended up yo-yoing and regaining the weight back. Under Dr. Adkins' care and coaching, and following her maintenance protocol, I have kept my weight off for an entire year! Now, I am working on year no. 2. Carolina Weight Loss Institute has taught me a new way of life: how to eat healthily and to maintain a lean weight! Thank you so very much!”

Lost 42 lbs
In two months
“Before I started the program I was tired all the time, I had no energy and I felt and I know now that I really was fat. When Dr. Adkins told me about the program I was very skeptical. I have tried everything to lose weight before and so I laughed at her and told her I would try it but don't expect me to lose any weight 'cause I'm not. The first benefits I noticed was my energy level and the sleep was even better! I would come home from work and could work in the yard, could do the house work and my husband was amazed and asking me how can I do all that? I lost over 20 lbs the first 30 days. My hair stopped falling out. I made up my mind then that I'll stick to the program no matter what. This is the first time in 10 years I could work in the yard and not have headaches. So far I've lost 42 lbs in two months and I am smaller now than I was when I got married which was 10 years ago.”
