Virta Health 17+

6 months on Virta and counting. very happy with the program. my results in ,so many measures, amazing. BP down no BP meds , No daily insulin injections , no pre meal insulin injections , no invokana , no c pap, no snoring , 25 lbs gone hello 30” jeans. it’s very hard to drop carbs as we all know yet in my weak moments my coach walks me through it and at times carries me thru the storms. my health situation is very ,very complex. the team has to factor diabetes , GI issues , cancer surgery , GI problems and my stubborn Irish personality. they all help so much especially -RH . she is one smart lady. a family member whom is a doctor and professor referred to my accomplishments as ‘ unsustainable ‘ at 3 months. i’ve taken this to heart. and i worked harder work out more and eat better. it’s great motivation when someone so smart sitting on such a high high pedestal doubts me or my resolve. the alternative is going back on pens and pills and circling the drain with my health . ah NO!

Never thought a Keto diet was the way to go, but now that I am using the Virta plan, I understand the benefits of changing out the fuel source from sugars (carbohydrates) to fats . The benefits I have received is mental clarity, increased energy, weight loss with a diminished sense of feeling hungry, therefore eating only twice daily. Additionally, inches are lost and clothing fits better and I’m able to move easier. WIN, WIN,WIN!! You are monitored by a team of health professionals, including a doctor and a coach assigned to you, 7 days a week. You also receive support through the Virta community online where you can pick each others brains for suggestions for menus and recipes, support with ‘hanging in there’, coping, travel suggestions, and whatever! Like I said at the top, this is a lifestyle change, and, with the information available to you and the support, ‘you can do it’!

I began the Virta program in January of 2021 as it was provided as part of my health plan. If you commit to the program as a forever life style change and not a new fangled diet, you will permanently change your life. I have stuck tp the program because I saw it as a life style change. Within the first few month’s I came off two of the four diabetic medications I was on that include the one insulin based medication. Weight started dropping off immediately based on proper food intake only. To date, I’ve lost almost 50 pounds and at or very near the target weight for my height. I can’t say enough about the program. Try it, embrace it and you to can change your life.
