To Whom it Concerns:

I had the privilege of working with Diane Preves over a 2 year period at the Lockheed Martin-Denver sites.  We were searching for a nutrition program to complement our Wellness/Exercise facility.  We offered a few online diet programs, but nothing seemed to contain the educational component that teaches the participants how to look within themselves for the reasons and obstacles that are inhibiting them from losing weight or keeping it off and one that can work with those dealing with weight gain due to disease (diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, etc.) and food allergies (wheat, gluten, etc.)  N.E.W. LIFE has these components and fit what our employees needed.

After sitting in on a few sessions, it was evident that Diane loves what she does and does it well.  She focuses on educating everyone as a group on the proper food choices, food groups, etc. and gets as detailed as discussing blood sugar and diabetes, hyperinsulinemia, fats and triglycerides, emotional eating and disorders, and more.  Diane spends endless hours evaluating each and every food log that is turned in weekly and will tailor her instructions based on each individual’s medical situation, lifestyle, goals, etc., and offers realistic suggestions to overcome their personal obstacles.  She concentrates on getting each person to recognize their struggles and to their surprise, they lose weight and keep it off.

N.E.W. LIFE is not a quick weight loss diet plan.  It is a comprehensive educational journey that teaches each person to recognize their relationship with food and work within their diet limits resulting in long term weight loss and a healthy lifestyle.  I highly recommend the N.E.W. LIFE program.

I am very willing to be available for further questions.  Feel free to call or email me.
