A 29-Year-Old Body At 50

John Lane of San Ramon, California, received a frightening wake-up call from his doctor during a routine physical the year he turned 47. “My doctor said, ‘You’re obese, your cholesterol and blood pressure are high and if you don’t make some changes, you’re taking your life in your own hands.’”

John’s father had died when he was 49 and John knew he had to take the doctor’s advice to heart. “I refused to go on drugs, and the Monday before Thanksgiving 2005 I started a new lifestyle,” he says.

At 6’2” and weighing 250 pounds, John joined a gym and began living on fruits, vegetables and oatmeal. At his next doctor’s visit, he had lost 45 pounds, but his cholesterol had gone up. “When I learned about the Slimplicity® program, I was eager to give it a try,” he says. “Within six months, I lost another 10 pounds and even better, my blood pressure and cholesterol had improved”.

John says the combination of the Slimplicity program, Reliv’s other nutritional products, diet and exercise has him in the best shape he’s been in since he was 29. “My goal is to lose about 10 more pounds to reach my ideal weight, and with Slimplicity I know that I will,” he says. “At 50, I don’t have huge variances in my weight; I have terrific energy and feel great. I look forward to 50 more great years with Reliv!”
