TESTIMONIALS
I first heard about Kendra by watching a friend post on Facebook all the inches she was losing. I signed up with Kendra and I found her to be extremely supportive, quick to respond to emails and extremely encouraging. I enjoy her Facebook page and would often go on there for support / suggestions. When I hit a plateau Kendra even referred to her own coach to seek further education to assist me in goals. I find her to be responsive, caring, respectful (even when leaving out of town, sending emails). I found monetary wise she is more than fair but what I like best is her passion to share her knowledge and give out recipes etcetera. Her passion shows in her lifestyle and her successful clients.

Tips for Success
- Eat first meal within an hour of waking.
- Eat natural, unprocessed whole foods. These foods are used more efficiently by the body and less likely to be stored as fats.
- Eat small meals often. Every 2.5 - 3 hours (5 or 6 times a day). This is the secret to speeding the metabolism, regulating blood sugar, and avoiding unnecessary snacking.
- Measure and weigh everything. Purchase measuring cups and a good kitchen scale.
- Plan ahead! Designate a food preparation day.
- Drink plenty of water, 3 - 4 litres a day. Drinking water helps to decrease appetite, flush toxins, prevents and alleviates fluid retention, increases energy levels and aids in vitamin absorption.
- Take healthy fats (flaxseed or fish oil daily). The body needs healthy fats to rid itself of stored fats. Healthy fats encourage healthy bowl movements and are necessary for vitamin absorption.
- Reward yourself once a week to avoid feeling deprived. Choose one meal each week to reward yourself to something outside your regular clean diet.
- Be active - add activity to everyday living. Take the stairs instead of the elevator, find a parking spot the far away from the door, play with the kids, walk to school instead of driving.
- Schedule your workouts into your day. Do not try to find the time to do them, make the time and schedule your day around them.
- Don't get discouraged and give up - if you have a bad day or week, do not dwell on it. Refocus and start fresh with your next meal; we cannot change the past but can plan for the future.
