BREAK YOUR WEIGHT-LOSS PLATEAU

You know that euphoric success you can see at the start of a new diet...before it fades and forces you to give up? No wonder 76% of low-carb dieters quit after 3 months. But metabolic health coach Kim Howerton found a way to harness the early magic over and over again to finally crack her weight-loss code in her 40s. Here, how to use diet cycles to blast plateaus and see unprecedented results!

Many of us feel like we were born with a bad metabolism. But Kim Howerton had proof when the technician running her metabolic testing told her she had one of the lowest metabolic rates they'd ever seen.

Over the years, pounds and problems piled up for Kim: bad knee pain, migraines, prediabetes, high liver enzymes, low thyroid, PCOS, depression. “I became aware that my weight could kill me.”

Desperate to save her life, Kim knew she needed to find a new way to eat that would be sustainable—not like old strict plans. She heard an expert talk about eating low-carb so she gave it a try. "Weight started to come off really well," says Kim, who dropped 40 pounds in the first 4 months. But an even bigger breakthrough was just around the corner...

First, Kim hit a plateau. Weight wouldn't budge. "I felt completely betrayed. I was told keto would fix me. I didn't know what was going on."
