Testimonials
A million thanks wouldn’t be enough !!
Matina has been there from the very start of my weight loss journey and has always kept me on track! No matter how big or little my question was she had the time to answer me and not make me feel like I was bugging her. Her recipes are life savers and made my transition so much easier than I would’ve expected! I can honestly say I wouldn’t be where I am without her. I’m truly thankful for her knowledge and wisdom because she’s spent so many hours researching 🫶🏽 thank you so much Matina
Thank you just doesn’t seem like enough
It started off as 1 handful of chocolate chips. I mean what could it hurt, it was my treat at night. Before I knew it some bad habits came back, not with any other food but with those chocolate chips. That handful became one in the morning and one at night. Wont hurt it’s dark chocolate chips after all and I should get a treat once in a while.
That became into multiple handfuls that I convinced myself weren’t really that much and everything else I was eating was low carb.
I gained 20 lbs
I spoke with Matina we went through my dependency with food, we talked about why I was craving them and what I needed to do. I evaluated and realized that I was eating 50-100 net carbs in chocolate chips that I had excluded from my food journal because … well I was embarrassed.
She told me to stop cold turkey and I did, it was HARD. I replaced them with an alternative but not as good as chocolate chips were, and chocolate chips made me happy, I don’t know why but they did.
She told me that there are chemicals in chocolate that make you feel like that (well in all high carby, sugary foods)
After I stopped for only 2 days I tried chocolate chips again BECAUSE SHE TOLD ME TO.
I realized that even in this short amount of time they seemed too sweet (because remember I was doing everything else low cab)
I realized I was depending on them and just couldn’t have them in my house anymore. They were my weakness. Now as an alternative I have a high-protein chocolate muffin at night and I don’t miss them.
And I’ve lost those 20 lbs
Chocolate chips! … hmmm I guess food journaling and being honest does make a huge difference.
Happier than ever, dont’ miss the chips, found my alternative and can feel good about myself.
I guess I didn’t realize how truly addicting sugar was. I thought people were exaggerating but it’s a slippery slope.
So listen, I’m still embarrassed about it but I’m working on it and I may slip up again but I will always reach out because she truly cares, she absolutely cares.
We cried together, who does that? What stranger that you met over the internet sits on the phone and cries with you and truly understands where you are coming from? Not only that but she has solutions to help because it comes from a place where she was.
Thank you just doesn’t seem like enough.

Matina is the best
Matina has helped me so much. She advocated for me to help me get the surgery I needed . And when I had cravings for certain foods she always gave me alternatives to try. With her help I’ve discovered jicama fries and make jicama salad (potato replacement). She is the most supportive person and has recipes for pretty much anything you may like. Thank you Matina for all you’ve done to help me on my journey. .100lbs gone❤️

Heaven sent
I have been working with Matina for almost a year. I came in to this blind. All I knew was I was going to loose weight, I didn’t know the hard work and dedication that came with it. Not to mentions the ups and downs. To be honest with out Matina I wouldn’t have made it through. She explained everything in a way that Made me excited for my new me! If I was down and lost I could call her even at 10pm and she would be there for me! She put Me, and my health first just like she did with everyone else. I am so glad to have a mentor like her! I can’t wait to see what the next year brings. Thank you Matina for not giving up on me but most Importantly not letting me give up on myself.
PS all her recipes are more then Yummy.

I have struggled with my weight all my life
I have struggled with my weight all my life. All the diets, the disordered eating, etc. I felt hopeless. Then I found Matina’s program and it worked. Not only is she amazing and SO knowledgeable, but she is SO supportive. I could not have done this without her. She never judges, even when you fall off. She is incredibly sincere and just wonderful. I am grateful everyday that I was lucky enough to meet her and work with her. Be ready to do the work, she will meet you where you’re at and help you get to where you want to be.

She is truly an inspiration and I admire her so much ❤️ Thank you Matina! Thank you for helping me take my life back!
I am unstuck for the first time in months.
Thanks to an amazing private consult with Matina Lamackar I am unstuck for the first time in months. All those ” not me” things that stall a person DID stall me. I’m changing my artificial sweeteners to Monk fruit, strictly limiting Atkins treats, not overdoing fats, eating cruciferous veggies in larger amounts, eating more often but less at a time. ONEderland may be here very soon! I’m finally below 205 and not bouncing up and down.
Oh my God Matina is so good
Oh my God Matina is so good that in less than an hour she gave me solid tips to lose my weight and told me to lower my carbs. Above all she told me how to prepare my favorite food and what to substitute things which I was not eating correctly.
Thanks a million, I already feel I am going to lose my weight and will not feel guilty in making wrong food choices.
I love her!!
Matina is the best.. I trule don’t know how she does it. She helps every person and makes sure they understand what is going on and she actually calls us personally!!!! Who does that??? She the process so much better. I love her!!
She is a real treasure.
And then there Matina! Matina is such a wonderful, caring and helpful person. She may be behind the scenes, but you would never know it. She is sooo involved in all our lives. I don’t know how she does it and maintains a life of her own. She answers everyone’s questions and if she’s unsure of or doesn’t know the answer she will find it for you. She’ll provide nutritional information, recipes, etc.. to help us and teach us all so we can be better informed and healthy. She is a real treasure.

This program is very useful and I was pretty worried until Matina walked me thru everything and made me feel at ease. Thanks for your dedication to us patients. It really shows we need more like you.
The first time I spoke to Matina I felt like I had known her my whole life.
I met Matina through a mutual friend. I was told to reach out to her for help. I was about 100 pounds overweight, hypertension, pre diabetic, joint pain, GERD, PCOS, no energy and pretty down in general. I had tried all of the schemes and gimmicks. I even managed to lose 25 pounds on my own….but then it stopped and would fluctuate and I had no idea why and no one, (including a nutritionist) could explain it. I blamed it on the medication I was taking. The first time I spoke to Matina I felt like I had known her my whole life. She was just that easy to talk to. No judgement at all. She explained what my body was doing and why I was not finding success. She helped my tweak my diet and within a month I had lost 16 pounds. I am now down a total of 54 pounds. Matina is always right there with answers to questions, encouraging words or the healthy recipe to her awesome Chocolate Lava Cake when you just need something sweet! She helps to support people from walks of life. Some have had bariatric surgery, some are working to improve health, some just want to look better and paint their own damn toes…..it doesn’t matter where you are starting from, she will meet you where you are and will get you on the right path! BTW – I am now off of all but 1 BP med and my toes look freaking fabulous! Thank you, Matina!
