I have been a diabetic since 1986. Even though I have lost weight, the A1C count always seemed to jump up and down and never quite normal. I knew I was doing something wrong and decided to take the plunge. Working with Pam of Body Transformers changed my life. First it was an eye opener as to what I was doing wrong. Basically I had to re-learn what good carbs and bad carbs were. Then I learned how food combinations influenced the body’s reaction. I had to toss those chips and stop drinking diet soda. It really was more than that but I was ready. Amazingly I have lost 17 pounds but even more amazing my A1C count was normal. BEFORE the BT program, my A1C count ran as high as 13..Since the BT program, (4 months,) it is in the 6.2-6.7 range and my cholesterol numbers are PERFECT!!! Wow -to me that was exciting! I will always be a diabetic. I know I am not cured but I am a better eater and much more aware of how foods influence my weight. The weekly sessions were very powerful and motivating for me to stay the course!. Thanks Pam !!

” Excellent meal planning has taught me how to EAT! This is the FIRST time that I have lost 20 pounds and ENJOYED doing it…Whole food cooking has prompted us to continue on this plan now and in the future.
I have enjoyed all of our sessions and hopefully will continue to lose more weight and feel great. Thank-you, Pam, for all of your hard work.

“After many years of struggling with her weight my daughter, 16 came to me and asked if I could help her. There was no doubt what I needed to do. I had to call Pam Oliver at Body Transformers. I also struggled with weight gain, as many women do, after the birth of my children. The Body Transformers Program helped me shed 4 sizes. Using the tools and education from the program I have been able to keep the weight off for over a decade.
So when my beautiful daughter came to me for help it was Pam Oliver and her program I turned too. My daughter started at a size 16. With Hard work and a personalized menu she was able to drop to a 12 within a few months and is now on her way to a 10. My daughter is now more cautious about what she eats and when she eats it, which helps her maintain her weight. (This was all done via internet on bodytransformers.com).
I would strongly recommend The Body Transformers Program to anyone”.

I’ve known Pam Oliver for over 20 years, starting with a weight-loss radio promotion for my on air partner at New England Health and Racquet. When she founded Body Transformers I visited, got some quick advice and lost 15 lbs without even trying. On the afternoon show at WCCC my 2 partners had a weight loss contest using Body Transformers to see who would lose the most. Both lost many, many pounds.
As you may notice, up until then, none of this weight loss involved me. By this time I had Type 2 Diabetes, bad knees, a bad back, a heart condition, bigger and bigger Hawaiian shirts and a doctor that suggested I consider gastric bypass. Well, that’s the last straw; I don’t care if he is a doctor, nobody’s messin’ with my body! I tried a fat fad or 2; I tried to do it myself. Everything worked for a week or 2 then it would all come back plus some. What to do?
I called my friend Pam (who said: “it’s about time you called me!”) I started her program in earnest. She tailored the menus and advice specifically to me, taking into account my health issues and my many (many) favorite foods. I stayed on the program for over a year. I was never hungry, ate all the food I liked and ate very well. (And I saved money on groceries too.) I lost 90 lbs on the program and when I was through, I used the guidelines she gave me to keep going. The weight has stayed off!
I don’t kill myself with exercise, I don’t have to eat sprouts on cracked wheat bread and I’m still at my lowest weight since high school. I’m in better shape than I’ve been in forever, knee and back pain is diminished, glucose under control, don’t get winded walking up stairs, bought a bicycle and ride with my girlfriend, who enjoys all my new vitality even more than I do. Pam is very hands on with advice and encouragement. She always answered all my questions, even the dumb ones, and answered them so even I could understand. It all made perfect sense and worked perfectly. Body Transformers is the only program that not only worked well, but continues to work while I’m off it.
- Thank you Pam!

When I met Pam Oliver earlier this year, I was very disgusted with myself. In the past, I had lost a lot of weight (2003 – 2004). Fast forward to 2008 and I was well on my way to gaining everything back. By the time I was introduced to Pam in March of 2010, I had gained everything back, plus a little more. In August of 2008, I got a divorce and moved into my own apartment. In September of 2009, my job was eliminated and I found myself collecting unemployment with thousands of others. I had a lot going on and my way of dealing with everything was, of course, to eat. Everything and anything – I ate it. Add “adult beverages” to the mix, and I was a mess. My cholesterol was sky high, my weight was sky high, and I was at one of the lowest points of my life that I’ve ever been in.
It is now the middle of November, 2010 and I’m fitting into all the pants that have been hanging in my closet for years. Some are even too big on me! When I started the program, my cholesterol was 292 and my triglycerides were 139. Just 4 MONTHS into the program my cholesterol went down to 213 and triglycerides went down to 89!!! (Incredible! I can only imagine what it is now).
My starting weight was 237. Four months on the plan, down to 205. Now at 175 and still shrinking! My size was 18 – 20. Seven months later, I’m in a 14 and just about a 12. I would hate to think of where I would be now if I hadn’t met Pam. She has been a God-send to me. Her knowledge and patience are amazing. For the first time in my life, I know how to eat! I know what works for ME! I no longer have cravings and I’m confident that I can continue with this new way of eating and the new way I look at food. I talk about Pam to my family and friends all the time. They know she’s the “real thing” because they don’t see me craving sweets all the time and starving myself. Believe me, if my mother approves, you know it’s good!
One of the best things that has come out of the Body Transformers program is that Pam and I have become good friends. Life is changing, as I am now gainfully employed, and the future is looking bright. My self confidence is back. I am so grateful that Pam came into my life when she did. I believe everything happens for a reason – the good, the bad. I can now look back and know that this is the way everything needed to happen in my life to get to where I am now.
Thank You Pam. I appreciate you more than you know.
