“Thank you for presenting a wonderful program designed for weight loss and spiritual growth and for coaching and motivating me to reach my goals in both of these areas. I learned so much about the science behind the method of fasting from food, how our brain functions and how we can change it, and the amazing benefits of decreasing sugar and white flour in my diet. This all led to permanent weight loss for me. The spiritual component and thought process was so impactful. This was the best Lent I have ever experienced!”

“The benefits of coaching with Beth included a better understanding of the spiritual graces of fasting, and the physical aspects, too, especially at the beginning when I would think this isn’t working for me. When I made the decision to eliminate sugar and flour from my food intake for Lent, I knew I would need a clear understanding of “why” and how to do it. Having the guidance of Beth as a coach with her Catholic professional knowledge, and personal experience, I was encouraged every step of the way. The discussion with other group participants, who I might add were amazing faithful women, was an added blessing. As the weeks of fasting passed, I experienced benefits of clearer thinking and a deeper prayer time with Jesus in Scripture, Mass, and Adoration. The personal and family graces gained in this program were an added blessing as well as the lowering of my cholesterol and weight. I now have a greater appreciation and a smile for the words so often heard from my Mother and the Sisters of St. Francis, at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School, OFFER IT UP!”
