"What happened to the patient in 402?" asked nurse practitioner Laurie Osborne, getting ready for her shift at a Nevada hospital.

She lost 101 lbs at age 60!

Laurie's 'blue drink' trick helps burn fat so fast after menopause, women drop up to 16 lbs a week*

Laurie's co-worker shook her head. Laurie found the woman's chart and read that she'd developed a blood clot and didn't make it. That's another one, Laurie realized. She'd seen too many people pass away recently who were about her own age...and about her weight. If they're heavy, they end up with complications and die when they shouldn't. She paused. If Laurie wasn't more careful, she'd be next. Her thoughts drifted to her husband, son and granddaughter. Then she glanced around at people waiting for her help. I want to stick around as long as I can, she realized. I have to protect myself.

Carrying nearly 300 pounds on her 5'6" frame meant 12-hour shifts were brutal for Laurie, and especially for her knees. But as she drove home, she ignored her pain and fatigue and tried to make a plan. She knew her biggest hurdle: When she got stressed, she couldn’t resist fast food, chips and ice cream. And there was no way to get stress out of her life. Plus, diets made her more tense. The weighing, measuring and tracking— it drives me crazy. So what was the solution?

Gradually, a few ideas pushed through Laurie’s fog of exhaustion: I can cut out processed food and snacks. I can get more fruit and vegetables. I’ ll go easy on red meat. She mulled a bit. I can handle that, and it might be enough to get my blood pressure and blood sugar down. Taking the stress out of losing weight was the one thing Laurie had never tried.

Have a cup of cottage cheese an hour before meals, and you'll automatically eat hundreds fewer calories a day.” You'll also jolt your metabolism! One new study found women getting at least 30 grams of dairy protein a day—the amount in 1% cups of cottage cheese—burn three times more fat than women on the same basic diet with no dairy. Texas mom Jen Witherspoon, 47, says the effect was powerful enough to help her lose 104 pounds! Read on for Jen’s inspiring story and to learn how protein-rich cottage cheese might help you.
