Before participating in GIA180, I had tried almost everything to lose weight on my own, but it wasn’t ever enough; I needed someone who knew what she was doing to help guide and motivate me along the way—Melissa was (and still is) that person. Being in GIA180 has been a difficult but truly rewarding process for me. It truly allowed me to “flip a switch” on how I looked and approached food while making sure I was getting the support and nutrition I needed along the way. Melissa is one of the best coaches I’ve ever had because she not only holds me accountable for my choices, but she does so in a manner that is reflective, not shameful. This has allowed me to become more mindful and reflective towards my choices while still feeling as though I’m not “missing out”. If you’re on the fence on whether this is the program for you, make the leap—you won’t regret it.

Melissa is a great weight-loss coach, nutritionist, mentor and friend on this journey. She encourages and educates-all without judgement. I’ve lost about 10 lbs per month following the phase 1 protocol. I am pleased with my progress, my energy and the tools I’ve learned from her, enabling me to be successful once I’ve reached my goals to keep this weight from coming back. Thank you, Melissa!!

I used the Ideal Protein weight loss program at GIA. Really good program, easy to follow, and Melissa is the best. She listens and gives suggestions based on your personal needs. I started mid-September and to date have lost close to 40 pounds. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting/needing to lose weight. Good choice of breakfast and lunch foods to keep your hunger satisfied.

Lost 90 lbs with Ideal Protein and actually had fun doing it because I love veggies! Melissa is a great motivator, with seemingly unlimited recipes and ideas to make the plan work for me. I’m so grateful to have found her and this program at GIA.
