I just found out I am a “FAT TRIMMER”!
Before I explain my new found name, let me back up and introduce myself. My name is Susan, I’ve known Emily, a.k.a. Busy Mommy, since the day she was born, she was the first baby I loved, she was the flower girl in my wedding. She is my niece and I am excited to be writing on her blog!

I, like many of you, am a mother, a wife and work part-time outside of the home. My husband and three teens have been very encouraging with this new healthy way of life I am embarking on. They also, have all promised me they are going to support me in any way they can. (Or, as much support a 17, 16 and 14 year old can be!)
I am anxious to share with you how my health transforms over the next three months. I will be following Amway’s Nutrilite Weight Management Program for Fat Trimmers.
Yes, there is that name again “FAT TRIMMER”!
The Nutrilite programs overview makes so much sense! “Many people struggle with long-term successful weight loss because they try a one-size-fits-all or a fad diet. However, a more personalized approach to weight loss offers more opportunity to win at losing. Nutrilite Weight Management Program, which includes a genetic test that helps individuals find their genotype-matched diet, offers weight management plans matched to specific genetic test results.”
It makes sense doesn’t it?
After receiving the test in the mail I followed the directions and swabbed my mouth and sent it away to find out the results. Within a few weeks I had my results!
It was that simple to find out that I am a “FAT TRIMMER”. So what does that mean for me?
I will be following a specific plan designed for my genotype that is lower in fat but full of all the necessary nutrients that I need. Amway has generously equipped me with everything I need: nutritional supplements, daily menus and recipes, meal replacement options, snacks and an eating plan journal. The plans are healthy and well-balanced. The supplements ensure that the body is getting all the necessary vitamins, minerals and nutrients it needs.

On a very personal note, I must confess that I feel like a professional dieter.
Ask me and I have tried it!
A loser on so many of those fad diets and then a real “loser” because I easily gain it all back. Sound familiar?
It’s not easy and I know there are no magic potions out there but for me to find out my genotype and have a weight loss plan designed for me, for a “FAT TRIMMER” is exciting! I tend to gain and carry my extra weight around my middle, chest and, my face always shows the signs of weight gain. My personal goal over the next three months, is to lose 35 pounds. I also plan on incorporating exercise on a regular basis, starting slowly but working my way up to daily exercise. Towards the end of the three months I will be healthier and even more exciting for you, Amway’s Nutrilite will be offering one of you ‘Busy Mommy’ readers an amazing prize to get healthy as well!
For those of you who have struggled like I have, remember you are not alone. Follow along, ask questions and stay tuned as I continue to update you on my progress!
Wishing you a day filled with healthy eating and all the nutrients your body deserves!

I was provided with products samples free in order to do this review. There was no compensation. The opinions expressed are my own and not influenced in any way.
This is the most awful tasting powder in the world. You have to mix it with a smoothie to stand it. I did lose 11 lbs the first week but only 4 lbs the second week. The pills are also terrible but I will keep on trying for 4 more weeks and than have a beautiful pizza. I really would not reccommend this to most people as it will cost you about $100 per week because of Amway’s high prices to pay for their pyramid plans.
Sounds interesting. Lifestyle change and exercise makes the program seem much more effective than ‘diets’. What has been the best part and what has been the most challenging part?
Really would be interested to see your results. Will definitely help to promote the programme to my customers. Will follow your blog.
Nice to read the review. But such tests are not available in India.
I am a “carb reducer”!! I set a goal for 20 pounds during the 12 week program. At the end, I lost 23 pounds, went from a snug size 12 to a size 6. From XL shirts/tops to mediums and some smalls–yay! The best part…I lost 3 1/2 inches on my waist and 3 1/2 in. on my waist. Plus, down from 34.5% body fat to 24.7%.
Having the meal plan, the exercise routine (10 minute workouts!!), and the support of others who have done the plan too are the KEYS to success!!
My best accomplishments after becoming more physically fit– running my first 10K and completing the 100 Push-Up Challenge! (at the beginning I could only do 15 pushups in a row!!)
Set your goals and use the tools! YOU CAN DO IT TOO!!

I’m very excited for you as you embark on this journey to good health. I took the DNA test last year and it came back for me as carb blocker so I knew what do next. My results since march of last year started out at 169lbs and are now down to 135lbs! I followed the recommendations and exercised high met 3x week and it worked.
It is a great program, my mother is also “Fat Trimmer” and she’s been doing it for 3 months; and so far she went from size 16 to 14. If anybody is interested in the program or questions please feel free to contact me from my personalize website http://www.amway.com/diegopineda
I am proud to say that I am partnered with Amway/Nutrilite, when this health information became available to me I was more then excited, personal healthcare starts with you, this is not a diet program, this is a proven genetically tested way of life. I don’t know you but i am proud of you for living healthier.
I am a carb reducer, and 50 lbs later, I can honestly say it still works. You now have the tools to accomplish your goal. Exercise all of those tools, every day.
I too have come across and tried many different diet plans over the years. I am hoping to have a lifetime of success with this lifestyle change! The fact that I have now know my genotype and have an eating plan based on that is the biggest difference I see! Follow along, my reviews will all be upfront and honest! @ Pinay WAHM Blogger:
I’ve come across a lot of plans, diets, programs for weight loss and I know that there are many kinds of procedures and mechanics. What do you think makes the method you chose unique?
I am interested to follow your journey. I hope it works well for you!
I can’t wait to see how this works. I’ve never heard of genotype now I wonder what I am. I have been searching for something healthy to follow glad I ran across this post. Thanks I will keep reading.
Can’t wait to see how this program works! I will be checking out your posts to see how you like it and to watch your progress with weight loss. Should be an interesting couple of months!
Good luck!
