The Book

First let me start by introducing myself, I am Kara De Cesare, the wife of Tony De Cesare, Founder and President of Metabolix Nutrition, Inc.  I am the Vice President of Metabolix Nutrition, but more importantly, I am the first person to go through the Metabolix 1-2-3  Weight Loss Program.   Metabolix Nutrition came about due to my significant weight gain during my pregnancies with both my sons.  I gained an amazing 60 pounds during my first pregnancy and it took me almost 8 months to lose the weight.  I struggled and spent hours in the gym trying to get the weight off – my way, the only way I knew.

Tony, being one of Baltimore’s most successful personal trainers & nutritionist, begged me to do it differently and pay closer attention to my diet and STOP doing all the cardio I would do EVERY day.  I wanted no part of his methods, so I toughed it out on my own and I did it!!!  I was very proud of what I accomplished, but he still told me I could have lost the weight in a much shorter amount of  time and with much less work.  After the birth of our second son and gaining almost 60 lbs., AGAIN I told Tony “get this weight off me quicker this time, I will do whatever it takes”.  I was desperate at this point, because now I had two infants in diapers and one was on the move constantly.  So to save our marriage he came up with the 1-2-3 Weight Loss Program. I ended up losing the weight in half the time that it took with our first son. I was elated!  Seeing my body change so quickly gave me the confidence to attempt competing as a fitness/figure competitor and for the last 6 years I have dedicated myself to eating clean and helping others accomplish their goals.  So that is my story in a nut shell. The reason I wrote the Metabolix Recipe Book is to help you plan healthy yet delicious Metabolix approved meals. Hopefully,  you will find the recipes yummy and easy to prepare.
Stay focused and best of luck,

Kara
