“Your holistic weight management program is life-changing and empowering. Dozens of my patients are living happier and healthier lives because of your programme. They are focusing on their relationships with food. Your clients are encouraged to consider themselves, to visualize themselves at a healthy weight, and to pay attention to what their bodies are telling them. So many “diet” programs only focus on what clients should and shouldn’t eat, instead of why we continue to eat past the point of satisfying our hunger. Your program is truly holistic, focusing on mind, body, and spirit, to help us achieve a healthy relationship with food”.
Lawrence J. Singerman, M.D., FACS, Clinical Professor of Ophthalmology Case Western Reserve University – January 2007
“I have just relistened to the six lessons on your program on CD which I have been keeping in my car. I frequently listen to audio books in the car when I am travelling to one of our offices remote from my main office. I have listened to all types of audio books including many of the best sellers. However, I spend the majority of my car “reading time” listening to self-help books. I would place your six lesson program in that category. The point of this note is to congratulate you on the fact that this is the best programme I have ever heard. You are absolutely eloquent in your delivery. You are better than all the professional speakers that I have heard deliver some of the other audio programs. This point, of course would be trivial if not for the importance of the message you are delivering. The other feature in your presentation that I would emphasise is the enthusiasm you infuse into the presentation. This is based on your mastery of the subject and fact that you have seen such positive results over the years in your students/clients who have taken your program. I can’t thank you enough for your efforts which have resulted in my getting on the right track”.

“How can I ever thank you for giving me such an important piece of my life back? I came to you a slave to food and sick of dieting. Through your remarkable and easy-to-follow program, I have not only lost excess weight but have gained self-love and self-awareness. I had tried many diets in the past, always returning to my unhealthy eating binge/starve cycle once I “fell off the wagon” and could no longer tolerate deprivation that diets provided. Truth be told, I was in emotional and physical discomfort as a result of my overeating. I was also a slave to sugary foods and late-night TV eating. Little did I know that I was about to meet an outstanding mentor and friend, Dee Wolk, who would hold my hand and lead me away from my unhealthy relationship with food“. The very first time I met you and heard your message of “non-dieting” weight loss, I knew in my heart that your program was very different from anything else I had ever tried. I looked forward to your class each week, because as I worked your program not only was I losing weight but I was losing many of my negative associations with food and exercise. As a result of your 6 week course, I lost 18 pounds (and counting!). I exercise regularly and work out with a personal trainer, have loads of energy at the end of my workday for my family and am a positive role model for my patients. For the first time in my life, I am not afraid of failing yet another diet, because you have taught me sustainable and sensible lifestyle changes. Best of all, I never feel deprived! Dee, thank you for your compassionate leadership through one of the most important changes in my life. You are an inspiration to all who suffer with excess weight. I can highly recommend Dee’s Weight Solution to anybody who is tired of dieting and instead would like to permanently change his or her lifestyle into one that is balanced and full of joy. I know you are a friend who will continue to be there for me as I continue on the important journey.”

“How can I properly thank you for what you have done? Your program has made an incredible difference in my life, and I truly appreciate your efforts. I found myself rather fat and unhappy in my mid-life. I had steadily put on about two pounds of extra weight each year since early adulthood. The weight just kept accumulating as my eating habits and lack for regular exercise went unchecked. At first I ignored it, but as the years (and decades) passed, it became an increasingly obvious problem. Then I changed from ignoring the problem to trying to accept it. But I always knew that being overweight was not really acceptable for me. I was ready to make a change when I happened upon a description of your program offered through the Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Integrative Medicine. I knew that I could not make a radical change in my life without help, so I reached out. Your program gave me the tools, knowledge and inspiration to tackle my weight problem. I have used your program to totally reorient myself toward food. You have helped me to address all of the negative ways that I used food. I am learning to control eating out of frustration, boredom, anger, and unhappiness. Learning to separate body hunger from appetite has been pivotal in changing my eating habits. The tools and techniques that you have created are filled with common sense. Your approach is simple, elegant and very powerful. The results have been dramatic. Everyone has noticed the difference, and friends and family are very happy for me. As if losing twenty pounds over the six week course wasn’t enough, I am convinced that the weight will continue to come off until I am at the proper weight. And I am also convinced that the extra weight will stay off, for life. For me, your program represents a significant mid-life course correction. I have changed so much that I previously thought to be beyond change. Thank you for providing the structure and inspiration that I needed to make such a significant correction in my life“.

“By most external standards, I would be considered a success… and slender. But until I met Dee Wolk one of the first thoughts that popped into my mind upon awakening had nothing to do with my career or my family, but was .. “oh boy, what can I eat today?” Food consumed me (rather than the other way around). I fed my emotional hunger and ate for the joy of it, as a reward for a hard day’s work and a “treat” for the times I felt down. I ate when I wasn’t hungry. I ate when I was celebrating. I ate when I was discouraged. I finished everything on my plate, and sometimes even my neighbour’s plate. I never got fat as I constantly dieted. I starved and then gorged. I could gain seven pounds in a week, and then starve it away in 4 day’s. The pattern controlled me. Dee taught me to listen to my body’s signals, and eat when physically, not emotionally hungry. I never felt deprived… I could still eat ice cream and bagels, or whatever I wanted, but just until my own body registered satisfaction. This was somewhat of a surprise to me because, despite having devoted my life to medicine, I had never learned to listen to my own body’s physical signals. Dee’s plan isn’t a diet; it’s a change in lifestyle. It’s easy to do. Her advice is practical and down -to -earth, but with just a touch of magic from her personality that makes the program as fun as it is successful”.
Gale M. Browning, M.D.
I have received insights, simple things that my own journey has taught me and several “ah-ha” moments. I love the freedom to eat what I desire and have the feeling of satisfaction substituted for the feeling of denial. Thank you for all the research you’ve done to make this course successful. I would be happy to assist you in any future research endeavours”!
Dr. Jennifer S. Kriegler
“It is without reservation that I endorse Dee Wolk’s Weight Solution program. The lifestyle changes that she teaches can be followed by anyone. Food no longer becomes the focus of your life. Consequently, weight-loss is natural and permanent. I have never been a “fat” person nor have I been a “thin” person. At first I just wanted to lose a few winter pounds so that my clothes would fit. I ended up losing 15 pounds and maintaining a weight that I hadn’t seen in 30 years! I have sent countless patients to Dee for help with their weight. Everyone has the same experience – food no longer becomes an issue and weight loss happens – almost miraculously!”
Dr. Karl Langkamp
“Thank you for the opportunity to learn and appreciate a unique perspective on the theory of weight loss, and that of a “naturally thin” lifestyle. I have come to appreciate my body as a fine tuned machine that needs appropriate care and service. I have learned to appreciate the difference between when I am truly hungry and when only my appetite is stimulated and thus only to feed my body when it actually needs nourishment. You have shown me the importance of making time for “life enhancers”. Your various tools of “present time”, “amnesia” and “natural shape”, have all come in handy during this learning process”.
Dr. Irving M. Lewis
It’s not that I was grossly overweight, or my wife, but I knew that I required instruction in eating, not dieting. I eat all foods now and I truly feel liberated. It’s such a pleasure to dine, rather than bolt or munch or gorge. You’re causing me to have a huge tailoring and clothing bill and I love it”. More comments from some of our customers >>
