		<description><![CDATA[Of course we can help, Blake!

With your level of determination, I am certain MENDication can help you be &quot;lean and tone&quot; again.  Despite having limited knowledge of your history and current lifestyle, I can safely deduce you have not optimized your metabolism, detoxification, nutrition, and/or digestion processes.  I know this by the obvious, and very common, complaint of reaching a weight loss &quot;plateau&quot;, as well as the other signs and symptoms you shared.

Some recommendations I would make to anyone in your position:  keep well hydrated; focus on circuit training and reserve strength training for only 20% of your weekly workout; if eating a low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet, make sure it is not everyday and that the protein sources are mostly plant-based; eat more natural - more fruits and vegetables (those that you like and can tolerate); avoid caffeine, alcohol, sugar, salt, nicotine, and other chemicals (MSG, aspartame, sucralose, etc.) as much as possible.

Also, continue reading our blog, which supplements the MENDication program and helps to educate anyone interested in taking charge of their life and health.  An article I&#039;d highly recommend for you is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mendication.com/blog/690&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&quot;The Fantasy &amp; Trauma of Low-Carbohydrate, High-Protein (LCHP) Diets&quot;&lt;/a&gt;.

As MENDication personalizes its approach with each individual, I will send you some introductory information, a questionnaire, and program options in order to tailor an approach towards restoring your vitality and health.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I do most of what you said but can&#039;t shed about 25 pounds that&#039;s been stuck to me since after high school.  I used to be lean and tone but now I have a fuller face, a gut that&#039;s impossible to burn off, less energy, and look like the guy in the picture (not that bad though - lol).  Not to mention I look way way older and I&#039;m only 33 years old!  I work out hard but feel like I&#039;ve hit my plateau and I&#039;m going nowhere.  Even the advice the personal trainers at the gym give has not worked.  Can you help me?]]></description>
