Kat’s Costa Rica Total Transformation® Program at Paradise Eco Lodge® (a “Reality Show”Destination) begins at 5pm, on Friday, January 28rd and Ends on Feb, 3rd (Extended Days Optional)
Ever wanted to get really close to raw, unspoiled, exotic nature? ...to eat eggs you’ve just gathered, produce grown onsite, homemade cheese from grass-fed cows... I have conducted Total Transformation® in many locations— from the Western and Eastern Caribbean, to Tuscany, to Maui, to Montauk, to the Outer Banks and Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, and I have never found a location more inspiring than amazing Costa Rica, described by National Geographic as “the most intense eco-system in the world” and what CNN reported as being the “happiest place on Earth.” I believe this is the ultimate environmental backdrop to transform your body and biochemistry as you reconnect with a primitive part of your nature, right there in one of the only places in the world where ocean, m eets jungle, meets volcano.
We are taking Total Transformation® to Costa Rica—with its profoundly transforming cuisine, made from exotic local produce and fresh catches—to a larger, quintessential “fantasy” Costa Rica location starting January 28th, 2012. You choose the seven-day core Total Transformation® program, or if you want more days of transforming food and coaching with Kat, stay up to one more week for the modest price of staying at a resort hotel... Only it will change your life... If you haven’t seen Mary Beth and Becca Kaplan’s inspiring stories and Costa Rica Total Transformation® experience (regaining normal lives after a digestive procedure, and a behavioral and eating disorder, respectively), please take a look at this link:

Seeking more space and an larger kitchen as well as a location close to wonderful Leaves and Lizards and Arenal Volcano views, but with enough luxury and amazing features like private natural waterfalls and primary rainforest trails line d with permaculture grooming, fantasy-esque SPRING FED SWIMMING POOLS (purported to appear as they were “built by elves” requiring no chlorine) and huge open-air rooms and wrap-around porch with volcano views that make you feel like you’re living in the jungle (and you are), but with an elevation where bugs are not an issue and the view is far more heavenly... That was a tall order... But the location I found is so incredible it will be featured in an upcoming NBC reality show entitled “Love in the Wild.” I have no doubt that the reality show in store for us will in many ways be far more inspirational.... Take a fabulous peek at the link below...

The eco-touris Sacramento retreat host and Sky Ridge Ranch director, Barbara Thompson, had this to say about her recent Total Transformation® experience:
“Kat- I am feeling FANTASTIC! Life after the Denver program is a whole new way of moving through the world. Am mostly amazed at lack of desire to regress. Just not interested in the old choices- as you kept saying would happen. SO excited about hosting the program here at my retreat center in October. I know your guests will get so much out of their experience with the horses.”Your dollars and days off are precious. What will you really bring home from your vacation?

Here are the typical physical results experienced during one of Kat's program:
Days 2-3: Dramatically improved energy, reduced puffiness in the face and abdomen, sugar, starch, alcohol, and caffeine cravings subside. Day 4: All food, caffeine, and alcohol cravings are typically gone (even in the formerly food-obsessed). Calmer skin, clearer eyes, looser clothing, deeper sleep, more stable moods, re-sensitized taste-buds, improved digestion, a new perspective on personal care can all be expected. You’ll likely see a glimpse of someone you once knew (or never knew was in you) in your end-of-week professional makeover photo.

A: Kat delivers her educational program (so boring sounding, compared to how fascinating hearing it from her really is). Her talks follow four parts: 1) Shedding 2) Feeding, 3) Cultivating, and 4) Living Beauty. We highly recommend that your friend read Kat’s book prior to attending, as Kat believed the benefits from the program are limited if the person has not taken that step, because the lifestyle shift is not necessarily intuitive and the principles are very specific and unique (and incomparably effective). Kat does not publish details about the program, but because so many national stories of dramatic physical transformation have been published about her program, and because foremost experts like Dr. Joseph Mercola (one of the most read natural healers in the world) and Dr. Ron Rosedale endorse her approach, people generally come with a very high degree of faith and high expectations, which are almost always wildly surpassed, as you can read from the link above. Kat also spends plenty of one on one time with each attendee which is key to the program’s impact.
A: No! Not only will you experience a week without blood sugar spikes and learn what it’s like to be truly freed from cravings and negative food issues, you’ll, at the same time, be empowered to address every possible food craving, from salty to crunchy to chewy, to chocolaty —without the fat-storing consequences. Strategic beverages such as non-alcoholic spritzers, hot and iced herbal coffees and teas as well as purified water are available at all times. No alcoholic beverages are available.
A: The great thing is that Kat makes everyone feel so comfortable (I am a bit introverted, so it was amazing how comfortable I was immediately). I attended a Mountain Chalet Program. She’s not a fan of rigid scheduling and allows the group’s individual issues and level determine her pacing and emphasis. This is so much more valuable, Kat says, than when she did large group programs. She gave most of her talks with us while we ate so we could have plenty of time to relax and talk with her individually, enjoy the amazing place or take excursions if we wanted. There are always such great smells and activity in the kitchen, and free treatments going on, that it is more of true rejuvenating and decompressing vacation than I could have ever imagined getting at a spa or anywhere else. And the fact that you are getting a makeover with Kat, and georgeous photos is pretty special (Kat was Martha Stewart’s makeup artist). Kat provides an excellent overview of various products including green and natural products and organic foods, elixirs, oils, and spices, really inspires you to turn your own home and kitchen into a place to rejuvenate yourself and your connection with nature and your family when you return home.
A: Kat’s “low-impact” principles are often the missing “layer” that could catapult the healing potential of all kinds of dietary approaches. Kat’s approach is already very friendly to gluten-intolerant individuals because most grain products are avoided. The Program benefits will be limited in strict vegans.
A: Kat makes no claims to diagnose, treat, or cure disease (and she has everyone sign a disclaimer with their understanding of that). Those being treated for disease are encouraged to seek their doctor’s supervision and approval before undertaking therapies or dietary changes based on Kat James’ approach. That said, the track record of amazingly transformed people in the wake of Kat’s programs speaks for itself. You and your friend(s) will appreciate the experience and benefit from it much more if you read some of the inspiring success stories in Kat’s book or her monthly column in Better Nutrition magazine, available at many independent health food stores. One recent article chronicled the transformation (times three) of a woman who brought her two daughters to the program; the mother and 14-year-old ended their eating disorder and their nine-year-old is no longer a sugar addict.
Amy English
“I’ve lost over eighty-five pounds. Most importantly, I’ll never use food as a drug again.”
Emily F.
“I can’t believe what I’m feeling. After just a few days, my eyes and my head are so clear. My bloat and facial puffiness are almost gone. My shape is changing. This is unbelievable to me because this goes against all my training as a health educator.”
Georgianna N.
“The first time around weight came off and my seborrhea went away to the point where I could wear sleeveless tops again and didn’t need steroid creams. I have watched the circles under my eyes and the crepey skin on the back of my hands almost disappear. My thyroid nodules actually shrank and all of my blood work was dramatically improved. The second time I lost another four dress sizes and got my husband to attend. Now he no longer smokes and is on a totally different path as we enter retirement. This may well have saved our marriage.”
Jeff Cotter
“I have lost 55 lbs and my blood sugar is now normal. My skin and hair are much softer. And yet I’m only just getting started with this. I have not felt like this since I was a teenager. I have tried other diets and none truly ended my very desire for what I now see as poisonous foods.”
Sue Kirwan
“I am no longer diabetic and have lost 36 pounds (four dress sizes) in three months, and regained my oval face shape."
