NOTE: Adara was formerly known as TRIAD Weight Management Center

With your continued help I have almost doubled my original weight loss goal and am now closing in on 60 total pounds lost. Although the weight loss is significant the more impressive statistic concerns my body fat percentage, which has dropped literally in half, to 16%.

Before enrolling in your program I had tried many weight loss remedies. My personal graveyard of failures includes: prescription and over-the-counter drugs, meditation, hypnosis, recorded motivational tapes, fasting, meal replacement products and three other weight management programs. Until now, the results were predictable and short-lived — I experienced rapid weight loss followed by a liberating sense of freedom when I stopped the regimen. Weeks later, all the weight - and usually more - returned. "Speaking from many recent instances, there are few things in life more gratifying than being complemented for "looking great!" I will enthusiastically recommend the Adara program to anyone interested in solving the "weight-loss riddle" and enjoying the satisfaction that comes from participating in your innovative and remarkably effective program."

"The Adara program was just what I needed to help me reach equilibrium, not only over my eating habits, but a more balanced life ! The Adara team is a group of individuals who genuinely care about the weight management process and the effects of a well managed emotional well being which in turn, can have significant effects on creating and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I began the Adara program last fall and since then, have not only loss 35 pounds through healthy diet and exercise, but I have been reminded of what it feels like to live a healthy and mindful life!

With the help of Dr. Wurtman and Dr. Nina Marquis, we worked through ways of eliminating stress induced eating, while also identifying ways to bring my busy schedule back into balance. They also had great ideas on ways for me to get involved in and around town as a newcomer."

"Stress from over 30 years on Wall Street led to bad moods, bad foods and trouble sleeping...especially after being in my 100th floor World Trade Center office during the 1993 bombing. For decades, I had tried all the diets.....weight loss was not my aim...rather it was seeking a feeling of well being......low fat, high carbs......high fat, low carbs...low glycemic....juicing...wheat grass.....fasting, etc....no sugar...no fat....high protein....but I had no real diet success (the Atkins and the zone diets made me feel appreciably worse). I discovered why....most of these diets block serotonin production, especially diets that promote high fat, high protein...like Atkins and the zone diets.

Seven years ago I bought and read THE SEROTONIN SOLUTION and MANAGING YOUR MIND AND MOOD THROUGH FOOD...both by Dr. Judith Wurtman, and my life changed dramatically for the better. The daily regimen suggested in these books led to controlling my own serotonin production, leading to better moods, less binging on destructive foods, and sleep...precious deep, sound, restful sleep. I have used the ADARA drink for years which has done wonders for me and I have since learned to use the drink and/or eat the right foods at the right times to get the same calming effect. This change in my daily regimen has made me feel great and I now completely control my sleep. I often think of how fortunate I have been to follow this regimen......and avoid medication...especially in light of the terrible financial markets in the past few years...and the loss of my offices at the World Trade Center on 9/11. Thanks serotonin, and Dr. Wurtman and Adara and the regimen change you inspired."

"When I first met with Janine and Judy, I was skeptical. After an adulthood of yo-yo dieting that found me fluctuating 50 pounds, I found it difficult to believe everything I ate had everything to do with what it was and why I ate it. Six months since that meeting, I have lost 40 pounds and my cholesterol is down more than 50 points to a healthier 173! This program taught me to be thoughtful about food and listen to my body. Believe it or not, I finally know what it feels like to be physically hungry and satisfied. Satisfied used to be a FULL stomach and heartburn! As I continue to adapt to the new "eating lifestyle", I never feel deprived and enjoy a physically comfortable feeling of contentment (and no more heartburn!). The staff at TRIAD is great. They're non-judgmental and genuinely interested in their clients. I'm grateful and no longer a skeptic!"

It is a pleasure to share a word about this program, as it has allowed me to be successful in losing weight after giving up many times and feeling quite hopeless. Following the Food Plan has left me feeling completely satisfied and with a sense of well-being. Training to a new level of fitness and strength has made me feel more energetic. In general, I feel healthy and happy. The program is easy to live with on a regular daily basis at home, and even when traveling on vacations, as I have learned to make low-fat food choices at home and away. The program is designed to keep us mentally alert, physically strong, and relaxed at the end of the day for a good night's rest. It is a plan that makes sense for a lifetime of good healthy eating, exercise and weight control.

FINALLY - Help has arrived! Thank you TRIAD for creating a nutrition program that reaches both the physical and emotional aspects of nutrition. I have tried many "diets" over the last 4 years - with little or no success. TRIAD is the first nutrition program that lifted my spirits and gave me hope. TRIAD helped me believe I could not only lose weight but could change my lifestyle for the better. I believe the secret to TRIAD's success is two-fold, the drink, and the knowledgeable, sincere, friendly, supportive staff. I never felt ashamed of my appearance when attending meetings, never felt ashamed to say I didn't think I could do it and always felt TRIAD was there for me. The round table discussions gave me hope and encouragement, and the exercise program progressed at a realistic and reasonable pace. Now I know I can do it! I can continue to lose weight and reach my goal. I'm aware of the triggers that make me binge and thanks to TRIAD I can gain control over my nutrition and boy, does it feel wonderful!
