Q&A with Erica Parise

Tell us a little about you, where you live, children, occupation, etc.

I’m 37 years old from Pittsburgh, Pa. I am a nurse, wife, and mom to 2 rambunctious little boysenberry 2 and 4.  

Describe your nutrition before starting the Burn Fat and Feast program.

I have always considered myself a healthy person as exercise has been a huge part of my life from a young age dancing and twirling. When I was younger I was able to eat whatever I wanted. As I got older and had kids, I found that I was still eating this way and exercising, but not seeing any changes. Over the last year I even started to gain weight.  

What made you decide to join this program?

I was following Sarah in social media, she and I twirled together when we were younger. I decided I needed to make some sort of change so I reached out to her and signed up for the Burn Fat and Feast program that started right after the holidays, no better time than New Years’ resolutions, right?! I didn’t have high expectations because what I had been doing for so long had not been working.  But, I went all in and followed the program exactly as she had it laid out. A week and a half in, I was seeing changes in my belly and wasn’t feeling as bloated. In the first 6 weeks I lost 9 lbs and 12 inches. I was floored.

How do you feel now that you have graduated?

I continued right into the elite program to have the accountability and support.I lost another 7 lbs and 5 in and am now seeing muscle definition that wasn’t there before.
