"Hi Hermine! Not sure if you remember me, but we met a few times, about two years ago, at the recommendation of Dr. G. I am delighted to report that two years later, I have lost 40 pounds and just had a wonderful check-up with Dr. G. Thank You!"

"It has been 1-1/2 years since I was a client. You have profoundly changed my life regarding nutrition. Did I tell you through your training I lowered my blood sugar to 5.8? In the interim, I lost 24 pounds. I was never heavy having the same waistline (34) from 10th grade until a year ago when it decreased to 32.
Your training about carbs and reading labels and basically taking charge of my nutrition without any convoluted diet other than sticking to a specific number of carbohydrate grams per meal. I use my smart phone constantly as an "encyclopedia" researching the carb count of any food I feel like eating, no matter how simple or complex. I never feel trapped in what I can eat. I love everything I eat and do not miss the things I have cutout.
You have made nutrition for me a permanent part of my life. The few times I cheat I feel guilty and certainly aware. I was in Italy in May for 2 weeks and of course I ate a slew of pasta, but I would not eat bread at those meals. Low and behold, I only gained 3 pounds and took it off in a few days when I returned.
To all my friends who need to lose weight, I preach your teachings regarding carbs. For people I have met who can use the services of a nutritionist, I recommend you with the highest most astounding praise that can be given.
As a teacher, you have affected me more than any teacher I have ever had in school.
Sincerely
.......JP, Englewood, NJ
“My doctor did me a great service by referring me to Hermine for diabetes help. She worked out a meal plan that includes the foods I like and the changes needed to level out my blood glucose. She explains things in an easy, plain and understandable way. In addition, I lost 35 lbs. and look great!” ....... DS, Englewood, NJ
"Once again, I must tell you that no teacher has ever affected me more positively than you!"

“When my doctor told me I had diabetes I was so distraught and didn’t know what to do. The more I searched the internet and the more overwhelmed I became. Then a friend recommended Hermine. She narrowed down what I needed to focus on... she really saved my life.” ...... PH, Teaneck, NJ
“Because I have diabetes, in addition to kidney disease, it was difficult for me to find an educator that specialized in both. After searching the internet I found Hermine's web site. I now have a meal plan that addresses both of my medical conditions. I can now live and eat, without apprehension.”

“What separates Ms. Kessler from all other Diabetes Educators is her ability to communicate and connect with her clients. When I was first diagnosed, I was scared, had no idea what to do or how to go about it. After meeting Ms. Kessler, I was so happy because she understood my fears. Ms. Kessler was able to show me how to move forward. My numbers are great and I lost 15 very much needed pounds. My doctor could not have sent me to a better and more knowledgeable Diabetes Educator and Nutritionist." .... MAC, Dumont, NJ
