The power of the program With over 100,000 participants, we are creating some amazing success stories. Before Real Appeal, my health was getting out of control. I was on cholesterol and high blood pressure medication, and I had no idea how to get my health back. Real Appeal made diet and exercise simple and manageable. From the videos and classes to tracking food, it s all there with Real Appeal. I haven't been this weight since my early 20s, and now I m a better husband, father and employee. Scott B.
