Over 30 years ago, Gwen Shamblin sat in a small humble retail setting in Memphis, TN leading local weight loss classes to desperate, overweight people on how to lose their weight permanently. With her background as a Registered Dietitian, a University instructor of Foods and Nutrition for five years, and even earning a Masters in Biochemistry, Shamblin saw very early on that current modern-day solutions to weight loss were not yielding results and simply put, Americans were becoming increasingly overweight.
With a deep love for God and profound compassion for the hurting human soul, Shamblin was driven to find wisdom and answers from the Heavens that would lead people to permanent weight loss and improved health. The answers came in the writings of “The Weigh Down Workshop”—revolutionary information that would soon take on the world by storm. The audio cassettes and local classes provided the practical “how to” steps and sound nutritional guidance on how to eat like a “thin eater” by utilizing God-given internal hunger signals. Participants were also taught how to eat “regular foods” and not diet foods, and most importantly— how to fill up the hurting heart and emotions with the love of God instead of the love of food. Shamblin was soon referred to as the Pioneer of faith-based weight loss.
