I love presenting to an audience how to create the possibility of not only achieving weight loss but learning how to maintain a healthy relationship with food so the word diet is eliminated from your vocabulary.
Conversations that exist only in our "Inner Food Voice" uncovers the torment associated with how much time is spent negotiating and rationalizing about food choices. This awareness brings camaraderie and yes, humor to help recategorize what food represents in our lives.
Then the feelings of fear, guilt and denial around food are replaced with sheer pleasure of smelling, tasting and eating a good meal with friends and family bringing joy and laughter into a calmer life.
I didn't think this would really work, since nothing else had, but working with Joyce has, truly, changed my life. I lost about 20 pounds on the HCG part of this diet, and with the tools Joyce gave me I've lost another 10. Something about the way she makes you focus just makes it easy. I never thought I'd say weight loss could be easy... Most of all I just feel like I'm in control, where I was out of control before. Thank you, thank you, thank you Joyce! I love having a cute bod again!
Response from Joyce Lillis:
Hi Marty,
Thank you so much for the review. I really enjoyed worked with you and so happy you are doing so well.
Best,
Joyce
Joyce shares very emotional personal stories from her life which adds to much to the event. Very inspiring weight loss success stories from her life and clients.
Joyce Lillis has been SO helpful as I have slimmed down. Most importantly, I am sure I can stay slimmer with her assistance. She has taught me immeasurably good things about food, my body, and even emotional reasons that held me back in the past from keeping extra weight off. I am thrilled with how she coaches and the results I have maintained.
Response from Joyce Lillis:
Thank you so much Deborah. It is an incredible pleasure to work with you.
I only have the highest regard for Joyce and Metabolic Reset. From the first time we spoke on the phone, I had total trust in her and the program. I'm almost at my goal and I know that Joyce will continue to gently guide me to my finish line. I recommend Joyce to anyone who wants to lose weight and regain their true self. She helped me open a door so that I am more than ready to open more doors to my life. Thank you Joyce!!
In her speaking, she clarifies the issues and the audience follows along very well. Unlike most other speakers in the dieting world, she brings concrete practices and authenticity to her content. I highly recommend her!

In the ‘50s, when Joyce Lillis was 8 years old, her mother dragged her and her sister to Jackie Gleason’s diet doctor in Patterson, New Jersey, every Tuesday night to get weighed in and to score her weekly supply of diet pills. Joyce grew up with a mother on speed!
When you first get to know Joyce, you may find her to be a soft-spoken woman with a wealth of experience in the corporate world. But get her on the subject of diets and weight loss and you’ll quickly realize that her present calling is to bust many of the myths about weight loss management. And there’s no one more qualified to do so. For over 35 years Joyce exercised and yo-yo dieted, losing weight only to gain it all back, until she found a program that reset her metabolism. In less than two months, she lost 18 pounds and over 16 inches. Her body reshaped itself and now her weight is lower than it was in high school.
This victory led Joyce to want to help others, so in 2007 she founded Metabolic Reset, LLC. Since then, she’s helped over thousands of clients lose weight and keep it off. Her success rate speaks for itself. Seventy-five percent have maintained their goal weight.
Prior to helping people conquer their relationship with food, Joyce spent 20 years developing training, sales, and marketing strategies for Fortune 500 companies, mid-size businesses, and entrepreneurial firms, having worked her way up from a secretarial position to senior vice president responsible for over 700 individuals. Her goal was always to take care of “her people.” In her current career she develops trust and respect with her clients through her understanding and sensitivity to assure they experience overall success on their journey of conquering their relationship with food.
Joyce is a Certified Master Coach and a member of the International Federation of Coaching. When she’s not coaching clients, she loves to travel abroad, perform storytelling with the Circle to Stage, write screenplays, exercise take yoga. She has made her bathroom scale a best friend and weighs in every morning. She loves New York spending time with family and enjoying all New York has to offer; museums, music, Broadway plays and lectures. Ask her what the craziest thing she’s done in her life and she’d say it was the summer she spent skydiving. Joyce spent ten years living in Northern California retuning to the east coast three years ago. She now lives in Tarrytown, New York.
