Scott went from 501 pounds to 232!

At 38 years old, Scott C. was not sure if he'd live to see 40.

He wore size XXXXXXXXXXL pants and could not tie his own shoes. He could walk only nine steps at a time. Breathing was sometimes difficult. A doctor said he would be dead in six months without stomach–reduction surgery and heavy medication.

Scott turned down his doctor’s advice, and instead decided to change how he thought about food and his approach to eating by following Dr. Fuhrman’s high nutrient meal plan.

Recognizing his dire health situation and need for aggressive weight loss with optimal therapeutic effects he jumped right into Dr. Fuhrman’s most extreme plan for nutritional excellence. The food provided all the nutrients, protein and vitamins essential for good health.

Scott said he never tires of the menu, as it was designed to include “everything a human craves,” he said. “There are things that are hot, cold, salty, creamy, chewy, spicy, savory, and crisp.”

Scott emphasizes that this meal plan is not a diet. In fact, don’t even say that word around him. After years of trying fad diets to lose weight, the D–word no longer exists in the his nomenclature.

“It’s not about a goal weight. I’m just doing what’s healthy for my body, and the results will follow.”

Today, Scott weighs 232 pounds. He‘s biked through the Minnesota winter, pedaling 10 to 30 miles daily regardless of the temperature or snowfall.
