Ellen's Story

With a strong family history of diabetes, I thought I might get it one day as I had been overweight most of my life.  The day I checked my HA1C and it was 6.0, I knew that day had come. I had already been exercising, but it had not been enough. My vision was to be able to roll around on the floor with my as yet not conceived grandchildren.  I needed to keep that vision and make it a reality.  Salads and putting healthy food into the salad was my shift. I lost 45 pounds over twelve months, and my HA1c is now 5.5

I am a family doctor and use Eat To Live all the time with my patients as it gives a very simple, single vision of how to look at food choices.  Salad is the main course is the mantra.  My husband, also a family doctor with a strong family history of diabetes, lost over 40 pounds. We have the book in our offices and I show the list of nutrient rich foods as part of my food counseling with most patients. Thank you.
