Terry's Story

I met Dr. Fuhrman some years ago, showed him my before photo and he gave me some good tips. I also attended one of his seminars and learned quite a bit about vegan cooking. Four years ago, I picked up Dr. Fuhrman’s book The End of Heart Disease, but did not read it. I weighed 285 pounds and was worried. On May 25 2016 I had a heart attack, went to the other side, came back, and read the book with a religious fervor.  I had tried the Stillman diet, various liquid diets, the all meat diet etc. lost weight, but always gained it back. I was limited to just walking for exercising, skiing was out.

The easiest part about making the transition to the Nutritarian diet was my heart attack. It was the real deal and I did not want to go back. I was very scared. Dr. Fuhrman’s book and the seminar gave me the rails to run on towards an all vegan diet!  My health has gotten better, my blood pressure medicine is gone, I am still on ranexa and plavex. but will soon be off as I lose more weight. Dr. Fuhrman suggested at 175 pounds I would be able to clear up the plaque, so that is my goal. I lost 85 pounds and now weigh 200 pounds. I am taking control of my life now and feeling better about myself.

The hardest part of the transition is wrapping your brain around no meat period. But after several days on the diet I discovered I really did not need the meat and wheat products in my life. I started feeling better after about three days into the transition. Dr. Fuhrman really changed my life, so thank you Dr. Fuhrman
