Deeana's Story

Deeana and her husband lost a total of 92 pounds  and she loves her new way of cooking  

I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in July 2013 and weighed 267 pounds. My husband weighed 260 and was on a low carb diet, but wasn't losing successfully.  At my six month checkup my amazing doctor prescribed the Eat To Live book, and the rest is history. It literally changed both our lives. 

My husband embarked on this journey with me and we've lost over 90 pounds together and we are still going strong after four months. I am currently at 220 and my husband is at 215. Before we both lived on restaurant food, bread/beef/pasta and potatoes. We never ate salad or vegetables, ever. I have since discovered I love all vegetables, that I'm an excellent cook and meal creator. And I take joy in preparing the delicious meals from Dr. Fuhrman's cookbook. I pass all the recipes I make out to all my facebook group followers.

I am happy to report my A1C was 6.5 prior to Eat To Live and as of April 2014 it was 5.5. My doctor dropped my metformin in half and said in three months if my numbers were still this low or lower he would declare my diabetes reversed. Can you imagine?  I bought Dr. Fuhrman's books and have loaned them to five people. I do a mean green smoothie every morning religiously for breakfast. I've shared what I'm doing with my doctor who wants to get our local hospital behind this movement towards good health and away from the prescription medicine mentality. I have been told I've affected many people's lives since starting this journey and I'm humbled by that.  I know how hard it is and I want to help anyone I can. I know they can do this because if did then anyone is capable.

Dr. Fuhrman and his books changed my life and my husband's life in ways he will never ever know. I thank him from the bottom of my heart. I have three sons; one son is currently in the military and he barely recognized me the last time he came home and is so proud of what we've done.  That keeps me motivated as well. I'm truly blessed to have such an amazing doctor and a wonderful husband who said "whatever you do I'm doing right beside you all the way" and he did. We both got mountain bikes and are ready to start enjoying life outside like we didn't before because we had no energy. Dr. Fuhrman opened up a whole new world for us. After battling weight my entire life literally, this is the only time I've succeeded and felt satisfied, and not like I was punishing myself all the time. It's a way of life for us not a diet.  Thank you again.
