Linda's Story

I have gained and lost weight several times in my adult years. Most recently, after losing my job, I hit an all-time high of 176.6 pounds and was addicted to chocolate and junk food.  Our church held a health fair and one of the groups talked about a book by Dr. Joel Fuhrman called Eat To Live.  I thought I should give it a try and started to read the book.  At first the program seemed impossible to do.  I began eating healthy slowly.  The weight started to come off.  The first week I lost 6 pounds.  After that I lost between 1/2 to 1 1/2 pounds a week.

At this point I have lost 34 pounds.  The biggest thing is that I am no longer addicted to chocolate. I like eating healthy and want to continue to learn to eat high-nutrient food.  I think of myself as a follower of the Nutritarian program.  I now have the energy to exercise.  I know that I cannot go back to the way I was eating and need to continue to eat this way for the rest of my life.  I don't want to be plagued with disease as I grow older, and want to continue to improve in every way. 

Results may vary.
