Alisa's Story

I am a 51 year old post-menopausal woman who has struggled with my weight and processed food addiction my whole adult life, leading to a diagnosis of reactive hypoglycemia.  I have lost and gained the same 20 to 30 pounds since my twenties.  Yo-yo dieting became a consistent pattern.  I would deal with my diagnosis of reactive hypoglycemia by eating a snack with a protein every two to three hours to "keep my blood sugar even." 

After seeing Dr. Fuhrman's lecture on PBS and hearing him explain toxic hunger, I felt like he was talking directly to me about my food addiction.  I immediately downloaded his audio books Eat To Live and the End of Dieting and started listening while riding a stationary bike or would listen on long walks.

His words would resonate in my mind all through the day. I slowly began to detox from all the animal proteins and processed foods by incorporating G-BOMBS into my meals every day.  I slowly began to overcome the cravings for processed foods!  I no longer get moody or depressed. I have so much energy and wake up in the morning without feeling queasy like I had for years due to what I now know to be my cells detoxing.

 At  5ft.4in. I weigh 111 pounds, after losing 50 pounds. My goal weight was 120 pounds, but just as Dr.Fuhrman predicted my weight continued to decrease until it stabilized at 111 pounds.  I am so grateful for Dr. Fuhrman and his desire to educate people on how to live longer, stronger and disease free.  I will follow the Nutritarian plan for life, as I look forward to and enjoy every single day.
