Diane's Story

At age 17, I was diagnosed with a goiter and treated with radioactive iodine. Doctors told me there would be a period of adjustment before my metabolism stabilized. I gained about 20 pounds after the treatment and became very self-conscious. I tried many diets: low-carb, liquid protein, weight-watchers, fasting, etc., only to gain even more weight than I lost. I was always fasting then binging. I was able to sustain my weight at 155 pounds for many years, but that is considered overweight for a 5ft. 6in. woman. 

Then, in June 2011, I happened to be channel surfing and paused on the Boston PBS station.  There was a doctor talking so passionately about diet (he even looked healthy) so I listened.  I hung on his every word and asked myself could this be my answer, or is it too good to be true?  I didn't want to fall in the pit of failure again.  I was obsessed with what foods to eat and totally confused by the media.  After reading Eat To Live, and following the plan I lost 20 pounds.  Dr. Fuhrman did his homework with evidence-based nutrition and practices what he preaches.  I really enjoy reading excerpts from Dr. Fuhrman's books and following his recipes.  Thank you Dr. Fuhrman. I owe you more than I can give you.
