A family affair: Randy's son lost 45 pounds and happily is no longer the butt of fat jokes in school, Randy lost 54 pounds and his wife lost 35 pounds
My family started the Nutritarian way of living after several attempts at dieting and getting healthy. We tried various methods; all failed to produce lasting results. After going on the Eat to live plan, I lost 54 pounds. I went from 215 pound to 161 pounds and am still losing. My wife went from 160 pounds to 125 pounds and our son, the real reason we started this journey, went from 166 pounds, down to 119 pounds, and is also still losing.
My wife started eating healthier several months before we did. I have a family history of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity. My wife and I had struggled with obesity for most of our lives. I had high cholesterol for years, but never wanted to be put on medication for it. My chiropractor had warned me of possible liver damage with prescription drugs. I had no energy. I craved sugar constantly and needed naps during the day. My wife and I work together and we joked that part of her job was to keep me awake so I wouldn't fall asleep while driving us home each day.
Our lives are so busy we rewarded ourselves by eating out almost every day. I had purchased a few books about healthier eating, and I searched for more resources online. It was then that I noticed Dr. Fuhrman's Eat To Live book. It had received a number of five star reviews, so I purchased it. We decided to also purchase the video series which gave us more valuable information and support material. We could not be happier with the effortless weight loss and the knowledge that we will not gain everything back again.
We work out three or more times per week now and have more stamina than ever before. Our son is very happy that he is no longer the target of fat jokes, and feels that his future is much brighter. My last blood tests showed that my cholesterol was normal for the first time in my adult life. Prior to this program, I had the warning signs of diabetes and high blood pressure. They are no longer threats since all of my levels are normal now.
Our son used to complain constantly about stomach pains in addition to other aches and pains. Now he rarely has any physical complaints. We have given copies of Eat To Live to friends and family and recommend it to others. This program has changed our lives, and we want to pass on the blessing we have received to others. We feel very grateful to have been given this knowledge, and opportunity to change our lives forever.
