Erik's Story

I had stents put in as I had a 75 percent blockage and didn’t diet very well after that. The doctor put me on a high dose of Lipitor.  I wanted to “eat to live,” and wrote those words on my calendar.  I had been eating that way a month before I found Dr. Fuhrman on PBS and started the Eat to Live diet.  My wife also did it.  She has lost 25 pounds 

I started eating whole foods.  My blood pressure was ok, had dropped a lot. I normally have allergies, I have sniffles now, nowhere near to what it was. I’ve lost 60 pounds since February, going from 270 to 208 pounds. I have not seen this weight since my early twenties.

 I am called a zealot; but at least five people a week want to know what I did. Many YouTube’s have been sent and then I just let them do what they want.   I call myself the lean green bean eating machine. I tell folks they need to jump on the bean wagon. I grew up playing tennis but really was not interested in playing, but when I found Pickleball all things changed.  I play about five to six hours a week competitively. 

 I stopped Lipitor because I was having joint pain and read up on some of the side effects. I am going to start fasting soon.
