Brandi's Story

I decided to embark on the Nutritarian diet after borrowing a copy of my mother's Eat to Live book. I went online and found out that Dr. Fuhrman was hosting a weight loss challenge to lose 5 BMI points from May 2021 to January of 2022. I love a good challenge so I signed right up without hesitation.

I had numerous health concerns to begin with, acne, anxiety, high blood pressure, bipolar depression, high cholesterol, and type 2 Diabetes, along with being obese. I received the 10 in 20 booklet by Dr. Fuhrman and followed the recipes exactly. I was shocked by how good everything tasted. In the beginning I was concerned that after following the standard American diet for 45 years, that it would be hard to make the switch, but it wasn't!  Everything was bursting with flavor, and the combinations were extremely tasty. Some recipes had me scratching my head at first, thinking there was no way it could taste good, but each one of them truly excited me. Now I plan for each week and shop for all my ingredients ahead of time so that I always have good nutritious food on hand.

After nearly 9 months of following  the Nutritarian diet, my skin has cleared up, my anxiety is at a controllable level, I was able to get off my medication for high blood pressure, cholesterol, and I have cut my diabetes medication in half.  I have lost nearly 40 pounds, and feel so better that I have accomplished this goal. In fact, I lost over 6 BMI points, greater than the 5 required for the challenge!  I credit Dr. Fuhrman for turning my life around. I will continue to follow his plan for a lifetime
