Dee Dee's Story

When I began Eat To Live I had no idea what a life changing journey it would become.  I was overweight, lethargic and significantly depressed.  My cholesterol was creeping up and I had a food addiction that I just could not control.  I felt like an utter failure. I knew that nutrition was the answer, but I needed more education and support. 

I read Eat to Live, began the six week challenge and noticed that within days my mood lifted and my cravings disappeared.  I was stunned to see my weight drop consistently each week.  I followed the plan, enjoyed healthy food in abundance and dropped twelve pounds effortlessly.  My husband was impressed with my success and he began to enjoy the good food along with me.  He too began to shed weight and his belt size has now gone down four inches. We talked to our family doctor about what we were doing and he whole heartedly supports Dr. Fuhrman's plan. 

It has been a learning experience that has not been without setbacks.  I was sailing right along until I reverted to my old habits. My food addiction and some food sensitivities came back with a vengeance.  I began to gain back the weight I had lost. It became very evident to me that if I wanted to feel good I would have to break my food addiction. I realized that Dr. Fuhrman's plan is the most direct route to accomplish that.  I have learned more about healthy nutrition and become more in touch with my body than I could have ever hoped.  My entire life has changed for the better.  Shopping, cooking and meal times have become simpler and much more satisfying. 

Dr. Fuhrman has done the work to make it effective and easy for me.  All I had to do was start on the path and be willing to learn.  The online support has been a lifeline for me.  In the beginning I often stumbled and the online forums gave me the encouragement I needed to stay the course. I lost 14 pounds so far and am still losing, learning and feeling great.  Eat To Live has given me my life back.
