Even after having two bypass surgeries, Judy was still taking many medications, now she lost 60 pounds and is free of medication
Before starting on the Eat To Live plan I was taking many pills, for hypertension, cholesterol and severe acid reflux, costing several hundred dollars each month. I was really encouraged to make big changes in my life because I had two separate bypass surgeries, ten years apart.
In January of 2010, I changed from being on the standard American diet to a plant-based diet with no oil or salt and little sugar. I planned to do this for 30 days to see if it could really work for me. I had had recent blood work and at the end of the 30 day period I had blood work done again. Wow! I went off half of the meds. I also had lost 15 pounds. I was convinced that this was for me, and stayed on it. By August, I had lost 50 pounds and then another nine by December. To date, I have lost 55 to 60 pounds and have kept it off. I have never felt better and my blood work is fantastic. I am blessed to have my sister and husband join me in this endeavor.
