I bought new items like kale, quinoa, steel-cut oats and farro, and started cooking.
“It’s been 13 months since that start date.
My blood pressure normalized and my cholesterol numbers got into a very healthy range.
I stopped taking the cholesterol medicine, and sure enough the numbers got even lower!
I eat as much as I want and as often as I want and continue to lose weight.
Ironically, I don’t need to eat as much to feel full as I used to either.
An apple or a pear will do the trick.
“For me, this has been easy.Dr.
Caldwell Esselstynfrom The Cleveland Clinic says ‘obesity is a foodborne illness’ and I think I am cured.

Raised on the typical Western diet, my regular fast-food visits had taken a toll on my body.
Daily tracking of my ongoing weight loss and drop in blood sugar numbers provided continuing motivation.

“During my years as a young adult I witnessed my mother’s battle with diabetes and its complications.

This video was so inspirational that after watching it I felt I had to give it a try.

I’m on the hardcore stuff because I have a heart problem.
“I’ve lost 45 pounds and lowered my cholesterol from 298 milligrams per deciliter to 132 mg/dl.
The standard range for total cholesterol is 120-200 mg/dL.
The actual heartache which took me to the Cleveland Clinic went away in about two weeks.
My heart stopped hurting.
That’s amazing, isn’t it?
I pass all my stress tests now, work out hard and play tennis again.
I evenfounded a support group in Detroitto help others get the same results.”
