“I have sugar-coated memories that go back to elementary school, from blueberry toaster pastries to Cocoa Puffs, Cracker Jacks, and McDonald’s shakes…

In college I remember writing papers alongside bags of chocolate coated candy.

I always had an immense sugar hangover when I dropped my paper off at my professor’s office, and would stop off at Dunkin Donuts to try to dull my mental angst.

I discovered early on eating foods with a high sugar and fat content, along with caffeine, was my way of avoiding feelings.

As graduation from high school and college approached, my weight soared. I would lose and gain which inevitably led me to give into cravings that seemed a part of my constitution.

And while I thought I was eating “clean” on a certain level, with my history of earlier sugar addiction, chronic dieting and emotional overeating, all of which I thought I mastered in my adult years, I knew that residual cravings were holding me back from shifting into high gear health-wise.

Because I had a thyroid condition, and a familial diabetic history, along with self-diagnosed hypoglycemia, I thought I needed to eat every two to three hours for energy.

Dr. Fuhrman taught me how to let go of my misguided beliefs, to dive into health and a leaner body with abandon, to cook deliciously all the time, to eat for nutritional excellence.

I lost 25 pounds quickly. Body fat went from 44 percent to under 20 percent.

No more cravings. I feel true hunger these days.

My complexion is better. I sleep better.

And I feel younger and more vital than ever.

With Dr. Fuhrman’s direction, I have accomplished what I had previously thought was not possible for me at this stage of my life.

Thank you, Dr. Fuhrman for an unforgettable experience.”
