I am not an obsessive dieter, but I am a 48 year old male runner with high cholesterol, looking to improve and lengthen the quality of my life. I am nearly finished with your book after seeing your video posted on Tony Robbins eblast and I have to tell you that you make sense. I have recommended the book and lifestyle to many of my friends. I am currently 170 lbs. down from 216 lbs. with a height of 6'4" (I lost the weight by excersising and eating less calories). I am athletically built and look fit, I am striving for a weight of 155-160 but more concerned with lowering my cholesterol without medications, less body fat and improved muscle condition for runnng improvement. I just wanted to say Thank You for the push start and offerring up a better solution to eating habits and lifestyle. Thanks Again!! BC - OC

I am a heart by-pass recipient of 13 years who was sick of feeling sick and swallowing nine medications daily. Have followed Gundry's diet for 4 weeks. Weekly angina has gone. BP systolic has gone from 196 to 120.Gone from a weary, spent 66 year old to a vibrant one on reducing medications. This book makes huge sense and works for this old boy and, I believe, for anyone willing to give it a serious go. It could, I believe, put drug companies out of business and reduce the health cost burden of western nations, if people had the will to follow its formula. AS - Australia

I have been on this diet for about a month and have lost 12 pounds. I am not starving like I used to be when I was eating what I wanted. I have not had blood sugar swings. I did have a headache for about the first week, but I feel better now than ever. My joints do not hurt as much. I have no gastrointestinal distress, and my thin hair is getting thicker. I can see the new hair growing. It is easy to follow, nothing to count. Try it! BM

I highly recommend this book if you're looking for an easy safe & long lasting method to become or improve your health. I was totally amazed, not so much because the weight just absolutely just fell off my body but because I NEVER get hungry. I'm thrilled. I started this because I was getting severe out-a-control migraine headaches which I believe was caused by the sugar in my diet. When I've taken sugar out of my diet in the past, I've been migraine free, but it crept back into my life, not to mention the extra 20 lbs. I've vowed to choose health now instead of sickness. Personally, this was easy for me cause I love to fill up on proteins and vegies. I even started this before the holidays and I don't think I've ever enjoyed a holiday so much. Don't have to worry about waking up hung over, sluggish, remorseful & filled with the sugar blues. I even get to enjoy some Red Wine!! LR

My doctor's office called me yesterday regarding some test results from my annual physical. They wanted to know what I had been doing in the past year as the improvement was so astonishing across the board. Even my bone density increased! I told them about your book. I also go to the gym about 3 or 4 days a week and take supplements. They said that this kind of improvement was very rare. I am 54 years old and was not in bad shape but my asthma was not always in control, my feet and hips hurt, and I weighed about 180 pounds at 5'2". I started the book 14 months ago after my last blood test included blood sugar in the 165 range and the beginning of osteopenia, low lung capacity, etc. I am down to 150 pounds. This time my everything is normal, almost perfect. My blood sugar is good, good cholesterol is over 90, my vitamin D and B's are extraordinary. I have an enormous amount of energy. So thank you!

“Evolution” - More like "Revelation"! After 4 weeks I've lost 11 lbs and feel great. It is difficult staying away from processed foods (breads, cereals, diet sodas, etc...), but gets easier every time you step on the scale. I haven't even started incorporating exercise into my regime. Can only imagine how much faster the weight will fall off when I do. Thank you, Dr. Gundry, for writing this amazing book. DC

My husband and I were referred to Dr. Gundry a year ago obese and with a cholesterol count of over 300. With his common sense, great stories, care and concern for our health and longevity we have both lost 25 pounds counting, pounds of body fat, and reduced our count by over 80 points without medication. This is not a diet per say but real solutions for a life change if you are willing to stop fooling yourself with "diets". LK – La Quinta, CA

This book is absolutely fabulous! It makes so much sense; you'll wonder why you didn't think of it yourself. You'll have to revise most of your preconceived ideas about what is healthy and what is not to follow this eating plan, but you won't regret it. Not only will it help you loose weight, it will dramatically improve your health. Everybody should eat this way; whether young or old, thin or fat, healthy or not, this plan will change your life. It's worth it, if it means eliminating heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Thank you Dr. Gundry for finally bridging the gap between Ornish and Atkins! PC – Montreal, Canada

My wife and I have started this program together. (We are both in our mid 60's.) Two months later I have lost 20 lbs. and my wife has lost 10 lbs and 5 inches from her waist and hips. We are not hungry!!! My wife's last lipid blood panels were normal, without taking meds (after having been almost 300 and taking Lipitor for control.) We are evolving into healthier, happy and energetic folks. Our friends and family comment all the time about our appearance...makes us feel great. FG

It's the first diet book I read cover to cover before I started the program. It was an enlightening look at all the wrong things I was doing to become healthy again. I couldn't put it down. I always had nasal problems, could never breathe through my nose. Four days on the program and I could breathe again. That alone was a miracle. I could sleep all night without waking to blow my nose. My bloating went down and I lost a dress size in a week. But most of all it was a livable diet. JP
