Tom, I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have completely turned around my life.
I had been an overweight child ever since I was 8. Over the years my weight ballooned up to 250 at the age of 15! I finally came to the point in my life where I was sick and tired of looking at myself in the mirror and decided it was time for a change in my lifestyle. While I was searching for a solution I came across your site. I quickly subscribed to your newsletter and purchased your e-book.
I started your diet in October of 2004 and over the course of a year I lost 80 lbs! I went from 250 to 170. My shirt size as gone from a 2XL to a L and my waist has gone from 40'' to 32''. I am now 16 and now that I have lost the fat that was on my body I am starting a program to gain more muscle.
I don't think I ever would have lost my weight if it weren't for you. I used to look at diets on TV and wonder if they would work for me. After reading your book and following your program, I believe weight watchers and Jenny craig, or Dr. Bernstein would of never worked for me. Their programs set a standard of what everyone should do regardless of their body type. Your nutritional program really engages people as an individual.
I have learned it is not about a "diet," it is about a lifestyle and thanks to you I now have a healthy one. Thanks again Tom.
PS: I hope you also consider writing an e-book on gaining muscle.
