We were perfect examples of the classic lazy American junk food junkie.... One meal a day (constant) and an exercise program consisting of fingerlifts on the remote.
When Howie was diagnosed with diabetes and was told that he would need to take pills and then shots for the rest of his life, he knew there had to be a better way and started searching for one on the internet.
We were very fortunate to discover the NewStart Lifestyle and a three-day seminar coming up not too far from us. We decided to attend and learn and do everything they showed us 1000%!
Three and a half years later we can honestly say that
it was one of the best things we have ever done for
ourselves.
We are in the best health we have ever been in,
and Howie's diabetes is a thing of the past. Within
just a few weeks after the seminar, simply through
following the program, his blood sugar stabilized to
normal levels and he was able to go off his diabetes medication. His cholesterol and
blood sugar also dropped to normal levels, which allowed him to go off other
medications as well.
For the first time in our lives we can honestly say that we are in control of our eating
instead of eating controlling us! We eat 3 healthy, delicious meals every day and the
food never tasted better. We have dropped a ton of weight (Howie 110 lbs ; Joyce 70 as of 2/06) and never feel like we are on a diet. We also enjoy taking our walks knowing that they are contributing to our good health.
This has been a great learning process that is on-going, as we continue to get into better health.
We are surely convinced that anyone can do just as well or better than we have simply by following the program. All you need is an open mind, a great attitude and a desire to make a change for the better!
