SHARED SUCCESS STORY

Adele:

I cannot let another day pass without letting you know the amazing changes The Midlife Miracle Diet has brought into my life.

I am 55 years old and two years into menopause. I have a positive attitude about this stage of life, do not believe in hormone replacement therapy and am relatively symptom free--except for uncontrollable cravings for carbs and sugar which I never experienced before the onset of menopause. In the last six months I felt as though I should join a 12 Step Program for Carboholics. The obsession with carbs and sugar had completely overtaken my life. Overweight and out of shape, I was slipping into a depressed and hopeless state about my compulsive behavior toward these foods.

About a month ago, while overcome with shame, I went to the bookstore looking for a solution. There on the shelf I saw your book and the symptoms leapt off the dust cover as mine. I grabbed the book (later purchased your 5 Day Miracle Diet and upon your recommendation, The Carbohydrate Addict's Cookbook). I have been on the program for almost four weeks and am delighted to tell you that the monkey is off my back!

I no longer face each day with the feeling that my life is not my own. I have boundless energy and hopefulness (and the weight is falling off each day). Although my primary focus is not weight loss, I am delighted to see how quickly the body adjusts itself into a healthier state while on this program. My joy comes from the realization that the uncontrollable craving monkey has been tamed. I choose when and how I eat sweets and carbs. And in a controlled situation, I can enjoy the highest quality carbs and sugar without being thrown back into them controlling me.

Thank you for teaching me how to combine foods and live my life joyfully!

Sincerely,
