Janice’s Inflammation Dropped
Along with Her Excess Weight

Dear Dr. McDougall and Mrs. McDougall,

I hope this note finds you both well. It has been almost one year since I attended your live in program in Santa Rosa, California. I spent five years dreaming about attending your program, but I could never convince anyone to come with me. Finally, I just decided to come on my own. It was the best decision I ever made.  Looking at where we are at today, I am very thankful I did not wait any longer.

I have done very well this past year. Last time I checked I was down 30 pounds. I seem to be at a comfortable weight so I got rid of my scale. I was what Dr. Lisle refers to as a scale monkey and that was causing me unnecessary anxiety. I am no longer anxious about everything I eat, or if I am getting enough of this or that. Now that I know the truth, my life is so much easier. I eat pretty plainly, but I enjoy my food. My inflammation levels have dropped and with the excess weight gone my arthritis is much more tolerable. I am back to golfing, hiking and playing with my grandchildren.
