Dear Cyndi,
 
I came across you one day while researching school lunch ideas. I run a tupperware business and I was researching the area of healthy eating etc to encourage sales in tupperware.
 
I was fascinated by some of the things you were saying and found myself driving off to the library the very same day. With your book in hand I set about reading it chapter by chapter, I couldn't put it down. Every spare minute I had I was reading your book. I was appalled at some of the things you have told me and as a consequence I took to my pantry and tried my hardest to make it a healthier pantry.
 
We are now eating healthier foods, I am trying my best to source products that are not genetically modified, that use better ingredients etc, etc. We are by no means perfect yet as it's a learning curve. I am baking my own cakes and biscuits (when possible) and our fruit and vegetable intake has increased massively.  
 
I have struggled with my weight and my energy levels since having three children in 4 years and was beginning to think I was destined to remain fat. Since adopting a healther way of eating (your way) and not buying *crappy* diet foods, just wholesome good for you products I am pleased to report that I have lost 8kg without even trying. I am no longer always hungry, and I am no longer having sugar cravings. I have cut my coffee consumption down from 6 cups per day (which was already a reduced amount) to two small cups per day. My water consumption has gone off the scale.
 
One thing I have noticed though is how great I feel and how horrible I feel when I go a little bit wrong. I recognise the 'food hangover' for what it is now instead of just thinking I was feeling off and eating my way through a packet of biscuits to make myself feel better. When I pick up a packet of lollies in the supermarket I now know they are going to make me feel yuck and I put them back, the feeling of being healthy outweighs the two second high from the lolly.
 
I had tried lots of diets over time and always had that hungry, weak feeling. Now I feel fed, healthy and I don't feel deprived. If I want a piece of cake I'll have a piece of cake but it will be my cake and not a shop bought cake. Bread is proving to be difficult, not to buy but to eat. I have no idea but I just can't stomach it anymore. Which is what I have found with lots of foods. I'm now loving muesli, salads, rice and vegetables among other things. I've cut down the size of meat portions for the family (I now add organic lentils & vegies to spaghetti bolognese and no one even notices) and our plates are now full of lovely vegetables.  
 
I just want to say thank you. You have changed my life in so many ways. I'm becoming healthier and fitter. For a while I was experiencing terrible chest pains and my doctor had no answers. The chest pains have practically gone now and my doctor is delighted with me. I no longer go to bed at night scared that I won't wake up in the morning. I have now returned your book to the library and have bought a copy. I highly recommend having your book in anyone's house at all times - it is invaluable reading and something I will continuously read over and over again.
 
Thank you.
Kind Regards
