could (finally!) eat as much as
she wanted while the pounds
poured off. “Now my diabe-
tes, high blood pressure, high

sleep apnea—they’re all gone.
And I’m down 256 pounds,”
she reveals. “This way of eating

Heather Goodwin, 48, says
she was born with an insatiable
appetite. After years of yo-
yoing, the 5'2" Oregon mom hit
436 pounds and found herself
struggling with diabetes and
a long list of hea lth problems.
“I’m not one to give up, so when
I heard about plant-based eat-
ing, I tried it.” Her initial results
were promising, “but I’d started
cheating and regaining. Then
I heard people raving about a
woman named Chef AJ and
how delicious her plant-based
food made with no oil, sugar
or even sa lt was. It intrigued
me. How could her food pos-
sibly taste good? And why nomuch faster than before. Energy
also increases. Mood improves.
And blood sugar issues, includ-
ing full-blown type 2 diabetes,
improve and can even go away.”
Why is a plant-based diet the
best way to unclog cells? For
starters, plant foods are
less likely to become
fat particles in
the first place.
A British study
showed that folks
who avoid animal
products end up
with almost 50%
fewer fat particles
compared to meat
eaters of the same age and
body weight. Dr. Barnard adds
that saturated fat from animal
products continuously creates
more fat particles. “A low-fat
plant-based diet has very little
saturated fat, so your body is
able to burn the fat particles,
and then they’re not replaced,”
he says. It’s the reason his recent
study found that folks allowedmuscle and liver cells—and it
revolutionized our understand-
ing of obesity and diabetes,” Dr.
Barnard says. “These particles
block the hormone insulin as it
tries to get sugar into cells to be
burned for energ y.” It’s the
root cause of insulin
resistance and
prediabetes—
conditions
that leave
cells literally
starving for
fuel even as
large amounts
of sugar go
unburned and
end up as fat. “Your
pancreas begins making extra
insulin to force sugar into
blocked cells,” explains the doc.
“Eventually it can’t keep up, and
type 2 diabetes develops.”
Here’s Dr. Barnard’s good
news: A low-fat plant-based diet
quickly eliminates fat particles,
and “your cells essentially wake
up and start burning caloriesFact!
