Healthy Weight Loss — Without DietingDear Mr. Mateljan,
I have been doing my own research on health and nutrition for al-
most a year now and I received a copy of your book for Christmas
last year. I was very impressed with the wealth of information you
provided and your book has become my new bible. Because of you
and the research I have done to date, my life has changed tremen-
dously. I am 49 years old and have done a complete change in my
lifestyle and I am amazed at the difference it has made in my life.
Since I have been following your food guidelines, I have also
changed my life in the amount of exercise I do, the amount of water
I drink, and I have also learned how to handle my stress better. I
have lost weight (not that I really needed to), while I eat more. I
have also found more energy and strength. But this is the best part.
In 1991, I was diagnosed with crohns disease after the birth of my
daughter. They had me on steroids and taking 21 pills of Asacol for
the first year. I am not a pill taker, I despise taking any kind of pills
so after the doctor weaned me off the steroids, I stopped taking all
pills against his advice. From that point on, I was able to manage
my crohns to some extent and suffered in silence when I would
get flare ups. Since I have changed my lifestyle, I have been com-
pletely symptoms free for 6 months now. And for that reason, I wish
to thank you very much. I also have your 300 Secrets - Book and I
am telling everyone about you and recommending your book. As a
matter of fact, I think your book is one of the greatest gifts I could
give anyone because it is “the book of life”. I look forward to your
newsletter and to learning all you have teach me about nutrition
(as I am far from being the expert that you are...lol). I am a testa-
ment that your knowledge and information shared is priceless.
Thank you again. I am one of your biggest fans. – Mitch
