Success!

2.14
So often we need proof in order to accept ideas which stretch our thinking or require us to change. I'm a fan of Dr. Joel Fuhrman's work and perspectives, and believe that his 'nutritarian' approach to wellness and healthy eating is the way future generations will see their food. Fuhrman's whole-foods approach, and avoidance of dairy and processed grains, make some folks really uneasy, even skeptical. To overcome those misgivings, people need proof that Dr. Fuhrman's thinking isn't misguided.

Because a picture is worth a thousand words, and personal testimonies hold more sway than academic lectures, Dr. Fuhrman has a whole section of his web site dedicated to Success Stories. There are over 380 stories posted, describing sometimes dramatic journeys to wellness, where folks have overcome obesity, diabetes, heart disease and more.

and check out real life examples of folks who lost hundreds of pounds, or overcame heart issues, or ended their diabetes, to reclaim their lives. And all this was done simply by following a nutritarian lifestyle.

If you've started on a power pantry journey, be encouraged. You're not alone in taking responsibility for your wellness and pursuing healthy choices in food and physical activity. Read just a handful of the testimonies on Dr. Fuhrman's website, and you'll get the motivation to take your own next steps toward healthful living. Better yet, share this post with others who may be skeptical about all this nutritious food stuff. The proof is in the changed lives described in these success stories, just as you may be changing.

By the Way

One of the most dramatic stories is of Scott, who lost over 330 pounds, after topping out at 563 pounds and a size 10XL. I love that he says, "I’m just doing what’s healthy for my body, and the results follow."
