Dear Dr. McDougall:
I stopped eating meat after spending a week with my Vegan son in California just before 9/11. A few years went by and my high school friend told me about a book that she recommended called The China Study. After much study into this book I decided to go totally Vegan. Colin Campbell recommended your books of which I have purchased two of them. The Quick and Easy Low Fat recipes and three months ago The Maximum Weight Loss.
After being Vegan for 18 months I was still having problems with my weight. At 5'2" I was weighing in at 133 lbs. I was plump and my clothes fit tightly.
Now is the good part. Your maximum weight loss book taught me where I was going wrong and today I am pleased to announce that I have lost 13 pounds and gone down a whole pant size. I feel great at 120 lbs. for a 58 year old woman. I love my new lifestyle change and owe a lot of gratitude to Colin Campbell and yourself and Mary. Your recipes are fabulous!! Now my husband has stopped eating meat. He's not Vegan yet but is making baby steps as I did.
Two years ago my Toltal Cholesterol was 234. My doctor told me not to be concerned as my HDL was very high. After starting a vegan diet, I dropped it by 30 points to 204 in November of 2005. I'm still not happy and am trying to get it down to 150 as my family history is heart disease and stroke.
My 63 year old physically fit running brother just had triple by-pass so I'm trying desperately to reverse the harmful plaque build up that I have created through the years. Unfortunately my brother won't read the books and is misinformed by the medical community so I can only be an example by feeding family and friends all the wonderful food recipes from your books.
I am so very grateful for your dedication to such an important cause and thank you for my now quality life with no depression, IBS and weight gain. Everyone tells me I look 10 years younger. It's a good feeling to be healthy. Thank you so very much.
Sheila
