Once a size 8-10, this patient had grown to a size 22-24. At more than 100 lbs. overweight she was experiencing life-threatening complications from multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, high cholesterol, treatment for angina, impaired insulin release, small vessel disease, additional heart problems and other chronic conditions. Before starting the Dr. Bernstein Diet, she followed Canada's Food Guide under the direction of a dietitian. But her weight continued to increase, and she complained of extreme lethargy and felt ill most of the time. After being on the Dr. Bernstein Diet less than a year, she lost 107 lbs. and returned to a size 8. She has also learned how to plan proper meals to maintain her new weight, and has successfully eliminated cholesterol medication, nitrogen patches and a host of physical ailments that impeded her active lifestyle. Her success has encouraged her to share her story. She has since referred at least 30 people to the program.

As an active woman in her 50's, she now feels better and younger than when she was in her 30's.
