No.53 : Lost 8 kg (17 lbs) on diet April 2001

I live in Oxnard, California, a warm seaside city around sixty miles north of L.A. After moving here I put on so much weight that I couldn't wear any of the clothes I brought with me from Japan. I originally decided to go on a diet in February of last year when I was diagnosed with high cholesterol (my cholesterol level was at 279), and was told I would have to take medication for this condition. I don't like taking medicine, so I decided to lower my cholesterol level through diet and exercise. That's when I found out about Forever Diet. I took two pills three times a day thirty minutes before each meal.

After two weeks, I had already lost 3 kg (6.6 lbs). I thought, "This is it!" Of course, I continued to pay attention to my diet and avoided sweets. I didn't go a day without walking 10,000 paces. By the end of the first month I had lost another kg (2.2 lbs), and after two months I had lost 8 kg (17 lbs). My cholesterol level, which had been 245 in June, dropped to 219 by December. My doctor told me that I didn't have to worry any more.

I was able to lower both my weight and my cholesterol level on my own without taking any medicine, all thanks to Forever Diet. I am in excellent health. Almost a year has passed since then, and I have not put the weight back on - and I no longer take Forever Diet.
