Nutrition Expert Overcomes Doubt, and Gets Liberated!
Dear Kevin,
The Liberation Diet is a food plan that does just that...
liberates from the current beliefs about healthy food from the last 50 years, and
regenerate beliefs from previous decades.
Raw and fermented foods tastes great, fat is good for you, don’t
eat too many meals a day. Can you believe it?
I didn’t at first. I had been trained with a bachelor’s degree in Nutritional Science
and had a difficult time wrapping my head around the ideas in this food plan.
Following modern day diet ideas, with a hefty dose of Soy on
the menu, my health deteriorated over time (as most Americans also discover) and
eventually I developed cancer. I underwent treatment for cancer in 2006-07 and
got way out of shape and gained 15-20 lbs.
I have spent many years with chronic health problems, and
finally came to the realization that the protocols about nutrition that I knew
from my education were doing nothing more than making me sicker! Efforts to get
back in shape and lose the excess weight weren’t doing what I wanted. I knew
something was dreadfully wrong, but couldn’t find any truth. Everything I was reading,
and everything I learned in school told me I should be thin and healthy, but I
was sick and fat.
I met Kevin about 6 months ago and saw his health and
vitality and realized we were about the same age. My conclusion was - whatever
it is he’s doing is obviously working, and what I’m doing isn’t.
Kevin went over the Liberation Diet with me one-on-one, and
it blew me away! I knew what he was telling me was true, but it was so
different than what I had learned in school, I had trouble putting feet under
it. I wanted to change my health, but I resisted.
A few months later I attended a lecture at the Awakenings
Wellness Center, in Maple Glen PA. where Kevin was speaking on the Liberation Diet, and I was
re-inspired to really give it a try.
I finally started to implement some of Liberation Diet
concepts, but was still doing much of my old diet. I struggled for 4-6 wks,
trying to follow the plan. I was literally afraid to eat some of the “Liberation”
foods. Carbs and I parted slowly and I began to eat more and more of the foods as
suggested. I still wasn’t convinced so I got tough with myself. Enough is enough, I said! I had a breakthrough...a Liberation!
Results finally
did follow. I’ve started to shed-weight and have lost 8 pounds quickly. This is
the first weight loss I have been able to achieve in 3 years! My health is
starting to improve also. I have finally got my mind “Liberated” enough to
follow what I am sure is the right diet at last.
Thanks Kevin for all your patience and encouragement.
