Dear Robb (and Team)…
I just wanted to write you a quick note to tell you how much the book The Paleo Solution has changed my life.
I moved in with some friends for about two weeks while in transition and they were doing Paleo. They had checked your book out from the library and one day I decided to read it. I had already eaten a few Paleo meals but hadn’t jumped on the bandwagon. After reading it I ate mostly Paleo for a couple days and realized how sick I felt after eating non-Paleo. I may have forgotten to mention I’m a diabetic. I was diagnosed two years ago and my average numbers OFF meds were pushing 400, while my numbers on meds were around 220. Nothing seemed to change my blood sugar. I started Paleo religiously on Saturday (02/02/2013) and let me tell you that my numbers are now in the normal/ideal range. 106-112 everyday since then! If I ever needed an incentive to commit to Paleo, that was it! In addition to normal blood sugar numbers, my digestive problems, my insomnia, and my migraines have DISAPPEARED – in LESS than ONE WEEK! AMAZING!
I’m pushing strong to continue, and slowly adding in some exercise. I hope to be able to write you again to celebrate getting fully off my meds and the reversal of my diabetes. I have been singing Paleo praises daily to anyone who will listen. My husband is slowly moving towards it. My health changes, plus being able to convert his favorite meals (Chicken Pot Pie & Chicken and Dumplings), are helping his conversion. My parents are going to try it for a week when we visit them, and my sister-in-law who is pregnant is thinking about trying it for her family.
Thank You for your book and the inspiration to try something new!
My father-in-law has been a diabetic for many years and has been amazed at how this change in diet has changed his life!
Just saw this post. So want to share this on my blog! I have quite a few diabetic friends and family members.
I adore adore adore reading testimonials like this! 🙂 It’s such motivation for people who are skeptical yet KNOW they need to change their ways or else!!
That is such a great motivator. I have been reading all I can get my hands on about the Paleo way of eating/cooking. It’s good to hear about such concrete results from people who have implemented it.
