ReBecca Vivian succeeded in losing weight and altering her eating habits that saved her life. Five years ago, ReBecca weighed 482 pounds and was a near prisoner in her home. All this changed when ReBecca saw Dr. Fuhrman on TV and felt that his message of "get rid of the cravings and desire to overeat with high nutrient eating" just made sense. She made the decision to earn back her health.

During the first 8 weeks, she lost 72.5 pounds. Eight and half months later, she lost the first 100 pounds, and as they say, the rest is history. Today, ReBecca has lost an astonishing 330 lbs.

ReBecca is now enthusiastically poised to enjoy her life, share her story to help others, and participate in many activities she was unable to when she was heavy. However, ReBecca's journey has been derailed by her insurance company's repeated refusals to cover the expenses for the plastic surgery to remove the uncomfortable 20-30 pounds of excess skin that hangs like an apron from her waist that she contends with.

Ironically, if ReBecca had lost 330 pounds through gastric bypass or lap band surgery, the insurance company would have covered the expense, viewing the skin removal as medically necessary. ReBecca's success is a vivid example of how effective Dr. Fuhrman's Eat To Live and Eat For Health books are, yet how health insurance rejects this method. Rebecca had lost over 250 pounds just from reading and following the book. Thousands of people have lost dramatic amounts of weight as effectively as gastric bypass surgery, without the medical complications, long-term risks and costs associated with surgery. Plus, like ReBecca, they keep it off. Many lives have been saved from heart disease and diabetes.
