Personal Testimonies
Personal testimonies from the Authors:
At this writing I am 37 years old, an ex-football player and power weight
lifter. At age 22 I was in top physical condition weighing 208 lbs. and was able
to lift in excess of 350 lbs. with either arms or legs. I thought I knew it all,
and I ate and drank anything I wanted both day and night.
As a result of a physical examination on April 10, 1991, I found myself weighing
247 lbs. Later that month I ballooned to 253 lbs. I was ignoring a severe
problem. I'm a committed Christian and have been since August of 1988. But I was
still a slave to the lust for food--namely "fat foods."
I went back to vigourous exercise, including running, skipping rope, biking and
weight-lifting. After two months of extremely hard work I had lost only five
pounds, and in the process hurt my knee and back. (Both conditions appear to be
arthritic in nature.) In fact, I literally had to be helped out of a movie
theater, because my knee was so stiff I could not walk. I asked the Lord for
wisdom. Through His word and the love of a close friend I was able to understand
that God not only had given me eternal life, but he had also given us provision
and instruction for proper use & maintenance of the physical body. I decided to
change my lifestyle and eat foods that God says are vital to a healthy body.
Today I eat as much as I want, almost never feel hungry, exercise three times a
week and have never felt better, stronger, and more mentally alert. My knee and
back are nearly completely healed. Most important, I am no longer a slave to
food. As this is written, I weigh 203 lbs. I am still losing weight.
I hope you will hear God's Word. He loves you, and He who is the maker and
designer of the body, who better than He knows how it works and what best powers
it?
Don't seek your own answers to your weight problem. Trust His answers. Don't
live to eat. Eat to live, to worship God.
At first I lost 20 lbs. in 21 days! At THIS point, I've lost 50 lbs., all eating
all I want.
Will you try Daniel's lifestyle for ten days? Daniel 1 says ten days was enough
to see a difference. Scott and Mark went on it for ten days. Amazingly when the
eleventh day came up--"pizza day" we called it-- we did not WANT pizza.
