"In just 4 weeks my total cholesterol dropped nearly 100 points, I lost about 20 lbs without feeling hungry or deprived, and I have enjoyed a new lease on life! But there is more good news. I just had my annual physical [a year later]. I was successful in keeping those extra pounds off; my cholesterol is fantastic—lower than ever! And my blood pressure, which used to be good, is now absolutely great. Needless to say, my physician was impressed and most complementary. Following the Optimal Diet and the CHIP healthy lifestyle has been so rewarding! Thank you so much!"

"... one of my patients dropped her total cholesterol from 300mg/dl to 200mg/dl in one month, and has since continued to improve her numbers from there. My husband has lost 12 pounds, dropped his TC by 56 points and his LDL by 40 points. My triglycerides normalized, my energy improved and my headaches went away... I strongly endorse this program and encourage you to consider it for those in your circle who have a desire to achieve optimal health through lifestyle changes."

"I have lost 51 pounds, triglycerides are down 100 points, total cholesterol dropped to 183mg/dl, blood pressure has normalized and I am totally off the BP meds, but most importantly, I feel like I am living again instead of waiting around to die! I am surprised at all the tasty vegetables and beans that I am enjoying and I am thrilled that I can eat the whole grains again without feeling guilty! I am walking everywhere that I can and have put in over 20k steps on many days. This lifestyle change suits me fine. I LOVE CHIP!" 
– Brenda Morris, (OH)

"I had a massive heart attack on November 10, 2000. I am also a Type II diabetic. I started the CHIP program in February. The results have been outstanding! I am no longer on medication for diabetes, I've lost weight and my heart condition continues to improve. This program is for everyone wanting to have a healthy lifestyle."
