I found, and still find, the testimonials were a big part of my motivation and reason to follow this way of eating. As Jim says, you can find success testimonials for almost any weight-loss diet and health solution out there. But the stories here sound like real people, making a change in their lives that was real. It made it sound so possible--so do-able--that it gave me the confidence to make the effort to do this well.
The other thing that the testimonials give us is the definite indication that there is NO PURCHASE REQUIRED! So many other plans for weight loss or health improvement require turning your credit card number over on a regular basis in return for what might be good or dubious advice and products, as an secret window into whatever is being promised. Doctor McDougall makes all of this information, and the "secret" to the good health promised, available to us all for the reading! The secret isn't a pill, a beverage, or a club to join. The secret is as plain as the noses on our faces, and on the faces of the folks who have stepped up to give testimonials, to say, "Hard or easy as it has been, this is what I did, and this is what happened!"
Thanks again to all who have shared!
