Congratulations! You’ve just digested seven lifesaving nuggets to rescue your life! This information may contradict much of what you read and hear in the media today. It takes a very special person to question the status quo—and that’s you! By reading this book and embracing the Seven-Day Rescue, you have decided that you will not settle for mediocrity. You are ready to bust free from the chains that have kept you down and from the unhealthy relationships you have built up over a lifetime with food. You are ready to avoid a life of medications and constant doctor visits. You are ready to take charge of your health and master your own destiny.
For some of you, these seven days will be easy as plant-based pie. Others may struggle a little. But please know that it will be worth every step! At our seven-day retreats a few people do become unsettled. For example, one woman felt like we were telling her that the sky was green and the grass was blue. She couldn’t get her brain wrapped around the seven major rescues that you’ve just read about. She was wrestling with how she was going to explain all of this new information on nutrition to her overweight and type 2 diabetic brothers, sisters, and parents. She could already hear their voices in her head: You must eat meat for protein!; You need dairy for calcium!; Olive oil is heart-healthy! It was all too much for her—that is, until the seven days were over and not only did she feel great, she couldn’t wait to talk to her relatives!
This will happen to you, too. No matter what the doubters say when you start, when you finish, all healthy, slim, and happy, the questions you’ll start hearing will include “Can you help me do this too?”; “When can I start?”; “How did you do it?”; “You did all that in how many days?”
So get revved up and start your journey! This is your opportunity to dazzle your insides, lose weight, and blow your doctor’s mind! Head over to your doctor’s office or the local drugstore and take a before selfie of your insides by getting a lipid panel of your total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and a fasting blood sugar. Take a hard look at these numbers because this is the current you. Own it.
Now, commit to the Seven-Day Rescue. At the end of the week take an after selfie of your insides. You own this, too. Bring these new beautiful numbers to your doctor. She may well be at a loss for words. She may not even know that these kinds of results are possible in one week. So help your doctor out! Tell her what you did and why she should recommend it to all her patients!
