My Doctor, Dr. George Watson of the Wichita, KS area suggested the ALCAT test to me and I am so thankful that he did. I received my results on May 12, 2010 and I have already lost 30 pounds as of today, which is August 4, 2010. It has been the easiest thing I have ever done to lose weight. My energy level is great and I am constantly amazed on how many foods I can eat and still lose weight. One of my severe foods that I have to stay away from is coconut. I love coconut and have always eaten it on everything you could name. Also, I lived on sunflower seeds and they too are in my moderate list, so I know much of my weight gain over the years was caused by these two foods. I also cannot eat wheat products and Baker’s Yeast and those two ingredients are in about everything processed, so I stay away from all of that! I have eaten healthier in the last couple of months than I have in my whole adult life. My sister did the test and she is doing great also. We compare notes several times a week on different foods we have made or found in the grocery store that is on our "green" list! I would encourage anyone who has a problem with obesity to take this test and stick with the foods that you are allowed. I still have many pounds to lose, but I now have the confidence that I will achieve my goals. Thank you ALCAT!!!!

"Immediate results...I lost a total of about 15 pounds over 3 months." |
|
Once I started on the ALCAT plan, I began seeing almost immediate results. The food cravings (primarily for sweet foods) stopped completely after about 3 days. I actually started eating only when hungry, but I did not feel deprived and was not starving between meals. The weight loss began almost immediately as well. I lost a total of about 15 pounds over 3 months. My migraines stopped completely, so I was able to stop taking a migraine preventive medication. My constant fatigue also began to improve over time, as well as bloating from water retention. I was feeling better and definitely looked better (receiving comments almost daily). My body composition was changing as well. Working with Muriel was very helpful: answering questions about the plan and its menus; substituting/eliminating foods when necessary to aid in the weight loss. Thanks for all your help.

Fatigue, indigestion and joint pain relieved by avoiding reactive foods. |
Before taking the ALCAT test, I was bloated and was carrying a lot of water weight. Try as I might, I couldn't lose any weight, no matter how stringently I dieted or how faithfully I exercised. I was extremely fatigued and would often take a nap after work. I never had a good night's sleep because my indigestion was so bad it would keep me awake for hours every night. My sinuses drained constantly. Both my eyelids twitched nearly constantly & my right eye wouldn't open all the way. My joints didn't work right and if I squatted down, I couldn't get up without help. I have none of those symptoms now, as long as I stay away from my reactive foods. Thank you so very much. I am attaching the pictures of me before & now. They were taken 7 months apart.

"I saw my asthma go away after about 7 days..." |
I am 28 years old and have had unidentified health problems since the age of 21. I saw specialists of all sorts from heart and lung doctors to endocrinologists and dieticians. All blood tests came back normal but I knew I was severely ill. My only breakthrough came from a visiting a small family doctor who suggested I might suffer from occasional hypoglycemia. I took this little bit of information and put myself on a hypoglycemic diet which I have been on for three years. It took about two years for me to be able to look back and say that my health had improved from what it was. At the same time I could look at my health and say that it has suffered in many ways. I had my blood sugar symptoms under control but my asthma became constantly severe and my energy level was non-existent. I put myself on an elimination diet as my last hope, saw my asthma go away after about 7 days and immediately sent out for your food panel test.
I got the results this morning. It confirmed that I have a moderate allergy to rice, brewer’s yeast and cane sugar. All three items I had already concluded were contributing to my “mysterious” blood sugar issues. Next, I found out I have a moderate allergy to soy products. During my worst bouts of asthma I was eating tons of soy as a protein supplement to help with my hypoglycemic diet! I had solved one problem and was contributing to my other problem.
It all makes sense now! My sincerest thanks to your team for helping me get on with my life! No more feeling like an 80 year old (hopefully)!!!!

"(A patient) suffered from a body rash that never went away…it went away after a week..." |
|
I wanted you to know the changes that a couple of my patients had in their lives after following the ALCAT guidelines. One patient, an 11 year old boy with autism also suffered from a body rash that never went away…it went away after a week of following the diet guidelines. Another patient a 35 year old woman with frequent ( 20 x/day) urination and urinary incontinence resolved completely after 4 weeks on the dietary program changes…this after three other doctors…multiple meds and multiple cystoscopies.
