Jim and Kathy Smith of Wallace heard about the program from Nina Harms of Sutherland and thought they could benefit from such a program. Harms has lost 129 pounds on the diet - 100 pounds in the first year. It has proved successful for Jim Smith, who has lost 35 pounds and has reached his weight-loss goal. Smith and his wife have guided the Wallace group to success similar to theirs. The group started out with 19 people 20 weeks ago and has grown to more than 40.
More members joint every six weeks, when the diet start a new phase.
Ruth Good of Wallace has lost 54 pounds and has lowered her body fat from 44 percent to 26 percent. The testimonies range from no more joint problems to the disappearance of diabetes. Dieters are not the only ones benefiting from this program. The local grocery store has seen some significant changes. We can't keep yogurt, rice cakes, low-fat cottage cheese and Basic Four cereal in stock.
