"My name is Tomeka from Oklahoma City, OK. I am 34 years young and I saw Dr. Beale's book in the library and decided to read it. I read the entire book in a day and a half...it was such a good book! The eating plans were simple enough for my personality and the way they were set up was like a reward system for losing weight. By following his plan at each weight interval, I had a blueprint for goal-setting. I received some assistance with reaching my goals from a local bariatric physician who prescribed an appetite suppressant for me (that Dr. suggested in his book). I was always frustrated with weight loss efforts because I am hypothyroid (low thyroid) and diabetic. My physician treated these issues as well and since beginning the program in Mid-May of 2005, I have to date lost 33 pounds!!!! I started out at 203lbs and am now on August 1, 2005 down to 170lbs. My husband needed to lose some extra pounds and started on the eating plan with me and went to my physician. He's lost 22lbs and he looks INCREDIBLY SEXY!!! After 3 babies (6yrs, 3yrs, 15 months) we are doing what we didn't think was possible and we are looking forward to our mid-30's with excitement! My goal weight is 130lbs to get to the healthiest BMI for my height and weight and I project that I will reach that goal by Feb. of 2006. I've been incorporating walking and some resistance training to help with an abdominal "pooch" that I've developed and all of my thanks is to you, Dr. Beale and daughter Lisa for the information and insight that allowed me to realize that my body is unique and for giving me tools that assist me with proactively reaching my weight loss goals in a healthy manner.

"Three years ago I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and began taking medication. While the drug manufacturer and my neurologist stated the medication would not affect my weight, I steadily began to pick up extra pounds despite that several times a week I was doing cardiovascular and weight training exercises. As my weight dramatically increased, I became really frustrated. I’ve always had intermittent “weight issues,” so for many years my diet consisted of fruits, vegetables, seafood and chicken. I limited my sweets and carbohydrates. No matter what changes I made to my diet and exercise program, I couldn’t lose a pound. In fact, over a 9 month period I trained for and ran two marathons. Guess what? The payoff for all my training was more pounds! I was at my wits end. Ultimately, I learned about Dr. Beale and began his program. From the very first week, I began to lose weight. Until Dr. Beale, I had no idea that some of the fruits and vegetables I had been eating were actually inhibiting my ability to lose weight. Thanks Dr. Beale for the education and for helping me to shed the unwanted pounds!"

"Following the Dr. Beale diet, I lost 8 pounds in less than 3 weeks, which was more weight than I have lost following any other diet or just reducing the amount that I ate. I just followed the yes and no list and actually felt like I ate quite a bit throughout the day. There was a food for all my cravings – especially my sweet tooth. The diet also caused me to eat healthier, which I have continued in the maintenance stage. I feel like I have much better control over my weight."

"Dr. Beale, I just wanted to let you know that I did reach my loss goal of 10 pounds by tax day, just as you predicted I would be able to do. With giving me a concrete date for a goal, I could actually picture myself lighter. It also helped that you stressed, 'You will not be on Weight Loss Plan D for long.' I am now on maintenance, and it is working great. I weigh every day, and if I'm a pound over, I do the plan for the whole day, or just for breakfast and lunch. It's very easy to stay low. Basically I eat what I want! My husband has also lost 15 pounds on your plan by following Weight Loss Plan A, and has reached his goal. We both know that we can do this, and stay slim and healthy. I've referred others to your book. I wish you much success, because our culture really needs help in this area. Thank you.

"The issue of fad diets intrigued me enough to put 3 diets to the test as a television story. My station put three New Yorkers on three diets for one month. All of them lost weight but gained it back. I plan on passing Dr. Beale's fabulous diet along to one of the participants -- a 33 year old African American woman trying to lose weight after the birth of a baby. As the reporter for the story, I researched dozens of diets and I tried this one -- believe me it works!!"

Testimonials From Other Bariatric Physicians

"Dr. Beale is known as the foremost authority in the world on the treatment of obesity and overweight conditions in women of African descent. I personally know of his practice in Washington, D.C. and have consulted with him concerning the treatment of female patients of African descent in my own practice in Atlanta and Albany, Georgia. I am glad to see that he has put this information in book form so that the millions of overweight women of African descent who cannot come to our offices will have a guide to safe weight loss and better health."

"We weight loss physicians who treat a large number of Black women in our practices have looked to Dr. Beale for guidance in this area for almost 30 years. His practice in Washington, D.C. is known as the largest weight reduction practice devoted primarily to Black women in the world. This book gives the reader the necessary information and resources to manage her own weight reduction program, preferably with the help of a caring, concerned physician, or if none is available, she can 'do it on her own.'”
