Dear Nancy,

I have thoroughly enjoyed your book. As his employee I am knowledgeable about Dr. Murphree’s protocols and believe in his work whole-heartedly. I have known for

a long time that sugar was not good for you and it is inflammatory and slows healing and all that, however, I have  been an addict of sugar basically my entire adult life.

I spent my early years being raised on a farm, so we had fresh food and minimal sweets. ( I know it sounds cliché, but a couple times a  month we would go to the

old country store and get an RC Cola and a Moon Pie. This was a huge treat as a child who farmed. It is the kind of thing that is commonplace in most kids lives

nowadays.) I was quite healthy back then. As a preteen we moved to a big city raised less fresh food and started our dredge into processed foods as I became an

adult. I can literally look at pictures of my life and see when I went downhill.

I read through the first half of your book, 7Day Sugar Free Diet as soon as I got it. I must say the first half literally disgusted me. Not only with our nation’s food

distributors but mainly with myself as well. I guess I hadn’t realized what a “slave to sugar” I had become.

I have been off of sugar now for 6 days which is already proving to be an enormous step for me in many areas. I do not snack and wait for the next mealtime to come. I

have actually gotten more done in the past couple days than I normally manage to do all week! My energy has doubled already, and I am not starving!

The only cleansing I have done so far are the lemon water and digestive enzymes, but I have eaten only fresh veggies and very little food in general (compared to

before). I eat the seeds and nuts (always a part of my diet, since I don’t like candy much) and I eat salads and chicken and fish. I haven’t been strict exactly, but I have

not had any sugar of any kind, no dairy, and no bread. It is not as hard as I had feared. The first two days were the toughest but not difficult after reading your

material. I actually didn’t want that goop in my body.

It is funny having meal discussions with my family now but they are tolerating my program, although they are not on board, YET!

Thanks so much for the information. I have needed to go in this direction for a long time (weight loss) and this has helped more than anything ever has.

2 weeks and 10 lbs off so far.

Gina Dickerson—Homewood, AL

I am absolutely “in love” with your program!   We are going on a golf trip for a week, and I cannot wait to sink my teeth into it!!
I have started (because of our son’s advice and telling me how to) the 21 day off sugar!  I am so totally addicted, that it is pathetic.  (spelling)  So,I am determined to do better.  You have never met a more sugar and junk and snack addicted person I am sure.  I am just 10 pounds over weight, and very, very active and healthy, but 71, and wanting to live to be 100 and stay this way….only much healthier!!!
This is my 5th day without sugar and eating tons of veggies, and fruits.  I thought I might quite possibly expire the first 2-3 days, and today I feel like a million.  Not kidding, I cannot believe it!!!  I have also lost 4 pounds in about 5 days, but not trying for that.  My mental health is what suffered the most with the huge amounts of sugar in my body.  So, know I am so thankful for your program.  Just cannot wait to get deeper into it and study your book. I know that this is the life-style I have craved for.  Thank God for you.
Blessings,
Sandra Binkley,

Here’s Tamara’s inspirational story

I now weigh less than I did in high school. I am still learning and changing, and what an exciting process it is!”
When I first met Nancy a year and a half ago, my entire body (physical, mental, emotional) was a complete disaster. I was quite overweight, well over 200 pounds, my self-esteem was low, and I was an emotional mess. There was no light at the end of the tunnel; everything seemed so overwhelming.

17 months after:

Whenever I tried to work on my weight issue, something always got in the way, so nothing ever got done, and I was miserable about it. A while ago, Nancy gave me a copy of her 7-Day Sugar-Free Program, which I read but, to be honest, it seemed too much for me to do all at once.

After speaking with Nancy, we started with baby steps, changing one thing at a time in a process that I felt I could handle.

Now, there was a small light at the end of the tunnel. I began to feel better in all aspects of my life, and for the first time in a long while, things seemed obtainable! Food became less of an issue for me, and I liked feeling freer – no longer a slave to toxic food.

I hardly ever crave them anymore, and my tastes have changed. Nancy introduced me to juicing, which I now do mostly on a daily basis. The other day, I actually ate a salad for breakfast with my sprouts on it – truly amazing for me. I now see people who haven’t seen me in a while and they don’t recognize me. They are completely shocked at the ‘new me.’ I have lost 64 pounds in 17 months thanks to Nancy’s invaluable knowledge and patience.

Nancy works with you, where you are at in life and with your emotional capabilities; otherwise it would not have worked for me. I have struggled with my weight issue for over 20 years, but I now weigh less than I did in high school. I am still learning and changing, and what an exciting process it is! I am extremely grateful for your programs and so much more.”

Dear Nancy,
I just wanted you to know how grateful I am for the 7-Day Sugar Free Diet!
My 10th baby was born ten months ago. I have been a size 12-14 for years. Your information and encouragement helped me go from a size 12 to a size 8! (My 12s were loose when I started). The 7-Day Sugar Free Diet is not really a diet at all, but more of a lifestyle change and one that I am implementing with my entire family.

I am continuing to lose weight, but very slowly now. I am officially at a size 8 (went from a post-preg. size of 16 in August of last year)! I know I have not been this weight in at least 13 years and I am very grateful…even if I don’t lose another lb. or inch, I feel good and am very content at where I am right now.

However, thanks to you and your program and all I’ve gleaned from you, I am on a path of healthier eating/living! ) My husband is also very grateful. When I used to make dietary changes for my family, he wasn’t on board with me, but now he is. I’ve brought him alongside me and he’s lost 25 lbs.! He feels so much better and he told me the other day. “I just feel better when I eat healthier!” He also notices how much better he feels when he exercises regularly.

We are planning a big trip to Orlando, FL at the end of the month…I was so excited when I tried on a size 8 bathing suit and it actually fit and looks good! ) (Usually bathing suits can run smaller than regular clothes).

I will also start cleansing when the seasons change. We eat so much more fruits and vegetables than we used to eat. We rarely eat beef anymore and when we do, we make sure that it’s “clean” beef. We do eat chicken, but make sure it is “clean” chicken. I am learning how to cook healthier and it’s a lot of fun! It’s such a blessing to know that I am making good, nourishing food for my family.

I also am glad to establish healthier eating habits for my children because the eating habits I grew up on were not so healthy!

Thank you and God bless you,
Lori G, Texas

Why did you decide to try my private consultation program and cleanse workshop?
I have been working with Nancy for a number of years. I held a high pressure job as a member of the senior staff team in a school board, was always on the road and in meetings both during the day and evenings. Although I was conscious of my unhealthy lifestyle (irregular meals, little exercise during the week and a maximum of 4-5 hours of sleep per night), I felt that it was mostly out of my control. Every once in a while, I would sign up for one of Nancy’s workshops and for an exercise class. I wanted a more healthy lifestyle but thought that I didn’t have the time to pursue it.

At 52, I took early retirement and decided to get my life back. I started seeing Nancy in private consultation because I felt that I needed to start looking after myself. I wanted to learn more about healthy lifestyle habits. I liked Nancy’s approach because she deals with the person as a whole, accepts where we are and suggests a direction we could take to move forward towards our goals. She puts the ball in our court but is there to help along the way. Nancy provides workshops, suggested readings and teleclasses, electronic documents, her blog and weekly newsletters as support. She has a wealth of knowledge. I see Nancy as a coach and mentor and trust her recommendations implicitly.

Cleansing is an important component of Nancy’s program. Because I read the literature provided, I too began to see the benefits and wanted to embark upon this component of the program. However, I did find the first one difficult and somewhat rigid. I stuck to it and have completed many cleanses with Nancy’s help. It is almost second nature now and Nancy’s program has made it easier to follow.

When I started the program, I was close to a burn out, was overweight and out of shape. I had a cough which was stress related, had trouble sleeping as during my working years I had been sleep deprived, suffered from acid reflux and various digestive problems. As I aged, I suffered from various aches and pains especially in my joints. I developed what is called a “snapping hip”.

Since being on the program, I have lost 25 pounds and my snapping hip has disappeared. I still have a few aches and pains but use magnesium gel which helps to control them. My digestive problems and acid reflux have disappeared. I am following a raw and living food diet. I have found peace within myself and love my life. I also started getting a life: started photography, horticulture (I have a 7,000 square foot garden), I walk at least 5 times a week and do Pilates, ski…

Since starting the program and working with Nancy, my outlook on life has changed. I look after all aspects of my life and Nancy’s approach helps with this. I do not view Nancy’s program as an event or something to do. I view it as a lifestyle and am totally committed to living this way for the rest of my life. I have stabilized my weight, cholesterol level and blood pressure. My doctor was concerned at first because I was making such a drastic lifestyle change (no meats or cooked foods). However, after my last physical, we sat down to look at my test results for the past three years. He had to admit that whatever I was doing… I should continue as all my results had greatly ameliorated.

I would like to share other examples of personal successes:

• Having my family tell me that they are planning a complete raw and living food meal for my upcoming 59th birthday.
• Having my friends and family ask about the program, about what I am doing and why and comment on the positive changes they see in me.
• Going on a shopping spree and buying size 2 and 4 instead of size 10.
• Not having to make a resolution about losing weight on New Year’s Day.

Throughout the program, Nancy encouraged me to take small steps and to proceed at my own pace. She acted as a coach and mentor and was there along the way to guide me. I still need encouragement so I love reading her newsletters and blog, participating in teleclasses and various courses.

Have the programs had a lasting effect on you?
Following Nancy’s programs has had a lasting effect on me personally and on my lifestyle and life decisions. I am a better person and feel like the “ever ready bunny”. My family was a bit skeptical at first, but now, when they see the results, they applaud my efforts and encourage me to continue. At 59, I have never looked as good nor felt better.

We have been enjoying the sprouts more and more. It gets so that one can not go a day without a green drink with sprouts. Art and I get energized each morning with a green drink. I add a 1/2 tsp. of spirulina to it now as well. Our favourite drink has wheat grass, sunflower sprouts, celery, cucumber, apple, carrot and some ginger. About 1/2 and hour later I make a smoothie that I add hemp greenspowder, Vega green powder and maca to. I am amazed at how much energy I have for the morning! This morning we both went to a spin class followed by a Pilate class. Not bad for 53 and 63!

I have started to implement very small changes to my diet since ordering your Stop Your Sugar Cravings plan.

I have known for a long time that I was addicted to sugar, but thought it was not a big deal. I read many articles and books about getting off sugar but nothing stuck…until I read your Program!  It actually frightened me to read about the effects sugar has on the body. This was a good thing!

I realized my symptoms were getting worse as I got older, and I'm only 38! I was tired of being tired and feeling bloated after overeating. I new I had to change my lifestyle but I was stuck, or should I say "addicted." I loved my sweets, especially in the form of anything chocolate!

It's funny, I talking about my former lifestyle like it was many months or years ago, but it has only been 4 days! As soon as I finished reading your program I started implementing small changes, like you said. I haven't had any chocolate or any refined sugar (nor any cravings for them) since Sunday and I'm feeling alot better already. I am getting the withdrawal headaches, but I have so much more energy. I'm also food combining and eating more often with smaller meals – no snacking at night!

Thanks Nancy!

It's been a busy week but I've been able to stick to the daily diet plan!   Your emails have been helpful, thanks.   Feeling great, energetic & surprised that I do not feel hungry during the day, wow.  Veggies for snacks keeps things light, & feel fresh and alert.  Usually like breads etc. but do not miss them or the drag on the body.  Vicki is also participating in the diet and exercising and feeling great as well (light and energetic).

I have lost approximately 7 lbs in 7 days.  I can look at cookies and sweets without eating them now!  The information that you provided and the help you gave me was great. I do feel  I WOULD do this program again, My goal for the rest of my life is to eat in a way that is healthy for my body, to exercise my body so that it is strong and fit and to find a way to have daily bowel movements
