A friend of mine had cut out from a magazine some of the recipes Marilu Henner was suggesting to loose weight. My friend looked so terrific after trying it that she inspired me. I have never in my life tried dieting and in my mind this is not a diet, it is just another way of eating and combining foods. It really works, I don't feel deprived at all, on the contrary, I know I am doing something good for myself. I sleep better. I have been exercising for years and I finally feel rewarded for my efforts. I am giving away copies of the same article that I was handed out. Thanks Ms. Henner.
I felt soo great! with in 2 weeks i had so much energy and lost 8 pounds, my skin glowed it is a great way to live!
loved it, Was extremely motivating
This effectively summed up Marilu Henner's program. I like her book about the program, which has been instrumental in influencing me to avoid dairy. I feel much better, not puffy any longer.
i love her book i bought her book about 10 years ago and i thought, no one eats like that. well, i held on to it and i was cleaning out my bookcase and i ran in to her book again and i said to myself oh my gosh thats the way i try to eat now! so my husband and i followed her diet without him even knowing and we both feel great and lost weight. bottom line is im a big fan!
