Section FiveThe Wrap-up

Every day in my medical practice I confront obesity and its related complications. In fact these may be the biggest issues I face as a physician, for they can reach far beyond the waistline. Even mild obesity can cause imbalances in our bodies leading to high triglyceride counts, out of control cholesterol, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.

Obesity is an equal opportunity disease; it doesnt discriminate based on race, social status, income, or education. The truth is we are all susceptible to its onslaught. Doug Varrieur is a case in point. At the tender age of 12, Doug personified the fat kid, squeezing into size 38 jeans. By age 17 he had earned the nickname Porky, and by middle age Doug had developed type 2 diabetes and suffered a near-fatal heart attack. At age 43, he made a conscious decision to make it his lifes work to discover the answers to weight gain and weight loss. Luckily for us, he hit on a solution that not only changed his life but can change yours, too. Doug discovered that a single ingredienthidden sugar was responsible for his seemingly irreversible weight gain. After making this breakthrough, Doug lost 100 pounds, reversed his insulin resistance, and reversed his type 2 diabetes. Years later, hes still trim, healthy, energized, and raring to help others make the same life-changing discovery.

The result of Dougs seemingly never-ending passion for getting out the word resulted in this book. In Fat to Skinny Fast and Easy Doug tells his own inspiring story and gives us some startling facts about the ingredient we all hate to love and cant always see: sugar. For instance, did you know that a medium order of fast-food French fries metabolizes into the glucose equivalent of eating about 15 teaspoons of table sugar? Or that 2 cups of raisin bran results in as much blood sugar as eating 20 teaspoons of table sugar?

Doug has really demystified the processes that cause us to gain weight, and makes it easy to understand how to lose and then control weight, type 2 diabetes, and insulin resistance. His approach is so simple and clear anyone can follow his formula for success. The magic of his program is that it makes sense to everyone.

Ive always thought that weight loss is very difficult and requires more discipline than most of us have. But after reading this book I think you will see it is really quite simple. And its all backed by sound, scientific evidence. As a busy family physician I have long searched for a down-to-earth practical guide to losing weight. This book is that guide: whether you want to lose 10 pounds or 100 pounds it lays down the foundation for you and holds your hand on the journey to a healthier life. It empowers and educates you for a lifetime of healthy eating and living. For the first time in your life you will discover exactly why your weight has been a problem for you and what to do about it.

If youre a serial dieter who has jumped from one fad diet to the next dropping pounds and clothing sizes only to watch your waistline balloon a few months laterDougs simple, no-nonsense approach to losing weight and keeping it off represents real hope. If you can get hidden sugar out of your life you will not only get skinny fast and easy you will balance your blood sugar and reclaim your health and good spiritswithout sacrificing great food or spending all your time at the gym. On Dougs eating plan you wont go hungry or feel deprived (the usual causes for falling off the wagon). Take a look at some of the delicious recipes and meal plans at the back of the book and say good-bye to the diet-starvation blues.

Youve taken the first step by picking up this book. Im sure you, like many of us, have tried diet after diet with little or no long-term success. The fact that youre holding this book in your hands tells me you have the desire to make changes in your life to lose weight and improve your health. Your desire, coupled with the power of this book, will give you the formula for life long success.

The key to weight loss and a healthier you begins with unveiling the truth about the ingredients that actually create fat and pack on pounds. In the pages that follow you will clearly see what those ingredients are, how to avoid them, and how to replace them with healthy alternatives.

Human nature dictates that most people simply dont care how much you know until they know how much you care. I can attest to how much Doug Varrieur cares. If there was ever a man on a mission to help you lose weight and regain your health its this man. You will go from FAT TO SKINNY, and best of all you will do it with help from a friend, someone who has been there, done that. Doug Varrieur is not only my patient, he is also an inspiration to everyone with whom he comes into contact. I cant emphasize enough what a service to society Doug has done by writing this book. I urge you to read it and follow the plan, for you too can go from
