Posted Saturday, February 27, 2010 at 12:53 AM Jill this is an amazing program and I thank you and your entire team, especially Dr. Barnard, for sharing it with all of us. I have snet the link to to program to my friends who live overseas and friends and colleagues here as well. I am so excited about the program. I have lost 27 lbs since I became a vegan last year and all WITHOUT DIETING! I feel great. It's the best decision of my life and I am almost sure I have extended my life span by becoming vegan. Hugs to you and all who spent their valuable time to put this program together. Ally- The Happy Vegan in NYC!

I have been vegan for about seven weeks now and am feeling great. I was inspired by the movie Food, Inc. last fall and by reading Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer. I also read The Kind Diet and The China Study. I also recommend Healthy at 100 by John Robbins. It gives a great overview of all of the data supporting the benefits of a plant based diet. It's also inspiring that you can still make changes at any stage of your life. I had been eating meat and dairy for 42 years before switching to a mostly vegetarian/pescetarian diet last September. I continued eating eggs, fish and diary, but gradually gave them up as well.

For years, I have been basically "plant-based", but not truly committed to 100%. I think its time! What a great idea this is, perfect for people like me that just need that little extra push- commit for 21 days, see how great we feel and look- and just keep going! My goal is to lose a few pounds, and lower my cholesterol, so we'll see...

Maybe there's hope for me - that sounds good!jeffdickinson wrote: Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer. I also read The Kind Diet and The China Study. Thanx for book recommendations! Thanx for pitching in to help, Miss Eckart! Going vegan for 3 weeks sounds like a fun journey. Oprah did it - that's where I first heard of it. Then she had Alicia Silverstone and the author of Eat This Not That, and showed clips of Food, Inc. on one show, but it was sealed for me when Woman's World mentioned the 21-day Kickstart and posted PRMC link! www
