What Participants Say About CHIP...
**Also see What Health Professionals Say... "I was preparing myself to be a 'little old lady,' getting meals-on-wheels, and wondering when the next stroke (the BIG one) was going to strike. Instead, I have a new lease on life -- doing things that I haven't been able to do for quite awhile (e.g., leaning over to pick something up) without fear. And soon I plan on getting back to some of my favorite hobbies - I'm enjoying every day!" -- Irene D. Edmonton CHIP Graduate "CHIP has had the most dramatic effect of any program I have ever tried in my life. It has motivated me to take control of my health and given me the tools to do just that. I have been on a roller coaster weight loss/gain pattern for years. This is the first time I have felt that I was truly, happily on a program for life. In three months I have lost nearly 30 lbs and have not been hungry, felt weak or discouraged. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to take care of the body they will have for the rest of their lives so it will serve them to the max. It is SO worth it." -- Carol D. Edmonton CHIP Graduate "A healthy lifestyle can be a real adventure. I am having a lot of fun with the new 'CHIP approved' recipes. The food tastes excellent. I love to serve guests this food, and when they say that the meal is great, I tell them that it's healthy too!!" -- Roma K. Edmonton CHIP Graduate "I am really a new person. Instead of Taking 27 pills a day, I'm down to 6. My physicians are amazed!" -- Connie Thebarge "CHIP lowered my cholesterol by 55%, reversed my diabetes, helped me lose 14 pounds -- and I feel great! All in 30 days!!" -- John Erickson "Had I found the CHIP program earlier, I know I could have avoided two devastating bypass surgeries, two heart attacks and 15 years of uncertainty and anxiety." -- L. Bradley "As a result of my new CHIP lifestyle, I now feel so much better. I now understand my diseases. I know what I need to do. I am in charge! And I am quite content. I am on the winning side. Best of all, CHIP has displaced the monsters of Fear, Uncertainty and Gloom... I am looking forward to tomorrow!" -- Burt Nilson "My cholesterol reading on April 10 was 208 mg%. At the end of the 30-day program it wad down to 164 mg%, and now, four weeks later, it's 134 mg%.... and without any cholesterol-lowering medication! My blood pressure is also coming down, and I have lost the extra pounds. It's never too late to change for the better!" -- Bob Tennant "Life is great again. My grandkids once more have a grandpa, my wife once more has a husband, and I'm looking forward to dedicating my life to helping spread the CHIP lifestyle. Only five months ago, my prognosis was "very guarded." But now I feel like a new man with a future once more before me." -- Denny Dal Pra "I've lost 45 pounds. The most important thing is I've become independent; I'm cutting my own toenails again." -- B. Lind "Thank you for helping me to start losing weight. It is now four weeks since I graduated with 500 other people from the CHIP program. I have already lost 20 pounds with more to go. But the most important aspect is that my attitude has improved tremendously. I am no longer a fearful couch potato. All the accolades CHIP receives are richly deserved. -- Ellen Zarnick "Since I graduated in November, 1999, I've lost 40 pounds. And, although I am close to retirement age, I now have more energy than I thought possible. I'm so proud to be a part of the CHIP family!" -- S. Chatpar "CHIP has made a lot of difference in my life and in my health. I've maintained the CHIP lifestyle and my weight does prove it. I'm 28 pounds lighter and feeling good." -- Audrey Johnson “My headaches are gone, sinus and ear pain and pressure are some better. My energy is higher and more even throughout the day. I feel more settled, can think more clearly--- I seem to get more done. My husband says I am less irritable and I don’t complain as much and that I have more energy and am physically stronger (weight training).” “I am forming a healthy lifestyle—drinking lots more water, exercising more, eating smart, getting more sleep, losing weight. I’m so happy to be a 'Chipper.'” “I can walk faster and farther in a shorter periods if time. I can go up and down steps so much easier now. I feel so much better about myself and I’m sure going to stay with the program.” “I’m keeping blood sugar down without medication. More energy.” Prior to CHIP, I slept an average of 9-10 hours and was still tired. Now I wake up refreshed after 8-9 hours. 2. I’ve lost 12 pounds and several inches. My right knee is feeling much better and I can negotiate stairs much easier. 4. I haven’t noticed any heart palpitations since I began the program. I’m anxious to see my 2nd heartscreen!” “Energy up; food cravings down; weight down; mental capacity up.” “My attitude has changed considerably. I feel better, and I’m loosing weight and feel good.” “I feel better; off some meds; eat less and eating the proper kinds of food.” “I am glad to know how my body deals with the things I put in it, both good and bad. Now I can make intelligent choices. The program was better than I expected.” “Although I was very excited to join the program in the beginning, I feel that the program exceeded my expectations and hopes for improving my health! I have known for sometime that diet was linked to many diseases and that improving one’s diet would improve one’s overall health, but I really lacked motivation to do it for myself. CHIP has increased my understanding of why diet is important and I now have the motivation I lacked !! “[I now have] Self control over poor eating habits. Less congestion... which may have related to difficulty in breathing. Much better regulation from the bowels. Much less worry about low blood pressure and high cholesterol.” “With my high cholesterol I was learning all the things I shouldn’t have and my diet became very limited. But because of going to the CHIP program I learned about all the good and many things that I can have. All the recipes and demos make me so excited about good eating habits and choices. I no longer miss or want what is not good for me. Thank you so very, very much Brewster CHIP !” “From the first day I found I had no urge to snack between meals. I was satisfied all the time! I’m sure the grains and legumes stick with me. I no longer feel deprived while losing weight because I am eating foods I love, and in abundance! The wonderful recipes and samples made it so easy to change my cooking style. I also thought the speakers were most informative and helpful.” “Thought provoking! I especially liked the focus and the entire spectrum of health (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual). The intense, 4-night-per-week format keeps you motivated. After 4 weeks of practice, some of the concepts are beginning to feel like part of my normal routine. CHIP has transformed my thinking about eating habits necessary to ensure my health into my golden years.” “Our community should be exposed to this program!” “It turned out to be a lot more informative than I initially thought it would be. It was interesting and entertaining. It was convincing enough to help me take the steps to change my lifestyle.” “Great! Especially enjoyed the recipes and food demonstrations. I learned so much. I already thought I knew just about everything about diet and lifestyle. What I knew was nothing compared to what I learned. I admire all the staff and speakers for dedication so much of their time and talents to the CHIP class.” “I think it’s outstanding. To bad more people aren’t aware of the program.” “This is a great program.” “It is excellent and I just wish more people were gaining this valuable information and support.” “At first I thought it would be something I really wouldn’t be interested in. As I began to learn more about it I really enjoyed it and learned a lot.” “Thought it a very good program and maybe more people show take it. My taste buds have improved, lost weight, and my wife lost 10 pounds. She went along with the diet.”
