The Weigh Down Diet

Having been a former model and beauty queen, I was so ashamed of myself as I started gaining weight in my late twenties. Weigh Down Workshop and the Biblical principles taught by Gwen Shamblin have revolutionized my thinking about food. I lost 40 pounds without giving up anything I like to eat!”- Mary Jo Runfola, former Miss Ohio“As a physician I have watched the frustrated attempts of countless patients as they tried program after program to get the weight off. I knew that my recommendations of standard low-fat diets were inadequate because I had actually gained weight counting fat grams. Now I can’t seem to stop talking to anyone who will listen about the difference Weigh Down has made in my life. In fact, it is the only diet I recommend to my patients now.”- Yvonne Sims, M.D., OBGYN, Tennessee (lost 20 pounds)“In many years of medicine, I had become disheartened with the diet industry. It was through this program that I found a new understanding for people dealing with eating disorders and realized that there was a new focus in ways of managing weight control.”-David Larsen, M.D., Internist, Minnesota “There is no reason why anyone could not benefit from Weigh Down, which is less a `diet` than the Gospel applied to eating. I will not be passing on a legacy of a fat father and poor eating habits to my children who watch.”-Daniel Sather, M.D., Internist, Minnesota (lost 54 pounds)“I quit serving a small god of food and started serving the one true God.”-Cindy Chapman, Aspire magazine, Missouri (lost 110 pounds) “I have spent my life consumed with weight control. You need only to grow up in a large Baltimore high school as the largest kid and with a nickname like `Baby Elephant` to end up with a compulsion towards weight loss. It is truly liberating and wonderful to be able to enjoy food again (like the taste of real cheese) without guilt. This has been a spiritual revival program…a tool of ministry and discipleship.”- Richard Ryan, Minister, Indiana (lost 16 pounds)--This text refers to the Paperbackedition.
