Many members report a rapid improvement in blood sugar and cholesterol levels when following the program. Here is a small sample, reprinted from Anne Collins Forum.
"I started on the cholesterol diet in Nov 2004. I got a letter from my
doctor with my physical results and my cholesterol has changed dramatically...
- Overall: 188 (was over 260)
- HDL: 36 (still needs some work)
- LDL: 127 (was over 150)
- Triglycerides: 124!! (was over 300!)
That is amazing considering my family history of terrible cholesterol."

This is a wonderful program. I am taking less insulin and on my way back
to a normal life thank you Anne. Its taken 25 years to budge those sugars...

Anne, ... my doctor told me yesterday that he didn`t think I needed my zestril
[high blood pressure med] He has lowered my thyroid med to about half of what
it was. And I`ve been off prednisone now since Aug.

Dear Anne, I've been meaning to send you a progress report but I only found
time this morning! My doctor is extremely pleased with my progress so far. My
LDL is down from 155 to 121; triglycerides down to 119 from 180 and total down
from 250 to 195. As far as my weight goes, I'm down 27 pounds and I must admit
I do feel very much better. I told my doctor all about your program and showed
her what I was eating, and she was extremely impressed... So all in all, I'm
very satisfied with how I'm doing. Best wishes.

Anne, ...my doctor called me personally at work to tell me that I won't have
to take cholesterol meds. My LDL was 164. It is now 104!

Anne. I had a cholesterol screening yesterday at Fred Meyer pharmacy. Blood
is from a finger poke vs. a blood draw but the technician said accuracy is within
a few points. Since starting the cholesterol lowering diet 11 weeks ago: total
cholesterol, down 39 points to 197; triglicerides, down 28; HDL about the same;
LDL, down 29 points with a total cholesterol/HDL ratio of 3.8 instead of 4.14.
I'm delighted with my progress...
