Waited For The Heartburn - But It Never Came
I wanted to tell you of the great success I have had since using the food combining principles I learned in your "Great Taste, No Pain" book. For the last couple of years I have suffered from bad heartburn. It seemed that no matter what I eat, I would get heartburn. I was taking up to two antacid pills a day, sometimes even three. I knew this was not good for me but it was the only relief I was able to find. On top of the heartburn, I often felt bloated and tired after I ate. I would simply flop down on my couch and would fall asleep, only to wake up to terrible heartburn. I considered seeing a doctor about this problem.
Then you shared with me "Great taste, No Pain" about three months ago. Since I started using your guide on "How to End Stomach Pain" I feel wonderful! After the very first meal, I had NO heartburn, I thought, how can this be? Could it be this simple? I waited for the heartburn - but it never came. I can't tell you what a great feeling that was and still is. I haven't taken any antiacid pills and still have the original package of them. Now that I combine my food properly, I have more energy and don't want to lie down and go to sleep right after eating.
The best part of all of this is that I've dropped about 15 pounds without a lot of effort. I continue to drop weight and hope to get down to my ideal weight in the next few months.
I thought I was going to have to give up spicy food for the rest of my life. I now know I can still eat spicy food as long as I combine it correctly. Since the food combining guidelines are so easy, I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything any longer.
This is a life changing book; I will never go back to the way I ate before. I can't thank you enough for making this book available.

Hardly Any Effort At All With Amazing Results
Here are some observations after my first 4 days on Great Taste No Pain.
Day One -- I experienced hunger but I staved it off with water. I took an accounting of how I felt. Usually I am constipated but I did not have the full bloated feeling I usually have.
Day Two -- I was surprised that I didn't have the hunger pangs I had the day before. I was no longer constipated, bloated, or tired. I had plenty of energy.
Day Three -- I dropped two pounds. Now is that water weight or what? I would suspect a bit of both -- but you see being how I was always constipated and was now having regular bowel movements I was sure there would be a weight loss. I was feeling pretty good with lots of energy.
Day Four -- I still have great energy and my stomach does not hurt. I never did use medicine to control any of the bloating or constipation -- but I can see how this way of eating would help get rid of all of those meds -- one just starts feeling clean from the inside out. It is a great feeling.
All the recipes I've made are very tasty. This was all hardly any effort at all with amazing results!

Constant Bloating Cured!
Dear Sherry,
I decided to give the Great Taste No Pain plan a try, and I'm glad I did. Although I have never had severe pain, I do have a constant bloating and gas problem and alternating diarrhea and constipation. I don't have a gall bladder, so digestion has been a problem. During the first two days I didn't notice much difference, except for the fact that I was using the bathroom more. During the third and fourth days, I began to feel much better. I especially noticed that right after a meal, I'm not as bloated and I do not have gas at all. I've also cut back on the digestive enzymes I am using. Also, the Greek Salad was great. I most definitely plan to continue this food combining method.

Can Now Eat Fruit Again
Although I have been eating a Vegan diet for the past 2 years I wasn't that careful about when I ate my fruit. So I'd get gas and bloating and get constipated. But I noticed that by eating my fruit according to how you say to do it in Great Taste No Pain, I do have much less gas and bloating and easier bowel movements. I will continue to be more careful with food combining in the future and hope for even more success!!

Gas Gone, Sleeping Better
“The first thing I noticed is I’m sleeping better, plus I’m not getting the gas and bloating like I used to. The recipes are great! It’s really not hard at all….”

I'm More Regular!
“I feel so much better—I’m more “regular” if you know what I mean, I don’t feel that afternoon slump anymore and my pants are looser!
I didn’t tell my husband I was doing this, but he feels good from it too. We had the Breakfast Frittata for dinner instead of breakfast, and it was absolutely incredible. I plan to tell my sister about this program too. Thanks so much Sherry!”

I Have More Energy!
“I’m a single guy, 71 years old. I noticed a runny nose the first couple of days, but you had said that we might get a runny nose from our body detoxifying, so I was OK with that—it stopped after two days.
Now I feel like I have more energy and I’ve already lost a few pounds, so that’s a great start for someone like me who is 50 pounds overweight. Since I know now that this is the best way for me to eat, I find I’m not resistant to it at all.”

Lost 20 Pounds
Sherry,
I had to write you and tell you of the success I have had since using the food combining principles I learned in your "Great Taste, No Pain" book. First, let me start by thanking you for opening up my eyes. I had always had discomfort after eating, felt bloated, tired, stomach pain etc...but had grown accustomed to dealing with the discomfort. I didn't realize how much pain I was actually in until I changed how I combined my food. When you expect a stomach ache after a meal, it's nothing short of a miracle when you
realize that you've gone through the entire day without pain!!
The wonderful part of what I've learned through your book is that you don't have to give up anything as long as you combine it properly. Because of this, I was able to easily follow the food combining guidelines knowing that if I couldn't have something this meal, I would build it into my next meal. I didn't feel deprived or like I was missing anything, which was generally how I've felt before when trying to alter my eating habits.
Another wonderful, but not so expected outcome was weight loss. I have always battled with my weight, and since using your techniques for the last couple months I have been able to lose over 20 lbs without any additional exercise than I had been doing previously. I am now the size and shape that is right and healthy for my body. My body feels better, lighter.. ENERGIZED!!!! I just can't imagine EVER going back to the way I ate before.
Thank you again, Sherry. Learning the correct way to eat has changed my life and if writing this story has influenced even one other individual to try your book and change theirs, then it was well worth it.

No Between-Meal Hunger
I began the Quick Start program while I was recovering from a small bout of food poisoning. I didn't experience any more symptoms of it once I was on Sherry's eating plan. In the four days that I tried it, I felt that I was sleeping better, had no between meal hunger and I lost 2.5 pounds. The third morning I woke up feeling more refreshed than usual, no doubt from a better night's sleep. I took Sherry's suggestion and replaced butter with the non-hydrogenated butter substitute she recommended, which tasted just like real butter.
Thank you, Sherry!

Mmmmmm Mmmmmm Good!
The reason I decided to get Great Taste No Pain is because I have a lot of combustion : ) (rumbling, bloating and gas) going on in my stomach all the time, even when I eat healthy things. I am always hungry, so I eat until I am overstuffed. I was amazed on my 1st day, how the combustion was almost completely gone. I would say it is down 90% and when I'm full it is a comfortable full not that over stuffed bloated feeling.
As for the recipes, I am very impressed, they are easy to make and Mmmmmm Mmmmmm Good! I made dinner for friends and they absolutely loved it! I am looking forward to more wonderful recipes! Thanks for all your hard work and sharing this valuable information!

Loves That There Are No "Special Foods" Required
Hi Sherry,
A christening celebration, two birthday parties, a harvest party, and Halloween tested my self-discipline while I attempted to test your program this week. I started, slipped, and started over. Honestly, I did not follow your program as perfectly as I (or it was) intended. However, I DID feel a difference and I learned a lot about myself, and my eating habits!
The first two days were the easiest because I had the least going on. I followed the program and within those two days felt "lighter" than usual. Although I didn't get the "superwoman" sensation I was hoping for, I did have more energy, and was better able to handle the demands of late nights and daily stressors that I was experiencing. It wasn't until I "fell off the program" the following day that I realized how "heavy" and bloated I usually feel.
I restarted the program with much the same experience. I felt the energy returning and just felt better overall. (That, in turn, encouraged me to get out and walk more this week too!) When I fell off the program the second time, I noticed my breathing to be more - labored - after dinner. Not that I was having a major health issue, just that it was harder to get a deep breath. I didn't think I had over-eaten, yet I was feeling uncomfortably "full". That's happened after many meals, but not following a single meal from the Quick Start plan.
Each day I followed the Great Taste plan I felt like I was taking better care of my body. I was rewarded with a lighter step and more energy. I felt no need to check my sugar levels because I knew they were where they should be. When I look back to times in my life when I felt my healthiest and had the most energy, I realize that my eating habits then were much more in line with what you recommend in your book now. I was energetic and without the pain, discomfort, or breathing issues that I was experiencing prior to Great Taste No Pain.
From this experience I learned literally how to eat! I know now that my meal preparation may be contributing to my husband's heart burn and my feelings of fullness even when I haven't overeaten...
I'm looking forward to trying out more recipes and sticking to the combinations now that I'll have a few "slower" weeks to get them ingrained before the hustle and bustle of Thanksgiving, more birthdays and Christmas. I'm also looking forward getting my mom and husband on board since they have more stomach issues than I. In fact, my husband commented, rather than complained the other night, "I see you've put me on that diet." He also didn't complain about the lack of heartburn that night. :)
Your program is great because there are no "special foods" required. I can get everything at my regular grocery store. Thanks again, Sherry. I think the book will help a lot of people, including those in my life!

Pain in my throat is gone
It is Nov 2nd and I have had such a shift of sustained energy from the 4 day plan it's amazing !!!
In the 1st day and a half I was skeptical and tempted to skip eating fruit the way you said to. Every time I moved I hurt. I almost convinced my self that fruit was responsible for my headachey and almost hung over feeling the 1st 18 hours. I am so glad I resisted and didn't cheat.
My energy has completely shifted and I have been nicknamed the ever ready bunny by friends and family!!! This is quite a change from last week before I began the plan. I was becoming the Queen of the 15 minute power nap.... who could over shoot the 15 minutes by an hour at times !!!!
The 5 lbs I have dropped effortlessly is an added bonus, but the greatest gift of all is that I DO NOT have any acid reflux that took me by surprise when I would lie down. The burping and pain in my throat is gone. The most incredible thing happens - I sleep soundly. As if I was a kid without any cares or worries in the world !! And when I wake up I am not reaching for tissue to blow my runny nose!
I haven't needed to take any antacids, and aspirin/ibuprofen for queasy stomach aches and head aches. I only wish I had discovered this years ago. I feel wonderful and happier - it is quite a delight to feel this fabulous and so radically DIFFERENT & fast result from such simple effortless changes!!
If I had to pick a favorite recipe it would be the soup w/ cilantro - it would be the best ever!
Thank You Thank You Thank You for sharing this wonderful information!!! It is so simple - I am happily astounded. Thanks so much!

Better and cheaper than meds
My results with the Great Taste No Pain in just the first few days have been great. I am not having headaches, which I usually have just about every day! I have TMJ and a straight neck (You’re supposed to have a curve.) I also don’t wear my glasses all the time, which I should. So I have many different reasons for the headaches. I think the correct food choices have really helped me in relaxing the muscles, yet not feeling tired. The food was great. The simplicity of the foods, I think are key. The processed stuff that we buy at the store is filled with so much junk it’s like having your own science project in your body. I also noticed that my skin has cleared up. I get some patchy areas which seem to flair up when I eat the wrong foods. Being a certified fitness instructor, I know what I’m supposed to be eating but I am terrible at practicing what I preach. To keep weight off I just exercised more! In the last few years I had gotten away from exercising as much and at 44, the weight had started to come!! I don’t have any current clients to keep ME motivated!!
I also noticed that I was more regular and not constipated. I have a history of colon cancer in my family so for me this is the greatest! My stomach usually makes a bunch of noise and “all is quiet on the home front now!” I love that because it is really embarrassing, and it was getting worse.
For me the best thing was just having a guide in front of me to remind me of the things I already knew. The spinach recipes were great. The carrot and cilantro soup was awesome. My husband even likes these recipes and he doesn’t like any type of “diet” or “program”. The recipes fit easily into the course of a regular day. I did regular eggs instead of the frittata but I am definitely going to try it maybe over this weekend.
I know that I am less bloated, so I have probably dropped a few pounds. I see a difference when I look at my face in the mirror. It is not puffy. It seems that I did maybe drop a pound or two. Probably my favorite thing of all was that I had no desire for any of the Halloween candy that we gave out or that my son brought home! I was very proud. I think eating this way really does stop your cravings for the unhealthy stuff! I am very thankful to have found you. By the way I am not on any meds, I believe in natural supplementation, but I have been dealing with depression in the last year. I feel that this cookbook will be a much better alternative to depression medications. Not to mention cheaper!
So once again let me stress how thankful I am to have found you. You have become my hero and my new mentor! God bless your family and please keep doing the wonderful things you are doing.
