“Time and again, we see people with type 2 diabetes improve—and sometimes
even reverse—their disease by following a low-fat, vegan diet. Fruits and
vegetables are a big part of the answer. Tasha’s book is a great case in point.
Read this book, renew your relationship with fruit, and watch your health
improve.”

Note to the reader:
Any person who has begun a physical fitness program knows that the journey toward reaching
fitness goals includes the component of evaluation. At the outset, baseline testing helps a
person to get a “reality check” about his physical condition. This is important so that he, with
the help of his trainer, can create a plan to reach his goals that will accommodate his
individual needs. Follow-up testing allows him to celebrate progress, evaluate the
effectiveness of his program, and make changes as needed.
The same holds true when commencing any new dietary path. As you read this book, you will
see the amazing health benefits that can be obtained by transitioning to a fruit-based diet.
The plan presented in this book is much more nutritious than other diets. However, it is still
important for anyone who chooses to embark on it to get baseline readings, and to continually
monitor progress, in order to make informed decisions that support the goal of optimal health.
I believe that nutritional testing and appropriate supplementation is very important, especially
in this day and age. Soils are depleted, environmental toxins abound, and nutritional
absorption is negatively affected by poor lifestyle habits. These factors, in addition to genetic
weaknesses, are reason enough for everyone to do so.
I personally believe it is a wise idea to supplement with a high-quality multi-vitamin and
mineral supplement. Also, of particular importance for testing and appropriate
supplementation are B12, D, and iodine.
More information (including recommended research on appropriate target ranges, doses,
types of supplements, and testing) can be found in the Appendix on Nutritional Testing &
Supplementation, located in the final pages of this book.
