When John Kelly was diagnosed with Barrett's disease--a condition caused by chronic acid reflux that can lead to esophageal cancer--he knew something had to change. He had a demanding job, three sons under the age of 9, and the stress of moving to a new house.
"It's hard to take care of yourself when there are so many other responsibilities that dominate your life," he says. Caught up in trying to be all things to all people, Kelly let his diet and exercise program slide, and, no surprise, he gained weight. "I just thought that gaining weight and being tired were par for the course."
But what wasn't par for the course were the unexplained pains in his chest. The pain was building to the point where he'd feel nauseous three times a week, and it got so bad that he had to skip work sometimes. When his doctor diagnosed Barrett's disease, Kelly began searching for ways to change his lifestyle, and he found some in the Abs Diet.
Because of the limitations he had with his illness--no fatty meats, spicy foods, or tomato sauce--Kelly found that the Abs Diet worked for him.
"My condition meant no vices--no alcohol or caffeine--so the idea of a diet that featured daily smoothies was pretty appealing," Kelly says.
Within weeks, the fat began to melt, and the muscles appeared. But it wasn't just the fat--or the fact that his energy levels had increased. Kelly wasn't feeling sick anymore--and hasn't experienced any symptoms since starting the diet.
"The Abs Diet helped me return to a more normal life on so many levels that the weight loss and fitness gain are just the icing on the cake," Kelly says. "Being able to contribute at my job and participate in my boys' lives more actively are blessings that I could have never imagined could come from a diet."
