Hazel lost 122 lbs!
Working multiple jobs and caring for her disabled husband, Hazel Dixon- Cooper paid little attention as her weight, blood pressure and blood sugar climbed. Then a cardiologist found partially blocked arteries. “It shook me awake,” admits the California writer. A friend and the site Forksoverknives.com inspired a switch to meals loaded with plant protein, beans and greens. Also key: “I now eat only when I’m hungry.” So most days, she has brunch and stops eating after a filling dinner. All told, Hazel, 73, shed 122 pounds and turned her health around. “I have more energy now than decades ago. This works for women at 50, 60, 70—and beyond!”
