Chapter 1: IntroductionChapter 1: Introduction
When I experienced a major health crisis in my 20s and was disabled for several
years, I was no longer able to exercise like I did before, and I gained a lot of
weight. (For the curious, the details of my story are available in my book Where
Science Meets Spirit: The Formula for Miracles, available at my Web site
The Formula For Miracles. See Appendix A for more information and a sample
chapter from this book.) At my heaviest I weighed close to 300 pounds, was
technically obese, had all the symptoms of Type-2 diabetes, and was
headed for cancer and a heart attack.

experienced several traumas all at once. First, a dishonest and vengeful
neighbor set me up for a lawsuit which wiped out my savings and damaged my

and told me she had been in love with someone else the whole time we were
dating, just ahead of a romantic two week vacation in Hawaii we had planned
together. And three days after that, my father died. (And just to add insult to

injury, my computer crashed and my car was vandalized!) As I was recovering
from this ordeal, I realized that I had to make some changes in my life, and
getting into shape was at the top of the list. So, I made a serious effort at dieting
and exercise.
