Vivian Diaz's weight loss story
An inspiring story from Vivian Diaz who lost 130 pounds incorporating Amy's meals into her diet.
Dear Amy's
I have written you in the past about my weightloss and wanted to update you and thank you again for continuing to create wonderful products that I love!
I started on my quest in Jan. 2005 and so far to date I have lost a little over 130 lbs. I am down to a small size and loving the new me. I eat so many of your foods and love them. If I would have known about Amy's foods before I started my weight loss I would have bought them a long time ago. Thanks to Jorge Cruise and the 3 Hour Diet Book I discovered your foods. I will never stop eating them!
I have a tight schedule between work and working out. I am a teacher so I am up pretty early and need to quickly get started with my day. I love your Tofu Scramble pockets for breakfast and because I am a teacher I only get a few minutes to eat lunch at school, but thanks to your other pockets I get a healthy, satisfying meal for lunch each day. My favorite meals are your vegetable lasagna, your cheese enchiladas and your stuffed pasta shells. I also love your soups for lunch too. I have a freezing cold classroom and your soups always hit the spot and warm me up.
I have gotten many of my friends to try your foods as well. Some days in the teachers lounge all you smell are the Amy's burritos and cheese enchiladas. One of my close friends wanted to lose some weight before her wedding and started eating with me at school. She got hooked on your cheese enchiladas. She ended up losing those few extra pounds and looked beautiful in her wedding gown for her wedding.
I look forward to finding your new line of foods in the stores. I can't wait to try them! I end up having to travel all over the city to find my favorite Amy's foods because they don't sell all of them in one place, but it is worth it. My entire freezer is stocked up with all kinds of Amy's meals. Thank you so much for continuing to create such wonderful and healthy meals.
Sincerely,
Vivian Diaz

- I really want to see if I can also lose the weight like other have on this type of diet. It makes me excited to start! The only thing that I would be worried about it pricing of the healthier foods. Do I have to purchase the food at a specialty store?
