Weight-loss surgeon, Sam Christian had a dilemma. With professional guidance, his morbidly obese patients began doing so well; they were deciding that they no longer needed surgery after all. They routinely lose hundreds of pounds - as much as 1000. Discovery Channel featured Dr. Christian’s unique approach. He teamed up with his wife, June, a research nutritionist, to develop an eating plan called Mannafast Gastric Conditioning. It works equally well for the average person. Mannafast clients admitting to having been on “every diet known to man” were reporting unexpected breakthroughs. Like surgery - and unlike traditional diets, lean, green, gastric conditioning actually reduces stomach size. Experts agree this is the key factor ensuring lasting results. Mannafast Miracle traces the authors’ missionary-minded outreach from the South to refining their proactive techniques in the Midwest. It affirms that we all love tasty food and focuses on widespread eating disorders as the basis for the obesity epidemic. Its secret is Mannameter, a copyrighted motivation maintenance tool for overcoming the universal “Five D’s” that undermine fitness efforts. The book reviews the history of dubious “quick fix” diets, self-defeating artificial sweeteners, and the endless stream of profitable weight-loss “wonder drugs.” Mannafast provides step by step lifestyle instructions on exercise, caloric control and health foods that reset metabolism. Contagious support from covenant groups continually reminds clients that they can do this. These Howard University doctors explore the role of faith in neutralizing the drumbeat of negativity and reversing trends, one person at a time. Success stories, informative charts, inspirational quotes, juicy illustrations, and Caribbean humor are colorfully woven together for gripping and practical reading. Beyond being the safe, natural and affordable alternative for massive weight loss, Mannafast equips the reader to be more effective than ever before at helping loved ones with frustrating weight problems.
Dr. Sam Christian trained in surgery at St. Barnabas Medical Center in New Jersey, Sloan Kettering Medical Center in Manhattan and studied acupuncture at Stanford School of Medicine in San Francisco. He served as Medical Director of the Morbid Obesity Unit at Gibsonburg, Ohio and Battalion Surgeon (major) in the US Army Reserves. His role in maintaining troop fitness helped inspire his clients to reap the robust rewards of self-discipline. Dr. Sam has written newspaper articles, spoken on health topics in Britain, Germany, South Africa, Canada and the Caribbean as well as sharing his expertise on numerous radio and television programs. Dr. June Christian has presided over the Heartland Nutrition Institute, a medically-supervised, weight-management wellness clinic in Tiffin Ohio. They credit much of their success to partnering with patients and clients to pursue that dream of a well-nourished, energetic, abundant life that positively impacts our world.
"Powerful stuff! The Christians demonstrate convincingly that achieving and maintaining vibrant health is in large measure a matter of decision and motivation." "Mannafast is nutrition made exciting and transforming. It answers the question of what practical changes I can make right now to become more energetic and happier with my body." "Dr. Sam succeeds where most have given up. He is the kind of surgeon who takes the time to show patients how to help themselves. Mannafest Miracle is a wonderful expression of his healing ministry." "Mannafast tackles the contradiction of rampant obesity in the midst of world hunger. This book brings a unique global perspective to our everyday weight challenges." "The Christians evoke that Caribbean charm, driving home their points with pithy stories. Mannafast weaves sound science with sacred wisdom in such a way that inspires bold action."
