Jerry Lowe, 42 years old, 5 ft. 6.5 in., said that, at one point in her life, she had lost as many as 10 lbs following the routine of the Sabbatical Diet. She admits, however, that she is 'eating more now' and regaining weight; so, while she started out weighing 168 lbs, she now weighs 165 lbs.

" I started the diet prior to reading (Dr. Robinson's) book. I was ill, I prayed and God impressed in my heart to eat dinner for breakfast," said Ms. Lowe in a telephone interview from her base in Ocho Rios, St. Ann. "I started eating my dinner in the mornings; my niece gave me the book five months after starting the diet.

"I lost some weight and gained it back because I am eating now. I've lost fat and puffiness and my health is better," she continued.

On the diet

When she's on the Sabbatical Diet, her routine goes like this:

She gets up in the mornings, cooks like curried goat, rice and peas and vegetable for her breakfast.

At about 10 a.m. she has a snack.

At midday she has a meal. She says that this meal varies and maybe a combination of fruits and 'carbs'; two fruits and a pack of cashew nuts or a hamburger.

She eats dinner which she says is "a smaller version of breakfast or fruits or a salad'.

"Before I went on the diet, I would try and try to lose weight but I wouldn't budge, sometimes I would put on more weight instead. People are noticing that I am losing weight," she said.
