Daniel "Danny" Deston
Daniel "Danny" Destine graduated Towson University in 2019. He was a client that I would talk to about his health. Like most African American males he didn't know a lot about it but he seemed interested in our conversations. I recommended healthy living choices to him and told him to avoid red meat. Not really paying too much attention to his size, Danny started shrinking. Motivated, he then purchased my book and suddenly he got it! He started out 230 pounds and as of Feb. 2021, has lost about 50lbs, making it look easy! It's a brand new day.
Sister Danille Vaughn

who is a Believer in the Most High prayed and asked for HIS help in leading, guiding, healing her many addictions, not just food! And in poor health at 5'4, weighting a whopping 289 pounds at a size 24 dress she started off slow. Working and watching portions of food God opened up her spiritual eyes and six months later her transformation is well underway! Her testimony of gut level truth opened up many eyes to the real truth of obesity.
She lost. 89.7 pounds to date and is working a healthy weight. She walks 7 days a week and is NOT going back to bondage! She lost it in 6 months and her dress size is now a 16!
The biggest blessing is, she did this in a pandemic! Wow!

Dr. Tamara Dulan
Dr. Tamara Dulan
started her journey last year in 2018. "My ankles had started to swell and I feared for my heart. Around the same time one of my best girlfriends was getting married and asked me to be her bridesmaid. I was determined not to be the “fat girl on the beach”! On September 5, 2018 I asked God for His help. I knew I needed His help this time."
The testimony: At a height of 5’7 and a starting weight of 207.7lbs on September 5, 2018
My weight on February 5, 2019 was 157.0 lbs. Today’s weight is 145 lbs!
Along with Tastebud Tidits and the above motivation my trainer was pivotal in my weight loss journey. His name is Victor Egonu. He has his own private gym in Essex and is also a nutritional coach.

Daryl Hill
Daryl Hill
Mr. Daryl Hill made a minor decision that ended in major consequences. He ate a late night fish sandwich laughing and thinking "I can eat anything I want to eat", the next day was a special day, his birthday. Little did he know that same day he would have a heart attack. A month before his heart attack he found Tastebud Tidbits which truely helped him over the past 3 years. His testimony in the book tells more of his story.
It’s now May 3, 2019, two years later, Mr. Hill is u.s.clearly keeping the memory in his head of lying in the hospital bed, not being able to see his feet, because of his big belly. He remembers wondering whether he was going to live or die and what the book Tastebuds said, “Don’t let your teeth dig your grave”. The updated picture above is evidence of his continual discipline and focus.
Ebony Kenney
Ebony L. Kenney
12 years ago, I began a journey into myself. I was moreso lead into this journey by God, my higher source. Just graduating from University of Baltimore with my Masters, a thought occurred to me. If I was so smart, I should be able to figure out how to lose the weight. The Michael Thurmond Six Week Makeover had been in my possession for 3 months and, as with most of the tools that have helped me on this journey, it served a specific time and a purpose that helped raise my awareness and light the road for a few more sure steps. 100+lbs later, it was time to maintain it. Tastebut Tidbits is one of these tools. Full of perspectives and stories of triumph it is proven to ignite, inspire and welcome the successes that come with self mastery, especially as it pertains to this temple, the self, square one for any forward movement.

“This book was the answer to my prayers”
While waiting in the pharmacy to pick-up medicine, I couldn’t afford not to pray to God about the situation concerning an alternative health plan. Minutes later, I met Alfred P. Gladden my prayers were answered with his holistic wellness book. At that time my dress size was a 30w. I was 325 pounds. A few months after I was in a 22-24 at 290 pounds and getting healthy. Praise God!
