Michele Legge

Michele Legge (1954 to Present), was born in Vineland, New Jersey to Italian parents. Michele is a married mother of 6 children and 14 grandchildren. She currently lives on a 44' sailboat with her husband of 34 years. Michele is a retired hairdresser that owned a hair replacement studio in Toms River, New Jersey for 14 years before selling the business to retire to their boat. Her husband has had some heart issues and is a diabetic. After his last 2 trips to the hospital that were heart related, he decided to do something different in an attempt to reverse or minimize his heart issues and minimize his medication intake. His doctor recommended that he lose some weight. Michele spent months adjusting his diet, creating delicious meals and deserts and counting his calorie, carbohydrate, sodium and cholesterol intake. The results were amazing. Her husband lost 54 pounds and eliminated all of his heart medication and over half of his diabetes medicine. She has written her first book about the process that she used, along with interviews with others that have been on several different diets not included in this book and several who have had medical procedures along with their successes and failures, and has included many of the recipes that she has created that are the new eating lifestyle of her and her husband. She wants to share these tips, her research and recipes with all those who need to lose the weight and change their health while eating all of the things that they love...even deserts! Michele is currently writing a follow up book to her first that will include many more recipes that she has created.
