From the Heart readers I am thrilled to introduce you all to Doug Varrier. As a personal testimony of the effectiveness of his program, I went down three jean sizes (12 (almost a 14) to a large 6) in just three months. The renewed energy I feel and the continual thanks I receive from my knees tell me this is my new life program. I received Doug’s book and shortly after, sat one evening and read it all the way through. I knew it immediately was a book that the average reader would find refreshing. His book reads like a great novel and the recipes it contains are simple to prepare yet hugely satisfying. When my Dad, who is a diabetic read Doug’s book, he said. ‘Kitten (yes my Dad calls me his kitten) this book should be in all the schools across this nation’. I am thinking my Dad is a prophet.
Doug, tell our readers a bit about yourself and your soon to be published book.

When does your title hit the book stores?
The book will be featured in the Barnes and Nobles “New Year New You” program in January 2010 with great expectations. It will also be available in all book stores and book seller web sites.
How did you research for this book? Where do you get your inspiration?
I was sick of being a fat guy; nothing I did seemed to work. It was time to get control of it so I devoted all my time to finding the answers and developed my own program.
What are you hoping your writing to accomplish?
I would like to cure obesity and type two diabetes in every human being in need that I can reach worldwide. I have the answers and I won’t rest until I’ve made a major dent in the problem.
How are you using state-of-the-art technology in your everyday writing life?
I like the social networks, Face Book, My Space, You Tube. These give me the opportunity to talk to many people who need my help. Computers have taken the place of the trusted Underwood and open all doors for each of us. The world is a VERY small place with the internet.
Is there an area in your writing that you are working on developing more?
I can now use three fingers when I type, I’m shooting for four
Have you had to overcome any obstacles in your writing journey?
The FAT TO SKINNY manuscript was rejected by 56 agents and publishers over a period of 90 days. As all of you know, that’s very disheartening. I self published because I thought they were all idiots for not seeing the magic of the book….then came Diana
What is the most important thing on your current ‘To Do ‘ list?
Finishing this interview… no just kidding. The FAT TO SKINNY Low Sugar Low Carb Cookbook (350 pages) The FAT TO SKINNY Low Sugar Low Carb Product Guide (175 pages) and The FAT TO SKINNY Sugar and Carb Counter (115 pages) are all within sight of finalization, it’s been a busy summer.
What has been the hardest part of writing your book?
That finger thing again, just keep on pecking away.
What do you hope people will take away from reading your book?
I hope people see the simplicity of weight loss and good health. I hope people find their answers to a longer and healthier life by following my lead.
