Alison Nieman, 24, Akron Ohio. Alison must be applauded. She is our youngest participant. Alison works as an interior designer for La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries. She has a degree in design from Ohio State University. Alison also runs a crochet shop called A. Nieman Crochet through the website Etsy.com. Alison has been actively trying to reduce her footprint on the environment through changes in her lifestyle. “The reason she felt this diet would be good is that I am completely dependent on shopping,” says Alison. “ I have an addiction to spending money on clothes, accessories and primarily shoes. I know my habit isn't good for my finances nor is it good for the environment.” Alison says she has an adequate wardrobe and needs to use it to its fullest. When she read the rules of participation she immediately thought, "this is for me." “I am looking forward to participating in the diet! Thank you so much for starting this, it is such a great idea!”
