Believe it or not, the difference between these two pictures above is:
- 21 months
- 188 lbs (85 kg)
In fact, it took just 14 months to lose the last 158 lbs (11.2 pounds per month, Oct 2016 – Dec 2017)
It wasn’t only cosmetic — I’ve also been able to drop my medical prescriptions from 32 prescriptions a day to just 8. At my age…I’m estatic!
Today I feel like ‘me’ again, and for more reasons than just my body is healthier than any other time I remember. No, it’s because to get these results I also needed to take a fresh look how I think about life …and myself.
Which brings me to the next benefit I want to share with you:
I have nothing to sell you
Putting your mind and body together, you are capable of amazing things. After overcoming many of my problems, I want to be here to help you overcome yours too!
How? With a total Body and Mind Redesign, filled with personal stories from my life and those who’ve been helped by my plan.
Where I started
I used to be a chef, which was fitting, as one of my first addictions was food.
By the 1980s you can see I was already well out of shape. Stress, odd hours at work, life, family — the pressures of life built up and I sought coping mechanisms in:
Food.
Alcoholism.
Opioids.
And more…
Anything to take my mind off the fact that my body was not operating the way it was meant to.
And it really wasn’t operating well, as you’ll see next.
Life is hard for anyone
I won’t bore you with the full list of ailments, as we all have something going on with ourselves. But for a start:
- I suffered with 20 years of diabetes.
- I have had multiple heart attacks.
- I broke and fractured bones in my feet while simply walking due to my weight.
- I had my heart manually stopped-and-restarted (cardioversion).
- Sleep apnea meant I almost died while sleeping (what a way to go!)
- I had Kidney Cancer (aka Renal Cell Carcinoma).
- Alcohol & Opiods ruled my life.
- In November of 2016, my Urologist gave me a diagnosis of just 1 year to live (surprisingly, not from cancer, but one of the many other maladies ravaging my body).
Most importantly, I had missed – not only years of my own life but – my family’s life while trying to not face my own problems.
You can see why this website isn’t pulling any punches; I don’t allow myself to pull any either. That’s why my motto is:
NO EXCUSES !!
What happened next
Living a lot of my life at 408 pounds (185 kg), I’ve spent years researching diets. I tried every diet under the sun. Name a diet you’ve heard of – I’m sure I tried it …and failed at it.
For example, here’s a recent photo of me on a ‘diet’:
Finally, I took all of those experiences and all those years researching what a healthy body needs, picked what I found worked, and created a plan.
Alongside an improved mental strategy, this plan became a total Body and Mind Redesign.
The result literally saved my life, while also making me feel like I’m in my 30’s again ….well, minus the hair.
It took just 14 months for me to lose 158 pounds (October 2016 to December 2017). That’s 11.2 pounds per month! Today, my total weight loss after 21 months is 188 pounds (85 kilograms) between March 2016 to December 2017 — that’s a long-term average of 8.95 pounds per month.
Other benefits from my plan
- 20 years of diabetes? I’m now off of all pills and insulin
- Heart attacks? My heart strength has improved back to before all my health issues
- Sleep apnea? Now I sleep clear and wake up refreshed
- Alcohol and opioid dependency? I’ve given them the boot
- Missing out on life? Not any more!
And I did it without buying any miracle ‘snake oil’ pills. You know what? I really can’t believe it either. But…
I WAS SICK AND TIRED OF BEING SICK AND TIRED
Don’t put off YOUR redesign
I can’t believe it took me so long to do something so good for myself and my family. I don’t think other people should put it off any longer either, so I want to share my rocky journey in the hopes that you can be inspired by it!
Over the past year, so many people started asking what I was doing that I wrote and shared a 13-page pamphlet. After hand-delivering it to hundreds of friends, coworkers, and doctors, it worked for them too!
So I thought why not try to reach even more people who want it with this website.
- No hidden agenda
- Nothing to buy from me
- Simply supporting others in a similar place as I was
