I was worried by my weight.
The doctor told me that I was pre-diabetic and had high liver fat and that full blown consequences were next. So I wanted to lose the weight for medical reasons and also to restore my mobility. I did a lot of sports when I was younger and I just didn't like the look of my waistline anymore. I couldn't even see my feet in my shoes any longer.
My wife had previously gone to Dr. Nelson Daniel's Weight Loss Clinic on Lawrence Road near McCowan and I decided to head to the clinic. Dr. Daniels gave fundamental insights into how to safely lose a large amount of weight over as short a period of possible WITHOUT drugs - but with will power and proper food selection.
Dr. Daniels diet focuses on losing weight in a balance 75% by food intake and 25% by exercise combined with a diet that focuses on high quality, high protein and low carbohydrates. It's kind of a Mediterranean diet but without rice or bread - it's a little hard to get into at first but now when I shop, I shop for quality food first instead of buying any of the carbs or junk that I used to buy. And it's cheaper to buy lower amounts of better quality food.
And the results are there. I lost 50 pounds in 5 months and am looking to go on the maintenance diet where I will be able to add a little more variety and just stay balanced in future.
The health benefits are also proven - on my last doctor's visit, she noted that I am NO LONGER diabetically inclined and my fatty liver has disappeared (fatty liver is an early stage of liver cirrhosis). As well, I have the physical mobility that I had 20 years ago. It's been a revelation.
Dr. Daniels diet is not for the weak hearted but it works if you are a dedicated individual and want to restore your health balance and perhaps your sanity a bit. Dr. Daniels Weight Loss Clinic is at 416-439-6711. read more
