Happy New Year, Happy 2020, here is to a healthy new decade! My very first review for 2020, is going to be all about Diet MD, part of my new years goal/resolution is to be healthy and work on my weight loss journey. Kudos to Dr. Bruce Katsura of Diet MD. I always hear the commercials/ad on the radio regarding Diet MD but didn't make any commitment as I thought it would be expensive, thank you to my friend who made an appointment and have been seeing Dr. Katsura, back in September 2019, for about a month and she started losing weight. She mentioned that DietMD, is covered by insurance, you will just have to pay co-payment just like doctor's visit. We both have HMSA which covers these services, check with the staff for more information. I am so glad I made the right decision selecting HMSA for my medical coverage. I made that phone call and my initial consultation was back in October 2019.
Diet MD Hawaii is a weight loss program supervised by physician Dr. Bruce Katsura, his office is located at St. Francis Medical Center ( Paiko Building) on the 4th floor, suite 401, parking will be validated. On Thursdays, Dr. is at Aiea. The office staff is friendly and accommodating with scheduling appointments.
The initial consultation is free, allow about 2 hours for this, Dr. will go over the booklet with you, and if you decide to proceed, you will take a few test ex. blood test, BMI, blood pressure, weight, etc. Keep the booklet in a safe place as it is a lifesaver, it has lots of important information.
In case you are wondering what type of eating plan he follows, I didn't want to hear it, as I love and am addicted to Carbs and sweets. So you know that you will have to follow a low carb, no sugar, sweets way of eating. You will have to cut back on this, no excuses!! I didn't think I could do this, because I really love Carbs and sweets esp. Donuts and anything with salted caramel is my weakness. Seeing Dr. Katsura really helped me achieved my goals, I have to admit it was super hard at the beginning esp. giving up carbs and sweets but I adjusted and am enjoying. Of course during the Holidays, vacations, and weekends I had cheat days but I went back on track after.
Note, everyone's situation will be different, you will work with Dr. Katsura. He is really nice and very supportive. My appointments are scheduled every 3 weeks after my initial visit. Right now, I am on the right path on my journey and am feeling so much better than I did 3 months ago. This will be my new lifestyle change and I don't ever want to go back to my old eating habits and bad lifestyle ever again. Thank you to my friend for the recommendations and Thank you to Dr. Katsura at Diet MD. Totally recommend, if you have the same New Years goal as I do. If I can do it, you can too!!
Here is the office number for DietMD Hawaii #551-4348. My co-worker made her initial appointment for next week after I shared my experience with her.
