As a physician, I have had many patients who struggle with their weight. When two of my patients lost and kept off their excess weight for over a year, I was intrigued. I had watched my wife’s frustration as she tried many diet plans with moderate success, only to regain the weight, leaving her feeling defeated. Her diabetes was out of control with an A1C at 10.4. She was taking 6 pills a day, and much to her horror, was scheduled to begin insulin injections. Nubody was her last chance to dodge the needle. Within a few months she had significant weight loss and her A1C had dropped to 5.6, and best of all she was no longer taking any medication. Nubody . . . for a new life! —James K. Abshire, MD James K. Abshire, MD
