Before I came to Thin Center MD this November I was in bad shape. I was gaining weight at the rate of about a pound or two each month. Nothing I had done could seem to help. I was being attentive to what I ate and it didn’t seem to make a difference. In addition to the weight gain, I was feeling sluggish and was having difficulty carrying on with my daily teaching activities. I had attributed a lot of the problems to my age (57). Additionally, my blood sugar had started to creep up so that I was considered prediabetic. This was especially troubling because diabetes and heart disease are rampant in my family and both of my parents died at younger ages due to complications of these diseases.
I came to Thin Center MD at the beginning of November. I started with a month of HCG shots and the HCG diet. I started to lose right away. Also, Dr. Capasso identified some other issues that were standing in the way of my weight loss. He discovered that I needed thyroid and B12 supplementation. After a month of HCG, I began the Fresh Diet. This is pretty simple to follow. In the four months I have been on the program, I have lost 25 pounds. While this is not dramatic, it is significant. Even more significant than the weight loss is the fact that my blood sugars are lower, my cholesterol is dropping, and I am feeling much better. I feel that I can continue to lose and, more importantly, for my health to improve. I attribute this change to Dr. Capasso and to Thin Center MD.
