My name is Lachiel Moore and I am 36 years old. I have struggled with being over weight since having my first child almost 13 years ago. I was getting short tempered with my husband and children, very tired all the time, drank a lot of sodas and ate chocolate all the time. Since starting my program at Multi-Care Holistic Health I am a lot calmer with my husband and children, I have more energy and sleep better. I also quit drinking soda and eating chocolate because I have no desire for them.

I started my program after seeing my mom loose 102 lbs in 8 ? months. She has encouraged me through this and without her and the awesome people at Multi-Care; I would not be able to do this.

In 6 shorts weeks I have lost 19 lbs and I feel great. I ?? ??m not hungry and I don ?? ??t have cravings like I always did with the other diets I ?? ??ve been on.

Thank you to the doctors and staff of Multi-Care Holistic Health ?? ?you are awesome!

Love always,

Lachiel

*UPDATE- Lachiel has now lost 32 lbs. in a total of 2 months!

My name is Keith McDaniel.I am 59 years old and have struggled with my weight for 10 years. I had tried going to the gym and fitness clubs nothing worked I saw the Multi-care Holistic Health flyer and everything matched how I was feeling.

After meeting with Dr. Johnson we came up with a personal nutritional plan that would be best for me he recommended starting HCG. I was a little nervous at first but knew it would be right for me and I trusted Dr. Johnson and his recommendations.

Once I started HCG the results can quickly my clothes fit better my energy level went up unbelievably. Before I can even go up a flight of steps without getting out of breath now I not only keep my breath but can go up the steps even faster than before

I recently had to start buying new clothes because even my underwear's were falling off I went from a size 50 pants and now wear a loose 44. My shirt size was a 4x, now I'm in a 2x. My total weight loss so far is 55 1/2 lbs. in 5 months. I still need to lose more weight but I know now how to do it.

HCG helped me to get a good jump start to my weight loss and help me getting control of my food cravings

I know now that the foods that taste and look good are not always good for me.

I've had a weight problem since my youngest child was born. No matter what diet I tried or how I tried to exercise, I was unable to lose weight and keep it off. I was hungry all the time, even if I had eaten three square meals that day. During the day I was busy with work, the children and taking care of a home but at night after all my responsibilities were taken care of I thought I was starving and would eat until I was stuffed. I used food as a comfort and a reward for being superwoman.

I developed high blood pressure and next came high cholesterol. A few years later my medical doctor advised me that my glucose levels was elevated. I was diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. I knew that I must find a way to adjust my eating habits and increase my activity level. I began to read about all sorts of programs and plans but was never able to decide which would be the best for me and the easiest to follow. After reading and studying various plans for six months, I went to the beach with girlfriends for our annual vacation over Memorial Day. Several of us talked about our overweight situations and what we have tried to improve our health. I wasn't ready to make a decision until one day my best friend was taking me to the airport. I was changing from flip flops to comfortable walking shoes and had difficulty reaching my feet to tie my shoes. I can't describe how humiliated I felt. I went home determined to beat my battle of the bulge.

I began to diet and count my calories. I began with 1500 calories a day and the weight came off quickly but I was still hungry all the time. I extended my daily walk to increase my weight loss.After about a month I had lost 14 lbs. I was pleased with the results but I knew it was only temporary because I was still craving bread and sweets. I knew that I was very close to cheating and gaining it all back.

I had received several local newspapers that contained an advertisement tabloid insert from Multi-Care. I had looked it over before and even read several of the articles I was specifically interested in the article titled ??œWhich hormones aremaking you fat? ?? ? I looked at the pictures very closely and decided which body type compared to mine. There was a free workshop being offered the following Saturday. I called a friend and we decided to go to the workshop together. Dr. Johnson told us a great deal about why we struggle with weight and other health issues. I decided that I would make an appointment for the free consultation Dr. Johnson offered. I wanted to find out why I crave certain foods, why I wasn't sleeping well and if I had a hormonal imbalance that was causing my problems and if there was a remedy short of prescription drugs.

During the free consultation, I sensed that I had found what I needed to get started to improve my health. After my initial exam, I was not pressured to sign up for the plan but was encouraged by Dr. Johnson to take a step towards restoring my health. I was eager to get started. After following the program for 5 months, a little over 50 lbs has melted away, I sleep great every night, my cholesterol level has returned to normal as has my glucose level and my medical doctor has reduced my BP medication to one-half the dosage that I had been taking for eight years. I no longer crave sweets and bread and have learned what types of food I need to eat to nourish and heal my body. I eat three very satisfying meals a day, two snacks and drink a gallon of water a day. I see Dr. Dave once a month and look forward to re-evaluations and pep talks during the visit. A few weeks ago I packed up all my clothes that no longer fit and donated them to charity. I didn't store them just in case I needed them in the future because this time my weight loss is permanent.

Thanks Multi-Care:

I heard about Multi-Care from a flyer I received in the mail. I am 61 years old and had been trying to lose 30lbs for about a year. I tried many different diets, exercising, and walking 2 miles every day. I even skipped meals to try and lose the weight. Since nothing was working, it made me feel disgusted and depressed because I wasn ?? ??t able to lose it even trying everything I knew.

It really bothered me when I bent down to tie my shoes and my belly would get in the way. Also I avoided looking in the mirror. I also had high blood pressure and high cholesterol and I was very concerned.

After reading the flyer, I decided to come to Multi-Care. When I first came in I weighed 206 lbs. I am now down to 179 lbs, my blood pressure is now at 122/83 and I ?? ??ll be getting my cholesterol checked next week and look forward to getting those results.

I feel so good and feel like I am 25 years old again! I feel like kicking up my heels I am so happy! I can tie my shoes without my belly getting in the way, I have great energy, I now run 1 mile and walk another 2 miles every day, and I feel so good.

I am also sleeping better, and just am very happy with my success. You will love this clinic. The staff is nice and you will love them all. I enjoy my visits every time I come in.

I was sick and tired of all the diet plans and not having any success. One of my co-workers was getting married and wanted to lose weight so he'd be ??œbuff ?? ? for his wedding. One day he came in with some food he received from a diet he was placed on. I watched his amazing progress and was impressed at his success ?? ??right before my very eyes! I asked him where he went (knowing it was a doctor's office) and if they were taking new patients. He told me the clinic was called Multi-Care, so I called them and made an appointment for the beginning of December.

I had about 50 pounds to lose to be at my ??œideal ?? ? weight, my cholesterol was skyrocketing, and I was depressed about it all. I couldn't sleep either! My cholesterol was 267 when I began in December. I was on a statin medication from my PCP and it didn't seem to be lowering my cholesterol as much as we both wanted it to.

Now, my cholesterol is down to 176 (almost 100 points!!) and I feel great! My nights are more restful, I don't stress out over the least little thing and my husband is much happier because I'm easier to be around!

I've lost 25 pounds so far and still dropping! That's half my goal weight in 3 months! I feel like I can keep the weight off and my cholesterol down now with the new eating plan I've learned. Knowing how my body reacts to certain foods was very helpful in developing my new eating habits. I'm excited and very pumped about my progress! I have people ask me all the time what I'm doing and I gladly tell them to call Multi-Care and give them Dr Johnson's office number!!

Thank you Dr Johnson and Staff!

Sincerely,

I notice that my clothes are getting to big; I feel great and most of all I am happy to say that my blood pressure is down from 146/100 to 124/76.

This will be my last diet. I would recommend this program for anyone who wants to feel good and look good.

My name is Mr. Howard and I have been on Ideal Protein for 2 ? months. I have lost 28 ? lbs. Recently I had my annual blood work drawn and my doctor and myself were pleased with the results. My cholesterol is down to 176, HDL was 18 and is now 35, and my triglycerides went from 1068 down to 104! My blood pressure is 116/72. I also have no more headaches and acid reflux. I ?? ??m feeling great!

My success story started when I first came to Multi-Care for some other health issues and no other doctor could figure out what was wrong. Dr. Dave talked to me about Ideal Protein and suggested I meet with Karen, the Ideal Protein coach. I was at a point in my life where I didnâ ?? ??t want my children embarrassed of what their mother looked like. I wasnâ ?? ??t extremely overweight but I was overweight. Once I started I was amazed with the results, my initial goal was to lose 40 lbs. and I had already lost 10 lbs with the help of Dr. Dave and once I started Ideal Protein my weight was coming off in 3 lb. increments on a weekly basis. I did not cheat and worked out for at least 30 minutes on my elliptical and every other night I added 15 minutes of weight lifting. Once I lost 90% of my weight loss goal I hit a spot where I couldnâ ?? ??t lose anymore. I was getting very discouraged but Karen worked with me and motivated me and I did finally lose the last few lbs. My friends and family cannot believe what I look like. I started wearing a size 10-12 pants and now I am in a 4. My shirts went from a large or x-large to a medium. I lost 29.5 lbs. on Ideal Protein and 29 inches. My husband says I am high school skinny again. One thing I never thought I would wear again but bought one this weekend was a bikini for the summer. This works! You donâ ?? ??t have the cravings that most diets give you. You also donâ ?? ??t miss the food you were eating once you get a couple of weeks into the diet. My favorite Ideal protein foods are the BBQ ridges, Salt & Vinegar Ridges and the Chocolate Drink.
