Over the last 2 1/2 months I have lost 30 pounds. Every one I run into notices then asks “how did you do it” over the next few weeks I will give you my program. I will try and blog two times a week.
My diet started the week before Thanksgiving. I weighed myself and was amazed to find out I had reached 232 pounds. So on Thanksgiving Day I started my new program.
Most of my readers, patients, friends and family know that I run The Beverly Hills Comprehensive Medical Group. I am a chiropractor and work with three medical doctors, and a physical therapist. I have a very successful Beverly Hills practice that includes the usual celebrities, agents and managers.
I feel I should give you some background on my eating and exercise program. I spared no expense designing this program. I own a gym with personal trainers, I hired a dietitian I had my assistants doing research. I read various books and talked to some of the best celebrity personal trainers in Los Angeles.
My exercise experience comes from many avenues. One of my close friends is Valerie Waters she has trained every major celebrity Cindy Crawford to Jennifer Gardner. I had the fantastic experience of working with Jackie Warner the TV show work out and Julian Michaels from the biggest loser. They both trained their private clients in my office for approximately 1 year before they opened Sky Sport in Beverly Hills.
My personal nutritionist/dietitian is Hermien Lee, R.D.M.S. I also read Michael Thurmond’s body makeover, Dr. Sears zone and anti-inflammatory books, protein power, Atkins, Dean Ornish’s book, the South Beach diet, Body For Life, the glycemic index diet, the cover model diet and Abs Diet. I subscribe to the burn the fat newsletter (Tom Ventno) and the ultra metabolism newsletter (I’ve also read both their books).
Part of my eating habits have been modified with the help of patients who were bodybuilders, fitness models and competitive fitness coaches.
Most of my vitamin supplementation information comes from Dr. Sears, Dr Mark Hymen, Dr Perricone and Bill Phillips’s book on supplementation.
My Goal weight for Feb 25, 2008 was 195lbs my actual weight was 193lbs I have since added 4 lbs of muscle and lost 2lbs more of body fat so todays weight with shoes, clothes glasses and my watch is 196lbs.
My Body fat was 29.4% on November 25, 2007. Today it’s at 16.4%. I know everybody says you need single digit body fat or below 12% to see your abs but I can see them now.
232 -195= 37lbs
I will try to post on Wednesday but until now try writing down everything that you eat. Everything that passes through your lips gets written down, you will be amazed at how much and what you eat each day.
Yours in health, Daniel Jacobsen, DC
clinic administrator of the Beverly Hills comprehensive Medical Group
