Transformed by low carb and fasting: A doctor’s story

When Dr. Kevin Gendreau’s sister was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, his own weight had reached 300 lbs. Shocked by the discovery of his sister’s illness, Dr. Gendreau was forced to turn to his own health conditions of obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, plantar fasciitis and fatty liver disease. He knew he had to do something.

He started out on a low carb, whole food diet and when his weight loss hit a plateau, Dr. Jason Fung‘s book The Obesity Code gave him the knowledge he needed to implement intermittent fasting, too. He has now lost 125 lbs and has begun recommending his routine to his diabetic and pre-diabetic patients. He reported to People Magazine that once he had made the “black-and-white decision to stop being unhealthy, everything else just fell into place”.

He uploaded the following image to his Instagram profile as inspiration to others who suffer from overweight and ill health.

Congratulations to Dr. Gendreau for this incredible and inspiring success story, and for helping his patients achieve the same fantastic results.
