What kind of doctor is he? I understand that anyone can call themselves a "nutritionist" without any credentials.
I would be skeptical of his information, especially since he seems to be selling something. Was there any scientific results backing up his claims?
Oh ye of little faith...... "xxxxxxxx D.C., A.C.N. is a Chiropractor and Applied Clinical Nutritionist who specializes in weight loss through nutrition and other natural methods" There are also lots of testimonials on his site so he must know what he's doing.
He doesn't know jack. That was a thoroughly broscience list of 'facts' about diet. You only burn fat at night? REALLY??? Tell that to my body the next time I run 20 miles...:ohwell:
You don't know better than a doctor!0 -
So how large was your order of multivitamins, etc.?1

Ha, nice one. That should definitely get you more bites Jac.1 -

I haven't ordered yet. I figured with all of the people here that are interested in health/fitness like I am maybe we could come together a do a group order and get some sort of discount.1 -
That guy would make the most epic troll on here.0

How da hell are people allowed to stand in front of an audience with no apparent knowledge of the subject at hand? I'd be fired from my job in a hurry if I did that.

Yeah, and Dr. Oz is apparently a doctor also, so...
Dr. Oz is actually a pretty well respected surgeon. Doesn't mean that any of the crap he says on his tv is true but his credentials are actually pretty good.0 -
hmmmm... maybe the Chiropractor is right. Maybe the Chiropractor is wrong.
Either way, obviously people have been losing weight without using his product or following his guidelines for weight loss.
Ill stick to doing what I been doing so that I can maintain lifelong.
But thank you for the read.

Are you sure he wasn't a stand-up comedian?
Was the speaker LOLstig?0 -
Oh lordy. That's priceless! I was reading down thinking 'sort of, bit extreme, well ... ish, What the hell!?"
(You can guess where I started to say that!)0 -
It's funny to me that you all think you are smarter than a doctor........Tell me what kind of medical degrees you have please.....0

Sounds like the oncologist who does the paleo food challenges at my boss's cf box. She's an expert on nutrition because she treats cancer patients. :noway:0 -

this guy actually had cancer. A form of melanoma that starts on the inside......The doctors gave him 3 months but he gave up sugar that day and is still living many years later. He is actually the first survivor of this form of cancer. It is because cancer actually feeds on sugar.0 -
If I have parasites, then it seems like I should be losing weight at a much faster rate than I currently am. Lazy *kitten* tapeworms.1

seriously, what was the Q&A session like?0

The only way to bring your life back into balance now is to drink raspberry ketones for the next 365 days in a row! ;-)0

Meh, your doctor doesn't have one either.
The truly sad part about that list is that there are plenty of half truths that make much of it almost believable.
Take, for example, that everyone has parasites in their gut. What we don't have is an overgrowth of any one particular kind.
Worse, we have parasites on our skin! (Maybe he sells soemthing for that!)0 -
I love those speakers!!! It gives me time to level up on candy crush while getting paid for it!0

He sells one in his office0

I once heard the weight of the gut bacteria can add up to several pounds. How can I kill it all dead and realize this hidden weight loss? That would really going to ramp up that sustainable 10 pounds/week I'm expecting from cutting out carbs.0 -
I am a two time cancer survivor and none of my doctors every told me stuff like this. I would love to know who his doctors where. Mine were a team at Slone Kettering in New York City. Also with my second bout, they gave me 6 months to live, 3 months of quality life and 3 month of HELL. But I am still here 12 years later. Long windily what I am trying to get at is just please DON’T buy his product he sounds like a salesmen and nothing else. Do your own research!!0

You and me both. We must have the wrong kinds of parasites.0 -
Always good to research a company so you can weigh how many times the FDA has sanctioned them and why.0

10 - All supplements are not created equal....Vitamin Shoppe/GNC/ETC are cheap supplements and don't realy make a difference. He sells one in his office though called Standard Process and they are amazing. The others are made from oil/tar and are petroleum based products but the ones he sells are from real foods.
Ding Ding Ding!
Is he a Beachbody coach too?0
