Posted: Sep 07 in Success Stories by

Andrew Saunders is a 24 year old graduate student at Ohio State. His diet was typical of most college students. The majority of his meals consisted of fast food, lots of carbohydrate, and processed foods. As is common with many college students, the sedentary life at school in combination with poor eating habits resulted in weight gain. Most young people do not make the connection between poor eating habits, weight gain, and health issues.

Kathy: 88 lbs lost

It was time to stop ignoring and begin taking her doctor’s advice.
