Dr. Ellis, a 53 year old anesthesiologist, lost 120 lbs over 18 months by retraining his brain (and pancreas) by altering his diet and adding regular exercise to his regime. Be the tortoise, not the hare!
Hello…..I am a 43 yr old businessman, and I would really like to lose the belly….it’s hard getting started and keeping at it, for I feel if I did, I would okay and lose the belly…that’s the only weight, my belly. I am 5’9” and 221 lbs…(44 to 46 jacket; 38 to 40 waist)…feel I need to be around 200 lb’s to be healthy…please help me.
Keep reading the blog for suggestions. I’d recommend Dr. Roizen and Oz’s book, or the Structure House book (see Dr. Ellis’ Amazon recs on the right-hand side of the screen). Commit to 30 min/day walking. Stop sodas, and replace with water. Prepare your own meals from “scratch” as much as possible. Get a weight-loss buddy. For other starting tips, see http://goo.gl/TsBm
These are generic recommendations, and do not replace seeing your doctor, who can make recommendations in light of your particular situation and conditions.
wow, i didn’t know you had a blog about this! i can’t wait to read it. i think you should have a full sized before and after photos in this section to really give people an idea of what losing 120 pounds looks like.
btw, congratulations on the weight loss. i don’t know if i ever told you that before!!
John….I know I congratulated you on your WT Loss before, but I feel the need to say it again… I am really proud of you. I also love this website. I think that you need to start a Structured Living house here in Chicago, as thats been my biggest problem. Getting started and restructuring my life.
Anyway… congrats… looks like GREAT things are going on with the Ellis family!

Using BMI calculator @ http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/, you’re obese; BMI = 32.6. Like 1/3 of Americans!

Congrats on the weight loss! I’ve just started trying to lose too. I have 144 pounds to lose, but I’m going to take it slow.
