Nick’s Success Story

1. What would you say to anyone searching for a weight loss option or considering making their first call to SWLC?
I wish I would have come here first. We spend all our time reacting to the next great weight loss tip or program. It might work for a while, but does not last and we end up yo-yoing from one fad to the next – as we gain more weight.

2. What are your biggest wins so far from your weight loss program at SWLC? What specific changes have you noticed in your body, or in your life?
I lost fat without losing muscle. I look lean proportional and, best of all, I have lost 4 inches in the belly area.

3. What are you most proud of in terms of what you’ve accomplished so far with your weight loss?
Learning how to manage the mental side of a health journey, which is understanding that cravings are mental and not true hunger. Using this tool I was able to stay on track and seeing my weekly success provided the ongoing motivation.

4. What specifically did you like most about SWLC and the program you are/were on?
The combination of weekly check-ins along with great meal replacement products.

5. What made SWLC’s program different from what you’ve tried in the past?
The weekly management under the supervision of a medical doctor, Dr. Ziltzer. And I cannot say enough about the meal replacement products. I don’t even take vitamins anymore because they are so rich in vitamins and key minerals.

6. Why did you choose SWLC?
They were recommended by another doctor and, frankly, I thought they were a last resort. I was skeptical because I was so convinced that I had been doing the right things but that somehow aging finally took over and I couldn’t beat it anymore. WRONG!

7. What was it like before you started SWLC?
I had ballooned to 265 LBS and even though I’m 6 feet tall I looked like someone inflated me, especially my face. I reluctantly joined in pictures. I worked with a nutritionist to cut calories, and I lost lots of LBS but in a year, plateaued and started to increase in size again. Yoyo dieting took over and got me down some more, but I never got near where I am now and was stressed about the swings all the time.

8. What was your motivation for seeking SWLC?
I have a hobby/passion that I started 3 years ago. I now compete in National Ballroom Dance competitions in the Pro/Am division. I have a great professional instructor and partner and we do quite well. Looking great in those clothes make you feel like a pro, and after all, it IS a performance driven sport. Not to mention I am better now.

9. What made SWLC stand out from other programs and diets?
The staff and medical doctor weekly supervision along with the great food replacements.

10, What was the obstacle that almost prevented you from doing SWLC?
I was convinced that I was doing everything that could possibly be done.

11. What made you happiest about working with SWLC?
Feeling that people that cared had my back. And never underestimate the power of going there for a weekly weigh-in.

12. What have you been able to achieve since SWLC?
On a frame that was not too bad, but had gained 4 inches of belly fat and regained 27 LBS over the past 3 years I have now lost the 4 inches in my belly, I’m down 24 LBS and can fit in my former ballroom dance clothes again. The coolest part it that I’m not done, I can get to the next level of health and get to a physique I never thought I could have.

13. What exceeded your expectations since working with us?
The friendly care, the food replacements and the care of Dr. Ziltzer, who, I believe truly understood, on a individual basis, what would best work for me. He was right.

14. What’s the main reason you would recommend SWLC to a friend or family member?
Show them a before picture

15. What about SWLC surprised you the most?
How easy they made it to start.

16. What would you tell someone who’s considering SWLC?
If you truly want to lose weight while looking your best and feeling great energy again, go see Dr. Ziltzer. What do you have to lose?

17. Is there anything else that you would like to comment on or say about SWLC?
I can’t thank you enough for the wonderful results.
