The History
It all started in high school when my mother, the primary breadwinner of the family, unexpectedly passed away. We lost so much: the car, good, home-cooked meals every day, and most importantly, my mom.
I didn't deal with it well. Food and my health were just not important for a long time.
Food pantries, hand-outs, and some meals at relatives' houses filled in the gaps, but, they weren't necessarily the healthiest of options. Beggars can't be choosers, after all.
Fast-forward to a chest-pain induced trip to an urgent clinic in my late 20s along with rising blood-sugar levels. My wife even told me my belly was the biggest she had yet seen it. Something had to change.
At this point, I had a good job and could afford better food. But, I wasn't really sure what "better" meant.
I tried everything from to counting calories to adding up more food-score values than a basketball game has points. I cut carbs. I cut fats. I even cut out animal products and went vegan for a while. Gluten free: did that, too. You name it, I likely tried it.
The weight MAYBE came off, but, when it did, it came right back on soon after.
With advanced degrees in science, I decided then that it was time to use my knowledge of science and data to find an answer for myself once and for all.
After many books, articles, studies, and my own research later, the Density Diet was born.
Now with fitness training, more evidence, a tried and true training method, and continued weight-management success, the program is better than ever.
