Weight Loss

When most people decide they need weight loss, it is because their current diet is so bad and unstructured, they need help.  At that point, almost any dietary restriction and structure will help them lose weight and cause them to fall in love with their chosen diet.  But, many people pick diets that are not practical to maintain causing the weight to return.  This causes many people to give up on weight loss.

Dr. Barrett has designed a diet that is not only self-sustainable in the long term, but it will also help you manage stress making it a win : win situation.  Dr. Barrett’s diet includes a strategic use of minimal carbohydrate intake along with adequate protein and healthy fat consumption combined with moderate intermittent fasting.  Dr. Barrett will bench mark your current weight, body mass index, body fat and muscle percentage, and resting metabolism.  Dr. Barrett’s diet is designed to lose body fat while maintaining lean muscle matter.  Dr. Barrett combines the science of biochemistry of Western Medicine with the 2000 years wisdom of Eastern Medicine for a natural, safe, effective and self-sustainable method of weight loss for optimal health, wellness and longevity.
