Our Rockstar for
this month is David Danielson
“When I turned 40 last year and found myself at more than 60 pounds above my healthy weight, I realized that it was time to take some serious action to improve my health to make sure I live to see my kids grow up, get married, and have kids of their own. But, to be honest, I didn’t know where to go for help. My doctor had told me multiple times over the past few years that I was “morbidly obese” and that I really needed to lose weight, but they never told me HOW. Through the 90-day Enara VLCD program, I’ve now lost more than 58 pounds and I just feel great. And even more importantly, the Enara program has taught me – and will continue to teach me – how to eat and live healthily for the rest of my life.”
