 Or do you embrace something called PhD weight loss, something that led to my 53 pounds of weight loss? Everybody I know who's PhD has lost a ton of weight, and we've kept it off because Dr. Ashley Lucas's program is brilliant. She taught me that getting healthy shouldn't make you sick. It shouldn't make you dependent on a shot. You need the freedom to eat what you want to eat and to know what to eat, to know what not to eat, and to never be hungry. You know the joy of my 53 pounds of weight loss?
