This is my story, and it might be yours too.
I’m going to say it: we are meant to be insulin sensitive.
But thanks to the modern American diet, most of us are drowning in sustained, elevated insulin levels, and it’s destroying our health. The human body was never designed to handle this constant carb overload—and it’s why so many of us are stuck, frustrated, and defeated.
At 278 pounds, I felt lost. I looked in the mirror and couldn’t even see the weight anymore, so I took a picture. And when I looked at it on my phone, I didn’t recognize myself.
I was exhausted, angry, and completely stuck. The worst part? I felt invisible—like my weight was all people saw. If you’ve ever felt that way, you’re not alone. I had tried everything, including endless rounds of Whole30. Spoiler: eating ‘as much as you want’ of foods that still spike your insulin doesn’t work. It’s just a miserable, slow grind that leaves you wondering what’s wrong with you.
That’s when I said enough is enough. I stopped following the myths and started eating the way my body was designed to function. After all, what did I have to lose -- nothing else has worked?
Today, as I write this I know exactly how my body works and I want to share it with you!
What happened next changed everything.
The person in the first two pictures wasn’t thriving. I was tired, frustrated, and invisible. Everything changed when I made one simple decision: to stop following the rules of diets that don’t work and start fueling my body the way it was designed to—with 70% of my calories coming from fat and the right mix of fat. Looking back, it was the best decision I’ve ever made.
In just 149 days, I’ve lost 50 pounds. The journey has been simple, sustainable, and eye-opening. Through the Dietary Fat Method (DFM), I’ve discovered how to control insulin—the fat storage hormone—and master the modern American diet. On average, I’ve lost a healthy 2.4 pounds per week, but the transformation goes far beyond the scale.
My mental clarity is sharper, my energy levels are higher, and my sleep has never been better. I no longer snore, I heal faster, and I accomplish more every day. DFM isn’t just a way to lose weight—it’s a way to live. It’s a path I’ll continue for the rest of my life.
I have mastered this and so can you!

278 pounds and the day we started DFM. This was my wake-up call picture.

Down 50 pounds to 228 pounds and won't stop until I get to 205 pounds. Size large shirt.
I want you to know that this is simple. It’s a lifestyle, and it’s absolutely possible. Freedom is possible.
Before we dive into why diets fail, let’s rethink the word ‘diet.’ The American diet wasn’t supposed to be what it is today—processed, carb-heavy, and designed to keep us stuck. But there is a way out, and it’s so simple: control your insulin, the fat storage hormone, and you’ll take control of your metabolic health.
The United States is approaching, or may have already passed, 50% obesity. But this trend isn’t permanent—it can be reversed.
Why Diets Fail
Most diets fight your body instead of working with it. They leave you hungry, frustrated, and stuck in a cycle of failure.
- They’re overly complicated, making it impossible to stick to long-term.
- They lure you in with quick-fix promises but fail to deliver lasting results.
- They completely ignore how insulin and hormones control fat storage and energy.
The result? You stay stuck, hungry, and defeated—blaming yourself when the problem is the diet, not you.
What is DFM?
The good news? There’s a better way—one that works with your body instead of against it. That’s where the Dietary Fat Method comes in.
- Burn Fat Without Starving: DFM works by keeping insulin low, where it should be, allowing your body to burn fat for fuel instead of storing it—no hunger, no frustration.
- Feel Full and Energized: By fueling your body with 70% of calories from fat, you stay satisfied and energized all day long.
- Simple and Sustainable: Forget calorie counting or complicated rules. DFM is easy to follow and designed for real life. You cannot overeat on DFM because your hormones will be in balanced (leptin, ghrelin, CCK, and PYY).
Backed by Science, Proven by Results: DFM aligns with how your body is naturally designed to work, helping you lose weight and improve energy, mental clarity, and sleep.
Simplicity Driven by Hormone Balance
Insulin in Check: By controlling the fat-storage hormone, DFM helps your body burn fat instead of storing it.
Effortless Fat Loss: Focus on eating the right foods, and let your hormones do the heavy lifting—no complicated tracking required.
Sustainable Energy: Balance your blood sugar and hormones to feel energized all day, without crashes or cravings.
Real Food, Real Results: No gimmicks, just simple, nutrient-dense meals that work with your body’s natural design.
