Patch: How did you get involved in the health/weight loss industry?
Pamela Avis: After I turned 50, I started gaining weight rapidly. Though I tried dieting, it wasn't working. I would diet all month and only lose two pounds. Something else was definitely going on. I found out I was storing fat due to hormone shifts and other contributing factors. That's when I started the Mass Fat Loss diet.
Patch: Can you tell us a little bit about your staff and their backgrounds?
Pamela Avis: I was Vice President and director of one of the larger weight loss clinics and worked on the research for this program extensively helping hundreds of people reach goals they thought were impossible. We also have a doctor, a clinician and a nurse.
Patch: Do you have any success stories you are most proud of?
Pamela Avis: We love working with older people because the program works whether you are 18 or 78. Don D. was a local firefighter who was told he had to lose weight to resume his job. He reached his goal in 40 days. We have many people like this.
Patch: How does your weight loss system stand out from the competition?
Pamela Avis: One in five Americans will die from an obesity-related disease. When you get rid of the weight, some of your health issues can be avoided or reversed. With such an epidemic of co-existing diseases, people must think about losing the weight. We bring the body into balance with our homeopathic, botanical and organic program. We customize our weight loss program to your body.
