I have been a client of Dr. David Plourde since February 2013. Having a background in science myself, I can attest that Dr. Plourde’s method is scientifically based and scientifically proven. Having said that, you can only expect a very high rate of success for his clients. The whole team at the Plourde Institute is great. Dr. Plourde, Chef Sonny Weiss and Magdalena are the most knowledgable, caring, and supporting team I have ever known. They treat you with the utmost care and respect. They make you feel like family, a good family. The system works. If you follow Dr. Plourde’s instructions you will loose weight and he will predict with accuracy how much weight you will loose per week. I went from 235 to 189 pounds in four months. In the best shape of my entire life. Went from pants size 38 to 32. I am 50 years old and the last time I wore a size 32 pair of pants was in 1989 when I was 17 years old. If you are serious and committed to follow Dr. Plourde’s plan, you will succeed, guaranteed. And there is no way you can trick them. They will test you to know if you have followed the plan or not. Dr Plourde follows up with his clients on a daily basis via text messages. Even when I am on an overseas trip I get a daily text message from him. You will be blown away by the delicious dishes prepared by Chef Sonny Weiss. Absolutely amazing. Magdalena, Dr. Plourde’s assistant, is great. She is dedicated to all the clients and, as Dr. Plourde and Chef Sony, she makes sure you experience is a great one. As a physician and a client, I recommend Dr. Plourde’s program and his staff to help you loose the excess pounds and be in the best shape of your life. Luis Martinez, MD.
