An Australian doctor has revealed the secrets behind his weight loss, after he lost an impressive 9.2 kilograms in just six weeks.
GP Dr Phillip Wuth, from Brisbane, and Founder of The Doctor's Kitchen Australia was carrying excessive levels of body fat six weeks ago when he tipped the scales at 101.1kg, and he knew he needed to make a change to his diet and exercise regime.
Today, Dr Wuth has dropped to 91.9kg, cut down his metabolic age from 50 years to 43 years and got rid of 2.4 per cent of unhealthy body fat.
Even better, he has taken his visceral fat rating from a 'high level' of 10.5 to a healthier level of 9.
Styled by the Queen of Style, Cate Massi from IndividualStyle101, to refresh and empower Dr Wuth to recognise just how significant his weight loss efforts have been after just 6 weeks, his results are amazing!

Now and almost 10 kgs lighter, Dr Wuth no longer resembles the image on official posters.
"Excess body fat is associated with significant risk of metabolic diseases like diabetes and I have a strong family history of these issues," Dr Wuth said.
"I knew I needed to "walk the walk" and show what is possible with a preventative approach to health and disease prevention."
When it came to how he lost the weight, Dr Wuth said the most important thing was tweaking his diet.
Here are Dr Wuth’s measurements after his first and last weigh in:

The changes Dr Wuth has made in his eating and exercise habits have done more than reverse his overall weight. “All my numbers improved in just 6 weeks,” he said, including his blood pressure and cholesterol levels, which are now in a healthy range, thereby lowering his risk for heart disease and stroke.
"I started consuming 1,500 calories per day and following the The Doctor's prescribed weight loss meal program," Dr Wuth.
Ready-to-eat meals based around a 1,500 calorie plan were sent to Dr Wuth each week.
He then enjoyed the likes of the Berry Toasty Granola, Youjuice Getcha Greens, Cranberry Roast Chicken & Potato Bake and Korean BBQ Beef Noodles on a typical given day:
"The key is to eat fewer calories than you expend and monitor your vital stats like your body fat and muscle mass," Dr Wuth said.
Dr Wuth would eat the meals from Youfoodz and The Doctor's Kitchen five days a week and prepare his own meals for two days of the week.
"I found that keeping my protein intake high was key to fuelling fat burn," Dr Wuth said.
"Keeping your protein intake high helps to preserve your health and muscle mass while losing weight, and it also keeps you fuller for longer, reduces your appetite, speeds up the metabolism and helps to prevent weight gain after weight loss."
Alongside the calorie-controlled meals, the doctor also followed an exercise program comprising resistance-based movements like squats and lunges that worked his entire body.
He tracked his vital statistics including body fat and muscle mass each week using special bio-impedance composition scales and monitored all of his progress by writing down how far he'd come.
"Unlike ordinary scales that record only body weight, the Doctor's bio-impedance scales provides additional data such as body fat, abdominal fat, muscle mass and basal metabolic rate (BMR) (the number of calories your body burns at rest)," Dr Wuth said.
"New research has found that these are the numbers that matter and can be the key to losing weight and keeping it off."
What are the Doctor's secrets to lasting weight loss?
Dr Wuth says that the secret to losing weight and keeping it off is checking in with a prescribing Doctor and tracking your vital stats (body fat and muscle mass) using the bio-impedance composition scales.
"Knowing how much fat and muscle you have and your BMR (the number of calories your body burns at rest) will allow our prescribing Doctors to put together a plan to help accelerate your weight loss and prevent weight re-gain." Dr Wuth said.
Dr Wuth’s transformation should motivate you to think differently about your health and to take this opportunity to take care of yourself now for your future.
