At 311 pounds, Kirk Ripplinger knew he had to do something about his weight and health. Fed up after failing diet attempts and eating plans that did not support eating "real food", Kirk adapted an intermittent fasting and low-carb eating approach with the help of Katie at http://www.bismarckmedicalweightloss.com/. In one year, Kirk lost over 100 pounds, no longer has sleep apnea, has seen the aches and pains in his joints dissolve, went from pre-diabetic to healthy blood sugar ranges, lost 15% body fat, and lost 30.5 TOTAL INCHES off his body! He is now in a 34" waist for the first time since 8th grade, and is empowered by this sustainable lifestyle. Don't miss his amazing story!
