What does it take to turn your life around? Glen Ellyn resident, Derek Almada was a college athlete who, after graduation started gradually putting on weight. 15 years later, the father of two young boys found himself at 365 pounds, in poor health, suffering from sleep apnea and teetering on high blood pressure. He knew something had to change.
After many years of unsuccessful yo-yo dieting, at age 40 he signed up for Seattle Sutton’s Healthy Eating’s (SSHE) 1,200 calorie/day meal plan and the rest is history! Eating nothing but SSHE’s freshly prepared meals, one year later Derek is 141 pounds lighter. Weighing in at 224 pounds, Derek is happier and healthier than ever and is a new dad to his two sons who have never seen him this thin. “I did it for them” says Derek, “I want to be able to play ball with them and be there to watch them grow up.”
