The Medi-Shape program is designed to be totally different from orthodox diets. I have gone and looked at all the successful diets and doctors’ programs that I could find in South Africa, America and Australia and found many wonderful ideas. I isolated the most effective concepts from this and compiled, tested and ran trials until I was satisfied that we were the best. I made very sure to eliminate all drugs and medicines (because it is against my principles to apply these as a first line of treatment). Our great effort managed to produce 4 brand new capsules, combining 24 of the most effective and most popular natural products and vitamins in the diet world, which have synergistic functions and could, above all, give effective results. This was an arduous task but I believe that I eventually accomplished it. The idea is to furnish the body with all the important nourishment and vitamins, whilst more directly focusing on breaking down the excessive fat cells. The most important way in which the body (and even more so during dieting) gets rid of waste products is to excrete it through the kidneys, explaining why we encourage the intake of a physiological amount of fluids (2 to 3 liters) daily so that the kidneys can function optimally. It frees up the liver, which now has less excretion function and can metabolize fats and foods better. This further enhances the ability of the body to break down (diet) even faster without the unnecessary build-up of toxic substances and free radicals causing tiredness and fatigue. The goal of our diet is to follow a regime of foodstuffs that is readily and cheaply available and blends in with the client's life style. This regime detoxifies and cleanses the body. After this, they follow a calorie diet and eat according to their blood groups. These principles can be followed as long as they live, because it is based on a healthy diet pattern.
