Testimonials
Here are just a few reviews of the program/contest and how Dr. Gordon Kuang has affected participants/patients lives! Look for before and after pictures of past winners!
“I had taken a “Live Life Lighter” program at the Green Spa to lose weight and become healthier. I wanted to take a program where a nutritionist was involved so that I can continue to follow the foods I should be eating. I didn’t want something short term. I didn’t want to go on any diets cause they just don’t work. Here I was in this wonderful program where we all met with a nutritionist, Dr. Gordon Kuang C.S.C.S., ever single week. It was great! Dr. Gordon Kuang taught us how to modify our eating lifestyle for the better and to continue that lifestyle for the rest of our lives. Each week he chose a different topic. We learned how to read labels, what type of vitamins to take, how to grocery shop properly, bad foods, good foods,etc. Dr. Gordon Kuang’s classes were very interesting and it’s obvious he has a lot of experience and knowledge. It was a pleasure to meet him and have him as our nutritionist. I learned so many different things on nutrition and how to incorporate it into my everyday eating habit. I had won the 12-week program. I had lost 5% body fat and 11.4% body weight loss. Thank you Dr. Gordon Kuang. You made a difference in my life. Dr. Gordon Kuang keep up the good work. You have inspired me to stay healthy forever.”

“The Live Life Lighter Program with Dr. Gordon Kuang and staff has honestly changed my life. I not only lost weight I changed my entire life. I learned how to really eat properly and keep myself active. I look at life differently and I’m a lot happier because of everything I learned. This wasn’t just a contest for me it has become a journey. All my thanks go to Dr. Gordon for all his guidance.
-Jennifer M. Alemany (Contest Winner – started early and continued for 3 extra months = 8.4% of body mass, counting the time before and after the contest she has lost about 15% of total body mass)
“I am pleased to write a testimonial for Dr. Gordon Kuang’s Live Life Lighter program. The program worked for me! Dr. Gordon is extremely knowledgable about the cutting edge research on nutrtion and weight loss. His program will educate you in nutritional and life style choices that will put you on the path of reaching a healthy weight. The program will work for you if you are committed to losing weight, giving up unhealthy foods and exercising. You will not feel hungry or exhausted. You will actually feel healthier and have more energy. As you rid you body of white flour, sugar and saturated fats and replace them with whole grains, fiber and healthy fats you will gain control over food addictions that are inherent in the typical on-the-go American diet. If you are faithful to yourself by adopting the lifestlye changes, you will lose about 1 pound a week until your body reaches its ideal weight. I lost 21 pounds during the program and 11% body fat. I won the contest, as I set out to do. Then I continued following the program and lost a total of 75 lbs. in a year and a total of 80 lbs in 14 months. It has been 22 months since I started the program and I have maintained the my weight loss. I went from a size 16 to a size 3. I continue following the guidelines of Dr. Gordon’s program and have never felt better in my life! I highly recommend Dr. Gordon’s Live Life Lighter program. You can do it too!
Good Luck”
Margaret Schwerdtmann (Contest winner! Lost 12% of body mass during the contest and according to her update she has lost 80 pounds in 14 months!)
“I really liked and believed in the program. The materials that were given were extremely helpful. The information really channeled me to do all the correct actions that can help with the weight loss. Since the contest ended I have had at least 2 situations where I gained about 5 pounds but was able to nip it in the bud and stop the weight-gain before it got worse using techniques I learned.”
-Michelle Fang (Contestant – Lost 9% of total body mass)
I participated in Dr. Kuang’s Live Life Lighter Program last year. I wanted to learn more about nutrition, fitness and overall wellness. Weight loss was a secondary goal. Dr. Kuang was very knowledgeable and covered a wide variety of health and nutrition topics in an interesting and informative way. The atmosphere of the Green Spa added to the benefits of the lectures and workshops. The instructors of the classes given at the Green Spa were excellent and the services offered there were wonderful. I achieved my goal of learning to live life healthier and lighter.
-Ann M. (Contestant BMI = 20.9 – Lost 3% of body mass and ended with 21.3% body fat)
My name is Gloria D. and I was a contestant in Dr. Kuang’s Live Life Lighter contest. First, let me say that I didn’t win. I did lose 15 lbs but more than that it changed my life. The contest wasn’t just about weighing in. Dr. Kuang taught us how to eat, how to shop for food and how to exercise. Dr. Kuang didn’t just say you can’t eat this that or the other. He told us what we could eat, how to tweek our diets so that we could eat what we like and still lose weight. I’m constantly looking to find ways to change my everyday recipies so that they have less fat and more nutrition. I’ve changed my family’s eating habits too because of what Dr. Kuang taught me. Its been a year since the contest for me and I’ve lost a total of 55 lbs. I exercise daily. I no longer have the back ache that had been killing me for 8 years. I’ll always be grateful and I’ll never be fat again.
-Gloria D. (Contestant – Second place with 11% body mass loss and from that time on has shifted her percentage to over 16%! With over 10% of body fat loss!)
“I had been trying to lose weight for 3 years, and the scale never budged one pound. During the Live Life Lighter program, Dr. Gordon provided unique insight and ideas that had me down 10 pounds by the end of the 3 short months. This is an incredible accomplishment that required no calorie counting or crazy sacrifices. I am still using his advice and continuing to lose weight. I look better, feel better and I know I’m living a healthier life style. Thanks Dr. G!”
-Joyce D. (Contestant – Lost 8% of total body mass)
“Dr G inspired in me the recognition that a thoughtful and disciplined exercise and diet regimen is the best means for achieving tangible health rewards. I would say that in Dr G you will find someone who approaches your health issues holistically – from posture to exercise, from diet to supplements. He presents a balanced medical approach – he is up-to-date in the most current health and industry trends and practices yet schooled in traditional medical basics. Dr G doesn’t solely treat the symptom, but proactively seeks out the sources of the problem and addresses a remedy that is structured, thoughtful and comprehensive.”
-David Henley (went through the GOLD PROGRAM ) paid for one-on-one attention when Dr. Gordon 1st started practicing in 02′/03′ – Lost 20 lbs in 3 months and continued until his body fat dropped less then 25%
“I started the year 2007 feeling ill. The doctor advised me to lose weight because the excess fat was causing both health and musculoskeletal problems – especially since my knees. I am 5’7″ and weighed about 215 pounds with over 45% of body fat. It was time to make a healthy lifestyle change. I was faced with a challenging situation. I decided to get guidance from a professional. I found Dr. Kuang online and scheduled an appointment with him. In Jan, 22 2007, I started the 12-week gold program. Although I still have a ways to go, I am proud to report that I am a different person today. In 3-months I have lost over 30 pounds, 3 inches along my waistline, about 10% of my body fat, and haven’t been sick since the beginning of the year! I would recommend him to anyone looking to lose weight or get healthy.”
-Jackie B. (Another Gold program graduate that preferred one-on-one attention versus a group atmosphere)
I have been a patient of Dr. Kuang for 6 years. Over the years prior, I have done damage I thought was unreapirable from the jobs I have had from sedentary (desk work) to completely physically abusive (floor sanding for example). From being treated by Dr. Kuang I totally feel like a new person. Not only does he have hands of gold and an endless well of knowledge, but he explains what he is doing and has information readily available. Everyone that I have referred to him have thanked me multiple times for having done so. I thank the powers that be for having met Dr. Kuang and I believe whole heartedly that anyone who does the same will feel the same as I do.
-Nick Accettura – Personal trainer used by Dr. Gordon for those wanting extra resistance training
“I first went to Dr. Kuang around three years ago after my second ACL reconstructive surgery in my left knee. I found online that he used cold laser therapy as part of his treatment techniques, and after tearing my knee for a second time I wanted to do everything possible to regain my strength and stability. Not only did he treat me for my knee, but through nutritional guidance, regular adjustments, personal training, and appropriate supplementation, I got stronger faster than after my first surgery and have not re-injured my knee since. He takes more of a big picture approach to solving a health problem, which is rare when most doctors treat patients as numbers with quick, impersonal appointments. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a doctor who will treat the whole problem, not just a symptom.”
-Dustyn R. – Not a contestant but needed exercise to stop knee problems… This is being shown to ensure that you don’t use past injury as an excuse not to exercise, just a reason to take precautions
“I’ve been a patient of Dr. Kuang’s since 2005 and will continue with his care. He has helped me get into shape for my wedding and then fight the bulge after giving birth with his exercise routines, vitamins and diet habits. His compassion, dedication and flexibility always amazed me. He was always available when I needed extra advice or inspiration to continue. Dr Kuang is a great doctor and I highly recommend him to anybody.”
-Julie L. (Colleague and coworker in New Life OB/GYN LLP) – was treated while pregnant and after. Pregnancy is a strong reason to learn and educate yourself about healthy eating, NOT JUST losing weight… although losing weight is the main priority!
***This mixture of past contestants AND patients should help you get an idea of what philosophy is used in this lifestyle modification treatment
The contest is always judged over the time span of 3 months, past contestants have lost 11.4% = 21.4 lb loss, 8.9% = 17.4 lb loss, 9.1% = 17.8 lb loss. The average of all the contestants were about 6-8% loss of body mass = 4-17.8 lb of overall weight-loss 
LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION FOR PERMANENT CHANGE
** The contestants that stop by to say hello have all maintained about a +/- 1-5% shift of body mass and have all expressed the fulfillment of learning how to lose weight, not just being told what to eat and following all the classic parts of a “diet”…. Blah, we don’t like that word here!
