I love ZG! I lost 70 pounds…which is great, but for me the ZG concept is bigger than that. I think the most important thing about ZG is that you learn a framework for healthy living that you can sustain over your lifetime…so once you lose the weight you know how to maintain that loss and you have the support to do it. You learn the principals that govern how your body chemistry and mechanics intersect with your diet and exercise. Once you have that foundation, you can develop a way of eating and exercising that fits the ZG framework and that you like! I really appreciate Dr. Zacharias, she’s been accessible, more than willing to help and opine on my process, and sincere in her desire to help those with the ZG community reach their health goals as are the trainers. There are so many classes and trainers at ZG. I find it very easy to work with trainers I like and keep my workouts interesting and fun. I’ve made friends there too. Good times! So for me, ZG has been a game changer. I feel like I’ve dodged the bullet of diabetes, heart disease, joint problems and the repercussions of obesity…just in time.

What type of center is this? Do you have to have surgery ?.
