Review Time
I'm approaching the end of month 2 of a 12-month coaching program with P.D. (He has different length coaching programs to choose from.)
I've been totally pleased so far. He creates specific workouts and a complete meal plan that allows plenty of flexibility and only includes foods you are okay with eating. Sometimes I've followed the recipes exactly, and other times I've just made similar meals while still tracking overall macros, and I've continued to progress both ways. (And no, tracking or calorie-counting is not required if you just follow his meal plans.)
He is super responsive via text message if I ever have any questions about exercise, eating, supplements, or how to navigate special events like birthdays and holiday eating strategies.
It is always him personally coaching me and answering any questions, and scheduled Zoom meetings are also included for face-to-face discussion, which I enjoy.
He also provides weekly teaching videos and handouts which I always look forward to.
In my late 50's, I started out slightly obese, at about 40% body fat, with about 60-70 lbs. to lose. Two months in, I'm already down about 20. So far, so good. But the primary concentration is on leanness and muscle growth instead of pure scale weight; this program is more about being a whole body recomposition plan than simply a weight-loss plan.
Me having come from a carnivore diet preference, this is still compatible with that, emphasizing adequate protein, medium fat, lowish carbs. But I'm losing more fat on this program than I was before. I know some of that is because of the emphasis on the importance of the workouts.
The workouts are short, twice a week, and only around 30 minutes each, and there are NO long "cardio" grinds on the treadmill. I have found the workouts very sustainable, even enjoyable.
I found P.D. on Twitter at the Venn diagram intersections of animal-based eating, intermittent fasting, low-carb, longevity research, short intense single-set workouts, emphasis on leanness for health, skepticism of mainstream medical advice, and the importance of resolving metabolic syndrome by increasing insulin sensitivity. I enjoy his frequent Twitter posts discussing these subjects. I've also read some of his books, which have proven valuable, too. I'm working on lowering my overly-high blood iron levels because of his longevity insights.
I am already glad I went ahead and purchased the 12-month program instead of the 4-month program, because I feel like I'm just getting started and can't wait to see what progress I make the rest of this year.

Fantastic service. This isn't just a weight loss crash course, its an education on the latest science/studies on general health, nutrition, and fitness. Completely holistic approach. PD was always available for any question that came to mind, and tailors his program to your needs and lifestyle. I'm a 40 year old busy professional with young kids and balancing this program was easy. Lost around 35 lbs (15% of body weight) over the program, while working out less, and being provided with a structured meal plan (enjoyed no more "whats for dinner tonight"). Most importantly, I feel equipped with the knowledge gained to continue improving my health going forward (and losing a few more lbs!).
In my 60 years on this planet I must have tried every diet known to woman, on and off. Tired of the extra fat around my middle that I just couldn't seem to shift despite eating well, cooking from scratch and leading an active life, I bit the bullet and with a mix of desperation and skepticism signed up with PD, who I'd been following on Twitter for a while and whose fact based approach appealed to me.To my astonishment, in four months I regained the shape I was in at my absolute fittest, 35 years ago; I gained an understanding of how my body works and how to work with it rather than against it; I gained an exercise plan that is no trouble to commit to (and that has totally demystified gyms for me - I am comfortable walking in to any gym & doing my stuff); and I gained the security of knowing that by following the really simple guidelines I can keep these results for as long as I choose. I lost 9kg down to 51kg without ever feeling hungry or even faintly deprived, and actually reached the point where I didn't want to lose any more fat - this has never happened before in my entire life - and I feel lean, strong and capable. My husband thinks I look amazing and was himself inspired to start copying my programme after he witnessed my results.I think this was the best investment I could possibly have made for my health, and I feel it has shifted the trajectory of my next 20 years in a hugely positive manner. Thank you PD, for everything.
I found Dennis after decades of weight loss and hitting a plateau. I topped out well over 300 lbs and successfully dropped a lot of weight using primarily keto, but over the past couple years of trying keto and even calorie counting, I was stuck. I started a 16-week program with him at 246 lbs and by the end hit 222, 24 lbs after being stagnant for years! That's 1.6 lbs a week! I also am working out consistently twice a week, something I have never done more than a month or so in the past before trailing off, because it is simple, not time consuming, and he taught me exactly what to do. His system works! I now know what I'm doing in the gym, already seeing muscle growth in addition to the weight loss, and I know what to do to keep losing weight and maintain once I hit my target. Worth. Every. Penny! I'm on my way to 180 lbs and feel confident for the first time in my life (I'm 47) that I will make it!
44 male. I had a major change working with PD AND I've not only maintained but gotten even stronger and leaner over the next yearafter working with him.I went from BMI 30 (obese) to BMI 27 (overweight) working PD over 4 months and am now at BMI 24.6. I feel like I've added 10 years of of life expectancy and 20 years of "active" life expectancy.What's best is I'm working with tools now get even fitter on my own.
Level of trust I have with P.D. after following him for many years on Twitter/X. He's dialled-in to each of his clients... it's not a one-size-fits-all, but customized. No-nonsense. Results seen within two weeks, then they cascade after that.
I’ve been working with Dennis for a little over 6 months and I’m approaching the 60 pound loss mark. What he teaches makes perfect sense. The eating program is very logical and is not hard to follow. I’ve done keto and carnivore and everything in between and this is the only program that has worked for me. For instance, after I had been doing keto, he explained to me that while the low carb and higher protein aspects were important, keto had me eating a lot of fatty food and if I was spending all my efforts burning the fat I was eating, I wouldn’t be burning the fat on my body. So it made sense to do a high protein, low carb and low fat program. Since then the weight has been falling off me. And it’s a different kind of weight loss. It feels like I’m losing weight from the inside out. It’s hard to explain. He’s great to talk to about strategies for eating and working out. And the workout plan is also good. Before starting with Dennis I was at the gym 5 times a week. Now I try to do 3 times over the course of 8 or 9 days. I like going to the gym and although things would clearly work only going twice a week, he recognized that going helped my head and encouraged it. But instead of 90+ minutes each time, I’m out in 30-35 minutes at most and get everything I need to get done done (that time includes waiting for the kids to get off Snapchat and finish their sets). The meal plans are straightforward and I find myself shopping and cooking like I’ve never done before so I’m dialed into what I’m putting into my body more than ever. It’s satisfying food and the whole family can do it too, so we aren’t making a separate meals for me. The proof is in the pudding — almost 60 pounds in about 6 months. I feel better than I have in literally decades. BP medicine will be going away soon. Absolutely intend and expect to reach my goal. I couldn’t recommend Dennis more.
My wife and I have been working with PD for a little over 4 months...excellent results thus far...down 40+ lbs from 260 to 219 and feeling great! It has been very rewarding for both of us as we watch the fat melt away week by week while also getting stronger. We love the educational videos and documents that are teaching us about improving our metabolic health...not a diet, but life-habits that are getting more ingrained by the day. We check in with questions or concerns for PD and he's always quick to respond. So far, well worth the investment.
