"I was facing multiple joint replacements and was overweight, very close to obesity. My orthopedist recommended that I lose a significant amount of weight prior to the procedures.  I decided on the CUPS diet^®,and it did the job for me and then some. My new right knee simply would have been under too much strain if I hadn’t lost the weight. Now I am scheduled to have my left knee replaced. Having done so in such a safe and sane manner for my first surgery assured me that there would be no unnecessary complications this time. I have gotten more exercise this time around and am even more confident before going into my second surgery. Dr. Mascaro, your diet has literally been a life saver for me.”
