Dr. Weiner developed the Pound of Cure Nutrition Plan to support long-term success after surgery. His approach doesn’t rely on calorie counting—instead, it focuses on lowering your body’s metabolic setpoint through a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans, legumes, and lean animal protein. By addressing food noise and metabolic dysregulation at the source, Dr. Weiner’s program empowers post-op patients to achieve sustainable weight loss without the restrictive and temporary tactics of traditional diets.
