The Non-Pharma Path Steve Used to Melt 60 lbs and Keep It Off

What Steve Changed And Why It Finally Worked

Steve dropped 60 lbs in 6 months by resetting his metabolism with weekly at home coaching. You can copy the same steps from home.

30 years of starts. One reset that stuck.

For 30 years, Steve did what the “experts” preach: eat less, do more cardio. It worked—until it didn’t. The weight crept back, cravings barked louder, and every January felt like a rerun. Maybe you can relate.

You know that feeling when January rolls around and you swear, “This is it—this time it sticks”… and by February you’re negotiating with the pantry?

Steve did that for 30 years.

He tried the same formula everyone pushes—eat less, exercise more. The weight kept creeping back, the cravings got louder, and each restart got heavier than the last.

What changed wasn’t willpower. It was taking a completely different approach. An approach proven by 600+ people.

Steve switched to a metabolic reset with Dr. Ashley Lucas at PHD Weight Loss: real food, a personalized “what / when / how much” plan, and a 10 minute weekly call.

In about six months, he dropped nearly 60 lbs, and—his words—“it was unbelievably easy.”

Why diets failed Steve (and probably you)

Most plans fight you: fewer calories, more cardio, try to “tough out” hunger.

That backfires because the real enemy isn’t “discipline”—it’s visceral belly fat acting like a hormone secreting mass that stokes cravings, lowers T in men (via aromatase), and raises risk through inflammatory signals (e.g., IL-6).

In simple terms: your belly fat isn’t just padding—it acts like a tiny hormone factory that makes you hungrier, saps energy, and fights fat loss.

Until you shrink that, every “eat less, move more” plan feels like swimming upstream.

This is the number one mistake that most “move more, eat less” weight loss plans fall into. They completely disregard the science of how your body works.

So yes—you can be hungry, exhausted, and stuck even when you’re “doing everything right.”

That’s not a character flaw. That’s an approach problem.

What finally worked (and why it felt easy)

The first shift was fuel.

Steve stopped running on sugar all day. Dr. Ashley walked him through a simple reset that nudged his body to burn fat first—the opposite of the usual advice.

Within days he noticed the weirdest thing: the noise in his head went quiet. Fewer “grab something now” impulses. Meals actually held him. Cravings weren’t driving anymore.

Next, they protected his engine—muscle.

Steve had tried the starvation route before. It “worked,” until it didn’t: smaller, weaker, and somehow softer.

This time the plan set exact what/when/how much so protein, carbs, and fat all worked together.

He was dropping inches, but he didn’t feel depleted or exhausted like most weight loss programs make you feel.

Week by week, he felt stronger as the scale moved.

They kept the guardrails light. Ten minutes on the phone, once a week.

No hour long lectures—just a quick check in: what worked, what didn’t, tiny tweaks, move on.

That little rhythm killed the “I’ll start again Monday” spiral and kept him honest without taking over his life.

And when the weight came off, they didn’t wave goodbye.

There’s a maintenance phase—because losing is one game, keeping it off is another.

Keep the short check ins, keep the simple habits, and you hold the line.

Dr. Ashley notes that clients who continue those touch points tend to maintain within ~3 lbs about 85% of the time. Results vary, but the point is simple: the support doesn’t stop when the scale hits goal.

“But I’ve tried everything…”

If you’re reading this and thinking “but I’ve tried everything,” you’re in the right place.

Steve had, too.

He thought the answer was “more willpower.” Then he learned the plan beats willpower—because a plan can turn down cravings, stabilize energy, and simplify decisions:

· You’re not white knuckling hunger. (Fat first fuel quiets the urge.)

· You’re not guessing. (“Eat this much, at this time.”)

· You’re not alone. (A human checks in. Ten minutes. Done.)


When the process changes, the same you finally wins.

What this looks like for you (at home)

1. Personal plan: You’ll get a customized what / when / how much plan—calibrated to put you in fat burning while protecting muscle.

2. Real food: Not injections. Not “drink your dinner.”

3. Weekly call: ~10 minutes. Review, tweak, move forward.

4. Maintenance support: So success doesn’t fade—it sticks.

Nationwide, at home coaching. If you prefer natural over needles, personal responsibility over prescriptions, and results over endless how to training, this is your lane.

Steve rejected quick fix culture and took back control with a plan that works with the body God gave him, not against it.

Meet Dr. Ashley Lucas, PhD, RD

From broken rules to a better way. Before the PhD and the RD came the pain.

Dr. Ashley was a professional ballet dancer—a world that demands extremely lean bodies and relentless training.

She did everything the “experts” said: fat free foods, more cardio, less calories.

The result?

Stress fractures, ER visits, and being told she was “fat” while over exercised and under fed.

That season ended her dance career—and started her obsession with what actually works.

She went back to school to fix the problem at the root.

Dr. Ashley earned a PhD in Sports Nutrition & Chronic Disease, then taught at Ohio State University.

She became a Registered Dietitian to master the clinical side.

But what she saw in conventional training didn’t match real world results: they all preached “eat less, move more” and rigid carb targets. A method that hasn't worked over and over again.

Her mission was to build a system that lets the body cooperate. That makes weight loss sustainable.

That's when PHD Weight Loss was born.

PHD Weight Loss grew out of one conviction: teach the body to burn fat first—not sugar—so hunger and cravings calm down, and make the plan simple enough to live with.

No starvation. No injections for life. Real food, precise structure, and weekly coaching so the plan adapts as your body changes.

The roadblock isn’t “discipline”—it’s visceral belly fat acting like a hormone secreting mass.

It pumps out signals (IL-6, aromatase) that drive cravings, lower testosterone in men, and raise risk—so willpower alone feels like pushing a car with the brakes on.

PHD attacks that problem first and is on a mission to help people like you solve your weight loss problem for good.

Dr. Ashley's Results Back This New Approach.

Take Chris For Example:

"The PHD Weight Loss program can have a profoundly positive effect on your life, both physically and mentally.

With the right plan in place, weight loss has the potential to completely transform your life and give you a newfound sense of purpose and joy.

You'll have more energy, better sleep habits, improved physical fitness, and improved relationships with friends and family.

Plus, no matter how much weight you lose, the journey towards it is always an incredibly rewarding experience."

And Here's What Others Had To Say About PHD Weight Loss

Everything You’re Wondering, Answered

Is this just another diet?

No. The plan flips your body to burn fat first, not sugar, so hunger and cravings quiet down. That’s why Steve called losing nearly 60 lbs “one of the easiest things I’ve ever done.”

Will I be hungry?

Most people report less hunger and fewer sugar urges once they’re in fat-burning.

Do I have to take injections or live on shakes?

No injections, no starvation. It’s real food with a simple, personalized what/when/how-much plan.

How does the coaching work if it’s at home?

Weekly 10-minute phone check ins, quick reviews, tiny tweaks, keep momentum. No clinic waiting rooms.

I’ve lost weight before and gained it back. What’s different here?

The program targets visceral belly fat (the hormone-secreting stuff that drives cravings and weight regain) and builds in maintenance so results stick. Clients who continue check-ins often maintain within ~3 lbs (~85%).

Will I lose muscle?

The plan is designed to protect muscle (“your metabolic currency”) while you lose fat, using calibrated protein, carbs, and fats.

How fast will I see results?

Steve noticed the process felt easier quickly as cravings quieted; rate varies by person

Isn’t weight loss just calories in, calories out?

Steve tried that for 30 years. The reset focuses on fuel choice (fat vs. sugar) and muscle protection, so your body cooperates instead of fighting you.
