Behind the Scenes: Making Products You Love

Why must low carb be made simple? And what does love have to do with it?

Low carb must be made simple

As you probably know, Diet Doctor exists to empower people everywhere to revolutionize their health. Our first mission on this long, exciting, journey is to make low carb simple.

Today, low carb is hard due to three main forces. First, there's an immense amount of misinformation about food and health. Second, the food environment is full of processed junk. Third, changing habits and beliefs is challenging.

The result? More than a billion people are obese, over 400 million have diabetes, and no one knows how many suffer in other ways. This totally sucks.

But, we don't have to accept this situation - we can do something about it. What would happen if we made low carb simple for everyone, everywhere?

Hundreds of millions could embrace the low-carb lifestyle. People could revolutionize their health and all that potential that's been locked-up for too long would be freed up. Now, finally, all these people would have the resources required to pursue their dreams and make the world a better place. Awesome.

Together we're going to make low carb simple. How? By making products people love.

The importance of love

When people fall in love with something they get excited and can't stop talking about it. They tell their friends, they tell their families and they tell everyone else too!
