About Dr. True
As a
physician since 1980, he has encouraged and taught patients to eat correctly
and exercise daily. He has always kept foremost in his mind the concept of
"Prevention is the best medicine".
As a young boy, Dr. True suffered from what hundreds of children have to deal with during
their childhood years: he was overweight! He was raised in an Italian family and ate lots
of pasta. For him, unfortunately, healthy eating habits were not on the menu! His siblings
were thin, but he was not. Because of this, his self image was always poor and his ability
to do physical activity was limited. And of course this simply continued into a cycle of
eating more, exercising less, and becoming more overweight.
During high school, he became more aware of his weight problem and felt compelled to change
his lifestyle. Therefore, he began learning about better nutrition and exercise through
motivational books. After school and work, he began an exercise program called the Royal
Canadian Air Force Exercise Plans For Physical Fitness where he simply did a series of
exercises every day for eleven (11) minutes a day. Surprisingly, the pounds simply came off,
and he has continued this philosophy by eating the right foods and by exercising regularly.
Why The True Diet?
As a physician since 1980, he has encouraged and taught patients to eat correctly and
exercise daily. He has always kept foremost in his mind the concept of "Prevention is the
best medicine". Eating a nutritious and balanced diet with lots of fruits and vegetables,
combined with a regular exercise program is known to help prevent medical problems. This has
been an integral part of his practice and will always continue.
The most frequent complaint from his patients has been, "How do I lose the weight?" Dr.
True's goal has always been to try to help and encourage people to lose weight and stay fit.
Not only would this help prevent multiple potential physical problems from occurring, but
also so people could live healthier and more productive lives.
Lugging around extra pounds of fat simply makes people fatigue more quickly. They become
less active, which perpetuates and increases the problem. It's no wonder that so many
overweight patients complain of fatigue. During visits with his patients, he encourages
these people to lose the weight for their health, to feel better, and to get more energy.
However, just encouragement has not been an adequate inducement for most people to lose
those extra pounds. Most people rationalize and make excuses for not being able to eat
right or to exercise appropriately. They simply did not place these lifetime goals into
the high priority list for them. Dr. True thought that creating some type of diet plan
that would create incentives and motivation for better health was necessary. Only when
people are motivated to want to do something will they do it. With incentive rewards, people
will tend to do the right thing.
Thus, he created the concept of The True Diet to
incorporate all three topics:
- Motivation - to help people want to lose weight and be more fit and healthy.
- Nutrition - to teach the basics of good nutrition for a better body and better health
- Exercise - to build and exercise the muscles to burn the fat (A necessary ingredient to lose weight, get fit, become more healthy, become more energized, be more alert, think more clearly, be more active and thus enjoy life to a fuller extent.)
Credentials
Dr. True has been in active practice of Obstetrics and Gynecology since 1986, after his
residency in OB-GYN was completed at Charity Hospital in New Orleans, LA, under the Tulane
Medical University system. During that time he also practiced as an emergency room physician
for two full years, and part time for three more years.
He received his Medical Doctorate degree in 1980 from the University of Nevada Medical
School, in Reno, NV. He was a pharmacist prior to being a physician and had received his
Registered Pharmacist degree from Idaho State University in Pocatello, Idaho, where he spent
his childhood.
For more than 20 years, Dr. True and his staff have been committed to the health and well-being
of their patients in the Dalls - Fort Worth Metroplex area. His goal has always been to provide
health information, new and up to date therapies and procedures, nutrition and exercise programs
to improve patient's health and help them achieve a better quality of life.
"Never stop learning" and a natural talent for surgery and medicine, plus a good bedside
manner are the reasons why Dr. True is able to assist his patients so well. Training for OB-Gyn
under the Charity Hospital System in Louisiana gave him a multitude of exceptional skills for
surgery and bedside medicine.
Over the years, he has developed his weight-loss concepts by reading and studying motivational,
nutritional and exercise sources. He has combined this information with the observations and
lessons he has learned from his medical practice experience of observing the habits of thousands
of patients. He created his diet plan to try to correct the fitness problems that he has seen on
a daily basis.
After the extra weight is gone and patients continue to have small areas of fat they want
to reduce, he also offers body contouring procedures in his office. He is well trained and
performs liposuction body contouring procedures so people can look great. And when a person
looks great, they feel great!
