~ Makeover 2005 ~

The 2005 candidate's makeover had a value of over $20,000.

 

Dental:

Drs. Burry and Karamanis did extensive work on our 2005 candidate:

  • periodontal (gum disease) concerns
  • extraction of a front tooth that had been damaged in an accident
  • gum height
  • bone grafting
  • multiple fillings replaced

After this restorative work could start:

  • porcelain bridge to replace the extracted front tooth
  • porcelain veneers on the remaining teeth

More than just mere vanity, a significant and healthful change in appearance can vastly improve an individual's outlook and can be profoundly influential on their success in life.

Nutrition:

You are what you eat, goes the old saying. But, perhaps even more importantly, you are "how" you eat, and poor eating habits are every bit as much a part of inadequate nutrition and weight gain, as the substances we consume.

Michelina Karamanis provided the 2005 candidate nutritional advice that was an essential component of her lifestyle revolution:

  • stop smoking
  • healthy and nutritious meal planning
  • 19 lb weight loss (about 2 pounds per week)
  • cut out the softdrinks, drink more water
  • plan meals ahead, rather than shopping last minute
  • grocery tour - label reading
  • menu planning - variety
  • make time for sit-down meals
