Daniels’ Why?
Dan is passionate about helping others to escape the shackles of the scales and whilst he knows that a reduction in weight for some may be important, the real goal is rarely to just change the number on the scales.
Dan created WaistPoint® in response to becoming frustrated and disillusioned by the industry which focuses so heavily on scales as a goal. Dan remembers witnessing his mum being told “your son is overweight”.
This hugely affected his confidence throughout his youth and into adulthood. Dan thought this was a unique issue with himself until he started to help others with their nutrition and health.
Dan quickly realised he was not alone and decided he wanted to do something to change this perception of “scale weight being too high = unhealthy”.
The reality is, Dan has been classed as overweight his entire life; despite achieving some prestigious accolades as an athlete and always being in “good shape”.
At any one time if he was weighed he would have been classed as overweight based on what the scales say. Our understanding of scale weight needs to change and Dan has tasked himself with being the face of that change.
