6. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the
HawaiiDiet™, we put a number of community
leaders, including the Governor and some representatives of
the Native Hawaiian community of Papakolea
Homestead, on the HawaiiDiet™ in a 3-week program.
In 3 weeks, the group weight loss for the 23 participants was
249.25 pounds. Average weight loss per person was 10.8

205 mg/dl to 157 mg/dl). At the beginning of the
program, there were 11 people with cholesterol over 200. At
the end of the program there was only one person whose
cholesterol was over 200.
Average triglycerides decreased 36.3% from an average of
238 mg/dl to 152 mg/dl (normal range - 50 mg/dl to 150

fell an average of 38%, from an average of 177 mg/dl to 122

on medication for diabetes were able to reduce their
medications, including one who got off 90 units of insulin.

medication when his blood pressure dropped to normal
levels, and also after reducing the blood pressure medication
of two other people.
