' At first, Dr Nene went through all kinds of transformations and tested them by becoming his own guinea pig. He also tested the same on his patients. He revealed, “I was able to redefine many of the lifestyle diseases .
My dad has been a diabetic for 55 years, and we were able to take him off meds. He was 81 when we started that experiment; he is 86 now and doing very well.” When the transformations and lifestyle changes were successful on his father, Dr Nene decided to apply them to himself.
“I did it. Along the way, we dropped 18 kilos. We went down to 16 percent body fat.

Our goal is that by my next birthday, I am trying to get down to 12 to 15 percent body fat, as I am shooting for a magazine,” he revealed.
