About this item
Despite the success stories publicized by Atkins, South Beach, Weight Watchers, and others, 90% of all diets end in failure. How can fix the way we lose weight so that we make results last? Weight loss expert Dr. Yoni Freedhoff has uncovered the flawed thinking that sabotages even the most earnest weight loss efforts. The majority of dieting or weight loss programs call for regular sacrifice: Give up an entire food group; fight hunger day and night; undertake exhausting and grueling exercise regiments. These approaches are unrealistic, unhealthy, and make it nearly impossible to maintain results. Now, at last, there is hope. In The Diet Fix, Dr. Freedhoff offers a tested program for breaking down the negative thought patterns that prevent people from losing weight and keeping it off.
About the Author
I'm a physician, an assistant professor at the University of Ottawa, a dad, and since 2004 I've dedicated my professional career to nutrition and weight management. The Diet Fix wasn't something I set out to write, it was something I felt compelled to write - the first 30,000 words of which in a single weekend in an unplugged shack in the woods of Northern Ontario. Currently I spend my days as a full time clinician, a full time dad, and a part-time trouble maker as I blog, tweet, write and advocate for better public policy surrounding obesity and nutrition.
