Eat less, exercise more. For the two of every three Americans struggling with their weight, this simplistic "solution" often falls short. Weight loss specialist Dr. Tinuade Olusegun-Dr. O to her patients-experienced firsthand the complexity of the obesity epidemic when she battled for years to lose excess pounds. The advice she'd doled out to patients-eat less, exercise more-failed her, and she embarked on a search for answers: what made her gain the weight? Why couldn't she lose it? What really is obesity? In Know More, Weigh Less, Dr. O shares her personal story and her discovery of new, and sometimes controversial, weight loss methods that work. In this book, you will learn: • A new definition for "obesity" • What has really caused your weight gain and is obstructing your weight loss • How to gain control of your environment and behavior • Customized diet and exercise solutions • Alternative methods and Dr. O's "secret weapon" Perhaps most importantly, you will learn how to maintain results after weight loss for a life free of calorie counting, crash dieting, and the physical and emotional effects of obesity.
