燳es. Many clients, patients and readers using my methods have said so. But there's a catch. I screen my clients, and I make sure they meet the prerequisites before I'll work with them. In my燽ook, I make sure readers know about them.

Since 1985 I have been helping people solve their weight problems with a therapeutic method I developed as a behavioral therapist.

As a clinical counselor, I specialized in tough habitual behavior and addictions, and I put my clinical training to work on obesity, solving my own problem first. I lost 140 pounds after 25 years of dieting failure, and I've maintained my ideal body weight since then, for almost 30 years.

Atkins Diets

Soon after discovering the method, I started training others. I've been very successful helping chronically overweight people lose weight permanently, and I am convinced that anyone can succeed with permanent weight loss.

There had to be another truth, another way! There was no way I could live a life without the freedom to eat what I wanted, when I wanted. I used to say things like, "I really don't eat that much." I pretended that I was not the cause of my weight problem. I looked for magical ways to solve my weight problem.
