Self-Help Diet
A frank, funny, and groundbreaking guide to surviving and
thriving in an obesogenic world, from the CEO of Weight
Watchers International.
We live in a dangerous food world, full of temptation and
instant gratification. No wonder obesity among Americans has
tripled since the 1960s—and that those prone to weight gain
fail over and over to maintain their hard-won goals. Simply
put, our brains and environments are stacked against us.
Simplistic willpower-based and food-focused diets will never
bring lasting change. But a solution is within reach—one that will help readers
live better, longer, and more happily. In fact, David Kirchhoff isn’t just the President and CEO of
Weight Watchers—he’s also one of its biggest success
stories. In his pursuit of a trim physique, Kirchhoff
divulges his slide into full-fledged obesity, his struggles
to manage his relationship with food, and to find an
exercise regimen that sticks. Drawing on the latest
scientific research and numerous other inspiring personal
stories, he makes the case that the only recipe for
long-term success is to radically shift our mindset when
thinking about obesity and adopting a healthy lifestyle that
stays with us for good. This requires incorporating positive
habits that become second nature, and rigorously managing
one’s food environment—as well as embracing practical
behavior-change tools and other sustainable maintenance
strategies. In the light of a new, healthier lifestyle that
helps readers look good and feel good, change isn’t a
burden--it’s a release. All author royalties will be donated to Share Our Strength
(www.strength.org), a nonprofit organization that supports
the goal of ending childhood hunger in the U.S. by 2015.
