With this book, the Wilberts are exposing one of the biggest secrets to successful weight management that has long eluded yo-yo dieters.  Fortunately, they are willing to share the combination that can open the door to a healthier body weight for others.  Their book gently takes its readers by the hand and helps them to disarm the dieting demons that have sabotaged their past attempts at weight loss.  Having counseled people in weight management for the past 25 years as a Registered Dietician, this book will now be assigned reading in my practice.

 I find this book to be a truly unique slant on “dieting.”  Medically speaking, the authors give very sound advice.  The authors encourage readers to look inside themselves to find out why their overeating takes place, then suggest useful steps to overcome personal obstacles.  This book is for the chronic dieter who is now ready to make a commitment to healthy living.

 The Wilberts provide a user-friendly approach to understanding and changing the attitudes that add pounds and make losing weight so frustrating.  “Fattitudes” offers readers practical help in controlling emotional eating and straightening-out relationships with friends and family members who would undermine their dieting.  This book will help the reader remove the psychological barriers that interfere with permanent weight loss.
