I never really intended to write a book, but on almost a daily basis I had people asking me what the best way is to lose weight. When I tried to explain my answer, I realized that I took for granted the amount of information you really need to understand in order to lose weight safely and keep it off in the long run.
I figured I could find a good book to refer people to that they could use to help them reach their goals, but I couldn't. Most of the books I agreed with in theory were too long and detailed to be practical. The simplest, most enjoyable books I found were too gimmicky to get the job done.
So the goal became about trying to fit everything I thought people needed to know about their fat into 100 easily-accessible pages or less. Judging by the encouragement I've received from people in all walks of life, Your Fat is everything it was hoping to be.
