Are the Big Three holding you back?
The 3 biggest nutrition and exercise mistakes
Research shows most people regain much of the weight they lost within 3 to 5 years, and a third to two thirds end up heavier than when they started. It usually comes down to these three mistakes. It doesn't have to be that way.
Mistake #1
Overly restrictive diets
The biggest mistake is choosing a diet that doesn't let you eat foods you love and enjoy. Research shows restrictive diets usually work for a few months, 3 to 12 at most, before people go back to eating the way they used to and regain the weight. Keto, paleo, Atkins, low fat, low carb, liquid diets, carnivore and others can take weight off at first. The question is what happens when you go back to the foods you enjoy. This method teaches you to lose weight while eating the foods you enjoy, so you can do it for life.
Mistake #2
Excessive exercise
Plans that rely on hard exercise 5 days a week are nearly impossible to keep up for life. In studies, the weight loss from a new exercise program often stalls after a few months as the body adapts. Exercise matters for strength, conditioning, balance, quality of life, libido and injury prevention, and it lowers cardiovascular and all-cause mortality, but it is not necessary for weight loss. You'll learn the minimum effective dose of exercise for the most benefit.
Mistake #3
A bad relationship with food
Most plans label foods as "good" or "bad". People go months without pizza, have one slice, feel they have failed, and then binge. Food is food. You'll learn to use food as a tool to fuel your goals, and to have confidence around any food, even pizza and ice cream, without spiraling out of control.

How do I know?
I've been teaching doctors weight loss for over 20 years
I'm a Board Certified Cardiologist and Certified Personal Trainer, and my mission is to help people finally lose weight. As a father of four, I have seen the struggle with weight gain and weight loss in my wife, my friends and my patients. Add the hormonal changes, the mood changes and the mental and emotional demands of motherhood, and it becomes really hard to lose weight, keep it off and eat foods you enjoy.
The inspiration for this book was my wife, a mother to our four children and a pharmacist at one of the biggest hospitals in the city. She asked me for a plan that was quick and simple, that let her eat what she wanted and still lose weight, and that explained weight loss in plain language, not doctorspeak, so she could point her friends to it.
I have been overweight and sometimes obese since college too. I tried almost every diet you can imagine and would lose a little weight, only to gain it all back. It took me over 20 years of researching and lecturing on weight loss to figure it out. This book is the result.

Real stories
What others are saying
“
I've always loved sports and have always been an athlete. But then I became a mom and everything changed. [...] I was eating only 1200 calories and in the gym daily doing the stair climber, running on treadmills, and doing all kinds of things. Weight just wouldn't come off.
I had a terrible relationship with food. Every food was "bad" or "good" and I could never stick to my diet.
Then I finally met Dr. Alo. [...] Dr. Alo taught me not to punish myself in the gym and with food. I learned to enjoy, take days off, have diet breaks, improve my mental health and self-care. All while still losing weight, getting better definition, and improving my confidence.
With Dr. Alo's help I look nearly 20 years younger, I am stronger, I feel more confident and am happier than I have ever been (and I can actually keep up with my kids!)
