Why this course
Get off the yo-yo diet train for good
I'm sure you are sick of losing and gaining back the same 20 to 30 pounds over and over again. I know I was. It is a vicious cycle, and it is hard to break.
I finally cracked the yo-yo diet code, and I now teach this system to other doctors at medical conferences and to my patients. I can't spend enough time with my patients in the office, so I created this online course for them.
Twenty years ago, we didn't know as much as we do now about weight loss. We thought you had to avoid bread and pasta to lose weight. In the last 5 to 10 years, research on diet, weight loss and nutrition has exploded. University labs have tested low fat versus low carb, nutrition timing, intermittent fasting versus eating throughout the day, and fasted versus non-fasted cardio. Today we have answers to most of the questions we used to ask.
We also have extensive research into human physique science. We used to think you had to "confuse your muscles", eat protein while working out, or train one body part per day to grow muscle. We now have those answers. Much of what we know about weight loss, muscle growth and body recomposition started as theories in the bodybuilding community, and research has since supported or dispelled them.
Physicians who heard me speak wanted a university-level course where they and their patients could learn this properly and ask questions. So I created this course.
What the research shows
Weight loss is simpler than the marketing makes it look
1
Food is food
My biggest pet peeve is plans that foster a bad relationship with food. Pizza is not "bad" and kale is not "good". Food is a mix of carbs, fat and protein that adds up to a calorie total. Use food as a tool to support your goals.
2
Weight loss improves heart health
Studies show that when you are in a calorie deficit and weight is coming off, your cardiovascular risk factors improve, whether you eat more fat, more carbs or more protein. We go over the studies.
3
Carbs or fat, your choice
When diets had the same calories and the same protein, people lost the same amount of weight whether they ate mostly fat or mostly carbs for the rest of their calories. So why avoid carbs? Eat what you enjoy.
4
Adherence wins
Long-term adherence is the best predictor of long-term success. People who ate foods they enjoyed, just less of them, were able to keep the weight off past 5 years. That is the goal of this course.
Why most plans fail
The 3 mistakes that keep people stuck
Physicians at my lectures kept asking for handouts, books and programs to give their patients. This course is the answer to that request.
Mistake #1
Buying the marketing instead of the health
Many plans are more style than substance: a secret formula, a photogenic workout, a fancy meal prep routine. The science of losing weight and keeping it off is simpler than that. If those plans have not worked for you, it is not your fault. You do not need restrictive diets, punishing workouts or to give up the foods you love.
Mistake #2
Believing cardio is the answer
Cardio can be a useful tool, but it is not a silver bullet. Spinning classes, HIIT, stair climbers and long runs do not work without the basic foundations of weight loss in place. In some cases, extreme amounts of endurance exercise have been linked to adverse changes in the heart (O'Keefe, Potential Adverse Cardiovascular Effects From Excessive Endurance Exercise, Mayo Clinic Proceedings, June 2012).
Mistake #3
Chasing short-term fixes
30, 60 and 90 day programs can take weight off fast, but restrictive diets and killer workouts eventually catch up with you. 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.
My story
I struggled with weight loss for over 20 years
I have been overweight and sometimes obese since college. I tried almost every diet you can imagine: Atkins, South Beach, Sugarbusters, Zone, Whole 30, intermittent fasting, keto, paleo and many others. I would lose a little weight, only to gain it all back.
It was frustrating and embarrassing, because I was the weight loss doctor and the obesity specialist. If anyone should know how to lose weight, it should be me.
It took me over 20 years of researching and lecturing on weight loss to figure it out. I paid over $70,000 out of pocket for education, training, courses, books and programs. My patients and clients love this system because they get to eat foods they enjoy and still lose weight, and it is backed by research.
My patients and clients kept asking me to make my program available to everyone, so I finally did.

Real stories
What people who took my course are saying
“
I was 240 pounds and I could barely breathe and keep up with my boys. My face was huge, my gut hung out, I had no energy. I couldn’t fit into anything anymore. I tried various types of diets over the years. I would lose weight and gain it all back. Over and over again. [...]
I’m an attorney with a very busy national law firm with multiple offices in different states and I have 4 young children, I had no time for anything. [...] Dr. Alo showed me that I don’t need time to make these simple changes.
I was desperate. I was defeated. I threw a Hail Mary and reached out to Dr. Alo hoping he could help. [...] Dr. Alo counseled me on the phone and through video and we got a plan together. [...]
I followed Dr. Alo’s plan precisely and I got down to 175 pounds! And have kept it off for two years now! And because of the education and teaching, this will be my new way of living. I can eat pretty much whatever I want, and I can still lose weight.
Thank you Dr. Alo!

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!)

Although I was athletic during high school and in my early 20s, my weight ballooned and my health declined in my 30s and 40s. [...]
I had tried lifting weights off and on for nearly a decade with little to no visible results. But when I started to follow Dr. Alo's advice regarding healthy food choices and developing a healthy relationship with food - I finally began to see the positive changes I knew I could achieve. Based entirely on the Dr. Alo's advice I was able to lose 40 lbs in five months and get stronger.
The most important part of my journey was the confidence I now have with food. I know that is okay to eat what I want. I know that if I gain weight that I can take it off. [...] If I can reverse 20 years of bad habits - you can also.
