I have been driven by an interest in personal health and physical fitness for over 50 years. While I have never suffered from any of the maladies that have driven many people to seek improved health practices, I have been moved by the burning notion that we all can improve our current health situation, if we just apply a little knowledge, patience, energy and will power. Although I didn’t initially choose a career in healthcare, my interest, curiosity and propensity towards personal health improvement and preservation has increasingly moved me from my business roots to a very well rounded and knowledgeable devotee of natural health practices. Sustainable Weight Loss, and this companion workbook, were created for you. It is my sincere hope that you can use this book to begin an exciting new chapter in your life, that will lead you on the rewarding journey to improved weight control, health and self-esteem.
