"A no-holds-barred, tough-love guide to dealing with your emotional issues and changing your mindset in order to finally lose weight, from the creator of The Biggest Loser and Extreme Weight Loss reality TV shows. When Meredith hit the finish line at the Niagara Falls Marathon last year, viewers choked up. Who could help it? Here was a young woman who, just a few months earlier, had weighed in at 340 pounds. From barely being able to walk up the stairs to running 26.2 miles. The body is an amazing thing. And yet it's no match for the brain. It wasn't the strength of Meredith's body propelling her across the Niagara Falls finish line--it was the power of her mind. Viewers of Extreme Weight Loss and The Biggest Loser have seen the the trainers, the nutritionists, the doctors, and other health pros who appear on-screen--but they've never seen the heart and soul behind these amazing makeovers. That would be JD. He's the behind-the-scenes wizard who gets inside the heads of the shows' participants, encouraging, persuading, prodding, and inspiring them to succeed. Intimately involved in casting the shows' contestants, then seeing them through the weight loss process, he's the guy whose picture they tape onto their elliptical trainers and angrily scream at each night--then hug out of gratitude the next morning. Every fat person knows that you need to move more and eat less to shed pounds. Not exactly rocket science. The missing link in transformative weight loss is mental and emotional fortitude. This book gets readers to address the real reasons they're overweight (and nobody gets away with saying it's because they love food). With his combination of enthusiasm, empathy and no-holds-barred style, JD helps them unearth and tackle the unresolved issues they've buried under the French fries and chocolate chip cookies. Presented in three parts, The Big Fat Truth helps readers identify their real issues and then shake up their lives to do the impossible. Included throughout are inspiring stories, advice, and before-and-after photos from people JD has helped to lose weight along with quick tips for how to stay accountable and a 30-day plan for putting this advice into action."--Provided by publisher.
