Breaking the Fat Pattern: The Diet Detective's Plan to End the Cycle of Yo-Yo Dieting

by Charles Stuart Platkin

In Breaking the Fat Pattern, Charles Stuart Platkin, "The Diet Detective," explores the behavioral reasons why, when we lose weight,we always gain it back, offering as an antidote a ten-step process for identifying and replacing our "fat patterns."

Research has proven that fad diets are misguided and that the only way to permanently lose weight is through behavioral and lifestyle modification. Learning to identify and break one's fat patterns enables readers to relearn how to create a relationship with food and fitness that is comfortable and maintainable.
"At last-an innovative approach that readers can use to lose weight, get fit, and stay trim for years to come."
