I learned long ago that generic weight loss advice doesn’t work well for most people.
That’s because managing weight is personal, influenced by your likes and dislikes, health goals and personal challenges.
Different people have different struggles managing weight, depending on who they are and how they live their life.
This applies whether or not they’re taking one of the newer anti-obesity medications.
I help people who struggle with weight by first getting to know them and listening as they talk about their personal challenges.
I understand the complexity of weight management and how it’s not simply about eating less and moving more.
I wrote my book, Six Factors to Fit: Weight Loss that Works for You!, to give people who are struggling with weight a personalized, self-help weight management plan that targets their health behaviors.
If you’re looking to improve your health, here is what the Six Factors to Fit program can offer you:
1-A Personalized Roadmap to Improve your Health
Six Factors to Fit addresses all aspect of how you approach and live your life that get in the way of losing weight and keeping it off.
This includes one’s eating and activity patterns, sleep habits, stress response, self-care routine, body image or feeling stigmatized by one’s weight.
2-Better Meal Planning for a Healthier Life
Six Factors to Fit uses a progressive approach taking your current diet and habits and guiding you with nudges and tweaks to make your lifestyle healthier.
We show you how to build your own healthy-eating meal plan, based on your personal tastes and food preferences.
This applies if you’re someone who eats on the run or enjoys cooking at home.
3-Resources to Build Your Weight Management Team
Knowing that weight management really is a team sport, we discuss additional resources available to support each person’s program – whether you need dietary or physical activity guidance, psychological and emotional counseling, help in controlling your appetite or even surgical intervention.
Since managing weight is personal, we always recommend you get personalized help.

It is very personal. There are a 1000 different paths into the prison of obesity and 1000 different paths out. They told me my lifestyle change would be ‘Life-long,’ but it is also ‘Life-wide.’ It involved the full breadth of my life, each day, for the length of my life. The result? My lifestyle now delivers me the results I desire from my body/mind/spirit. Yes, weight loss is very personal. Oct 4, 2010 weight 404 pounds. Current weight 170 pounds.
