Dr. Frank has done extensive research to uncover the little-known truth about why a tragic 96% of all weight loss efforts end in failure. His identification of the weight loss "Recipe For Success" and the "Top Four Success Factors" led to his discovery that the real, root cause of most weight problems lies in our own self-sabotaging thinking -- which is the true (but hidden) source of our self-sabotaging behaviors related to both eating and exercise.
So now, for the first time in history, we can eliminate our weight problems once and for all -- at the root -- instead of merely attacking the symptoms (as all "diet & exercise" methods do. Dr. Frank's pioneering work in this area has now made it possible for virtually any overweight person to enjoy safe, struggle-free, and lasting weight loss without drugs, pills, or dieting.
Why are so many of us chronically overweight and out of shape? Not because we don't try hard enough, but because we try hard at the wrong things.
The latest clinical research makes it clear that trying to get fit or lose fat through diet and exercise alone is "like trying to get rid of dandelions with a lawn mower." Sure, you may get some visible results. But until you solve your problem at its root, it just keeps coming back -- and bigger ever year!
It is said that "the truth will set you free." Well the sad truth is that virtually no one understands the real reasons why they fail (…and fail, and fail…) at weight loss.
Because lasting weight loss success is not about what's in your fridge or your gym bag, but what goes on between your ears. And if success has eluded you in spite of all your efforts, you can be sure it's not diet or exercise you need to focus on…but why you can't stick withany healthy nutrition plan or workout program. Doesn't that just make sense?
The good news is that we finally understand the long-hidden real reasons why we have struggled and failed for so long, and exactly what we need to do to get safely and quickly to our healthiest weight, and stay there!
My mission is to help you discover the truth about your own tremendous potential, and to find and eliminate the self-sabotaging behavior that is -- and always has been -- the real, root cause of your fat-loss failures!
Yours in total health,
