Weight Loss Book by a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist

Everything I teach, in one place. No logging, no giving up the foods you love, no magic pill. Just a proven system from a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist who has been exactly where you are.

Petagaye McLaughlin

So far my favorite read for 2025! I love the author's perspective on calorie consumption. Losing and maintaining weight in my 40s has always been a struggle, but I've lost 12lbs without dieting thanks to this book! It's opened up a whole new perspective and lifestyle around food.

"I've lost 12lbs without dieting."

“HOA Resident of Vero Beach, Florida

The advice is actionable, offering practical tools, such as a free Excel spreadsheet to track progress and personalize their approach, mapping out a clear path to their goal weight.

"This tool empowers readers to take control of their journey."

Mike and Paula Freed

Backed by science and logic. The author covers a lot of ground while not losing the point in covering so many topics. Not easy to do.

"Practical advice, with a dose of humor, from a knowledgeable source."

I wrote this book because I couldn’t find one that told the truth.

Most weight loss books are written by people with one goal: to sell books. I’m a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist who lost 34 pounds in his 50s, with his own system, and kept it off for 15 years.

This book is the culmination of that journey.

Everything I’ve learned in 46 years. In one book.

NO APPS. NO MAGIC PILLS. JUST THE TRUTH.

This book is for anyone who is tired of starting over.

It’s for the person who has tried every program, every app, every quick fix, and still can’t figure out why nothing sticks. It’s for the person who refuses to give up pizza forever. And it’s for the person who is finally ready to stop looking for a magic pill and start building something that lasts.

I’m not against GLP-1 medications.

I’m against the five seconds of airtime the fine print gets: the part about diet and exercise that nobody teaches you while you’re on them. GLP-1s can help you lose weight. My book helps you keep it off.

And if you’re inspired by the Make America Healthy Again movement, my approach fits. Not elimination. A realistic, sustainable reduction in ultra-processed foods that most people can actually stick to. You don’t have to go cold turkey to make a real difference in your health.

My system works alongside whatever path you’re already on.

This book belongs in your toolkit.

ON GLP-1S OR INSPIRED BY MAHA?

Inside the book you’ll get access to my exclusive Portion Permission System, an Excel tool I developed to take the guesswork out of weight loss.

See exactly how long it will take you to reach your goal weight

You decide which changes you’re willing to make to your eating habits. You plug them in.

The tool shows you exactly how long it will take to reach your goal weight based on those changes alone. No logging every meal. No counting every calorie. Just a clear, realistic roadmap built around the changes you actually choose to make.

It is on this excel tool that you log your monthly exercise calories from your committed 'Exercise Prescription'. You will see the impact on weight loss and how much more food you can eat once at goal weight.

Here’s a preview of what it looks like for a 40 pound and 100 pound weight loss goal. The full interactive version is waiting for you inside the book.
