The title has several meanings. For weight loss to work and especially to be able to keep weight off, the habit and mindset changes you make need to fit your life and lifestyle. In other words, the program must be personalized and meaningful to you as an individual and for long-term success. Also, by using a large database of over 10,000 individuals and applying the scientific method of factor analysis, I was able to identify six distinct factors that are related to being overweight or having obesity. In Six Factors to Fit, you find out your highest scoring factors and based on your results, we give you step by step guidance with nudges and tweaks to help you lose weight and get healthier. This is very different from the one-size-fits-all restrictive diet plans you may have tried in the past.

Most food-focused diet plans can help people lose weight but because they’re so restrictive and often don’t address other issues like stress, activity, sleep, behavior change or mindset, people are not equipped with what to do when life gets in the way. So they fall back into their old habits and patterns of behavior and thoughts that lead them to regaining their weight. The 6 factors in the book are the top default habits and mindset patterns people fall back into.

For nearly the past 40 years, I have been helping patients lose weight and embrace the healthier habits that fit their lives. I've also been studying the behavior patterns of people who are trying to lose weight and through my latest research, I discovered that these behavior patterns cluster into six “factors” that are major barriers to successful weight control. Once you know your factors, I can personalize a plan that will help you lose weight and keep it off.
