edit data

I'm an assistant professor of family medicine at the University of Ottawa, and the founder and medical director of the Bariatric Medical Institute—dedicated to non-surgical weight management since 2004.

I've been called a "nutrition watchdog" by the Canadian Medical Association Journal, and "Canada's most outspoken obesity expert" by the press.

My blog, Weighty Matters has been a bit of an obsession of mine since 2005, and I'm pathologically attached to Twitter.

My first book for the public, The Diet Fix: Why Diets Fail and How to Make Yours Work will be published by Crown in March 2014. ...more

Quotes by Yoni Freedhoff (?)

“Plenty of people are taught that the magic bullet of weight loss is to simply “eat less and move more.” Worse, many people believe that exercise, an incredibly enjoyable and healthful behavior, must be taken to unenjoyable extremes if weight is a concern.”

“One of the largest drivers of diet-related chronic disease is misinformation, and the playing field we face as consumers in our supermarkets is anything but level, with food manufacturers enjoying a very unfair advantage. With health claims, both overt and covert (implied), and governments that don’t seem to care, consumers are left to fend for themselves in the face of the food industries’ massive marketing machines.”
