Diet & Fitness Experts

Diet Psychologist

"Welcome! I'm here to help you understand and resolve the emotional obstacles to health and fitness. I call these obstacles Fattitudes. Fattitudes sabotage our eating -- sometimes subconsciously -- and hold us back from reaching our weight loss goals. My articles and quizzes will help you face your Fattitudes, and you can always talk to me directly on my message board. Remember, until you deal with the demons, you can't tackle the fat."

Dr. Jeff is a clinical psychologist with more than 20 years of professional experience. He has treated thousands of clients struggling with weight issues and is currently the director of the Dayton-based Counseling Center for Emotional Overeating. He and his wife, Norean, are the authors of Fattitudes: Beat Self-Defeat and Win Your War with Weight, a self-help book that focuses on emotional overeating.
