Robert Lalonde's ELH Diet focuses on weight loss & keeping the weight off

Welcome to this week's guest, Robert Lalonde. He is a Canadian author who writes about health, nutrition and weight loss. His books are based on research he carried out to lose weight and regain his health after a battle with cancer. Robert lives in the Georgian Bay area in Ontario, Canada, with his wife Marianne and their Shi Tzu, Lucy.

What Inspired You To Write Your First Book? I had been very ill for a number of years. During this time my health deteriorated and I kept putting on weight until I was finally diagnosed with cancer.

I started doing research about the causes of cancer while also looking for a good way to lose weight. It was at this point that I came across the link between diet and cancer.

At What Point Did You Decide To Write A Book? While doing my research I came across the fact that two thirds of the population are either overweight or obese. I also found out that 85 percent of dieters regain any weight they lose within one year of going on a diet!

It’s a big problem that affects all of us in one way or another. Even if you’re the one in three that isn’t overweight, the cost to the health care system affects you. I made the decision to contribute to a solution in any way I can.

Here’s the problem in a nutshell. People only think about losing weight and they don’t worry about being able to keep the weight off. And that’s the real problem; keeping it off.

It’s hard to understand why so many people keep making bad diet choices year after year. It’s a real life example of the meme that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting to get a different result. It makes no sense and that’s why I decided to write the book.

What Do You Think Readers Like About Your Book? I’ve always had the ability to take complex things and explain them in simple language. That’s what I do to understand things myself; I take the technical explanation and break it down into simple English to get a deeper understanding of the material.

I think the readers also like that it comes from personal experience. I’ve actually lived it and worked my way through it and I’m sharing that with my readers.
