Of Bears and Weight Loss

Psychologist, stand-up comedian, and best-selling author Dr. Brian King reveals the techniques he used to lose 100 pounds, and provides guidance and humor to make your weight loss journey a healthy, sustainable, and even enjoyable one. 

Dr. Brian King was carrying an extra 100 pounds, taking up too much space in airplane seats and keeping the opposite sex at bay. For years he avoided the lifestyle modifications he knew were necessary to lose the weight and keep it off-despite being a life coach for others, he wasn't fully practicing what he preached. Then he got real. Dr. Brian, who trained as a neuroscientist and psychologist before touring the world as a stand-up comic and public speaker, embraced his understanding of human behavior and mindsets to reframe his approach to a healthy lifestyle. In this practical, humor-filled, and insightful guide, Dr. Brian delves deep into the significance of mindfulness, stress, habits, willpower, diet, exercise, and much more in losing weight and keeping it off.
