Dr. A's Habits of Health Helps Thousands Maintain Permanent Weight Loss

ANNAPOLIS, Md., April 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Wayne Scott Andersen, a.k.a. Dr. A, a leading critical care doctor, devotes his full energy to helping people take back control of their health and achieve optimal health in their lives. For the past seven years, Dr. A has helped over 100,000 people improve their health through a revolutionary new approach which helps the individual overcome the obesegenic world which has over 65% of Americans overweight or obese.

Most popular diets fail to sustain weight loss in the long run because they don't address the multi-faceted needs for successful permanent weight loss. Dr. A's personalized program starts out by helping people change their focus to creating health rather than reacting to weight gain. With the success of losing up to 2-5 pounds per week by eating meals every few hours and smaller portions of low glycemic foods, permanent weight loss becomes a reality.

His comprehensive step-by-step program is now published in Dr. A's Habits of Health, The Path to Permanent Weight Control and Optimal Health (Habits of Health Press) which informs and motivates people about how to create health in their lives when the epidemic of obesity, diabetes and heart disease, and the financial impact of chronic disease continues to escalate among Americans.

"Before I met Dr. A, I was morbidly obese. I hated how I looked, hated how I felt, and I hated myself. The weight loss phase of the program was like following a recipe -- it was easy and didn't take a lot of time. I soon began losing weight steadily by planning my meals with portion controlled foods and felt encouraged. Hunger was not gnawing at me with constant urges to eat and in just seven months I lost 135 pounds," says Nancy Pettit, who has achieved optimal health for over six years. "Now, with Dr. A's Habits of Health I have all the tools to stay healthy. It has made a radical difference in my health, self-esteem, marriage and my relationships with others."

"It's not about breaking habits because that is extremely hard, but creating new healthy habits in baby steps," says Dr. Andersen. "My goal is to get America healthy by providing a comprehensive, easy to follow program that starts with helping the individual follow an eating plan for weight control and optimal health. Once healthier eating is achieved, the individual progresses to an all-inclusive plan including activity, getting a good night sleep, stress reduction, the ability to leverage social support for long-term success and longevity to help people live longer once they are optimally healthy."

"My wife and I lost over 55 pounds each on our journey to optimal health and best of all Dr. Andersen, as our personal health coach, has given us education, tools, and the support to keep it off," says Gary Shaw, who achieved optimal health for over five years.

Dr. A's Habits of Health is easy to read and coaches people to develop their own healthy map to achieve success and provides tools to help them obtain health in their life such as a network of health coaches, dietary guidelines and portion-controlled meal recommendations, such as Medifast for convenience and safety.

Dr A's Habits of Health is available at retail for $34.95 at www.amazon.com or through www.drwayneandersen.com.
