SubscribeMy Big Fat Greek Diet
What happens when you get a Greek doctor who loses a whole lot of weight? A new book called "My Big Fat Greek Diet" by Dr. Nick Yphantides.
"I had to straddle two scales to actually figure out my weight and it was on the first day of my diet that I really realized for the first time that I weighed 467 pounds," he remembers.
From a brief look over this book, it seems like an inspiring story of one mans huge weight loss success. The basis of his weight loss is altering his eating habits:
"I made some amazing but very simple observations," he says. "One of the things I observed watching other people eating is that people who struggle with their weight constantly wipe up everything in front of them. Those people who are naturally slender, they learn how to eat when they are hungry. They don't eat for all the other reasons obese people eat, and they learn how to stop eating when appropriately full."
He also relates some of the difficult challenges he went through as a larger man. This book isn't so much about a weight loss formula, but a motivational story. The book is available from Amazon here.
I think you are an amazing person for what you have done. I have been stuggleing with my weight for most of my life and now I am trying again. I saw your story in the paper and then you were on breakfast T.V but I had to go to work so I missed it. I can't wait to get your book. I have not found it yet.

I was inspired by your book My Big FAT GREEK DIEt. I read it and I have started my own journey. I have to loose 150 pounds and I always thought I could not do it but with reading what you did It gave me the motivation and inspiration to loose the weight. I started a week ago and I already lost 10 pounds. I am afraid of failing but I know in my heart I have to do this for my children and my husband and most of all for myself. THank you for inspiring me.
ReplyI'm actually thinking of starting this diet. I have alot of weight to lose as well, 160 lbs, most of my weight came from having my kids and then stress and not eating all day and gorging at night. So here I go I'll keep back reporting how it goes.
ReplyI heard you on Focus on the Family and looked you up afterward on the internet. I have now almost finished your book and started my own transformation Monday April 24th. I've been over weight most of my life. In recent years I have learned to cut my portions greatly and this has helped me but I still struggled to lose the almost 100 lbs. I have to lose. The key that I was missing I found in your book. And for me that was having people hold me accountable. I told my bible study group a few days before I began and it has made all the difference in the world. They are calling me and asking me how I'm doing. I've lost 5 lbs. and expect to continue until I reach my goal. Thank you for not giving up and reaching out to others.
ReplyI found this book while browsing the diet books section. Needless to say I bought it, read it and did it. I lost 100 lbs in 9 months, then went on to run a marathon. A truly inspirational story to read. It's really about your mind on how you see yourself.
ReplyI read Dr. Nicks book prior to starting my own liquid fast progrm. I have read the book three times and it inspired me to not give up on my own journey. I have lost 64 lbs. since March 2006 and am still losing. It gives very good things to follow. I think of his quotes on a daily basis.
