Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’ve always had a passion for discovering ways of removing obstacles that limit human potential, and for finding simple solutions to complex problems. I’ve been working on The Slim Habit for more than ten years. I may sound a long time, but I’ve written several versions and deliberately not published them. The reason? I wanted to make sure that The Slim Habit that I did publish would answer people’s problems, that it could change their lives for the better. In a world burdened by an obesity epidemic, where those in need of an answer to their weight problems have been ill-served by diet fads and quick fixes, my prime motivation has been to reveal the true facts, simply and clearly, about why people put on weight. The aim of the book is to offer a better understanding about exactly why weight gain happens, and to provide an easy-to-do way of losing it – permanently.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Slim Habit fulfills my ambition to provide a solution that I believe will make a real and lasting difference to peoples’ lives.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write small sections at a time and ensure that I have my facts right. Much of what I do is interpreting facts and putting them into a language that can be easily understood – and that resonate with the reader.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Dr Robert Lustig – my hero – and of course John Yudkin
What are you working on now?
I’m putting all my efforts into marketing The Slim Habit right now.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I think I’ve yet to discover the best method – my website www.slimhabit.com works well…
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Inspiration comes from lots of hard work
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
I think the best advice is not to give advice!

What’s next for you as a writer?
More research, more reading.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
