BACKGROUND
Across the pond, there is one weight loss plan making big waves - it's The Food Doctor. Food Doctor was founded in Britain by Dr. Ian Marber, a highly recognized leader in nutrition, nearly 10 years ago. This program has yielded success for many through personalized plans created by one-on-one meetings with nutritionists and the support of the library of Food Doctor books. Food Doctor has been the saving grace for those who've already tried everything else. It stresses the key part food and good eating decisions and exercise play in your living a better life.
Food Doctor was originally founded in a clinic that still operates today from its one location in Holland Park, London. For almost a decade, Dr. Marber has lead a team of nutrition professionals who meet with clients to help identify specific concerns that could be affecting the way they lose weight. The Food Doctor Clinic sees patients regarding a wide variety of health issues not solely related to weight loss. Their specialties cover skin health, eating disorders, cardiovascular health, digestion, allergies, family planning, and so much more.
It's this firm medically-based foundation that has made The Food Doctor diet a trusted weight loss program. While most of us can't make it to the clinic personally, Dr. Marber has made it possible to follow his program in print, through eight different titles.
In the original book, The Food Doctor Diet, he recommends beginning with a seven-day jumpstart to grow comfortable with eating healthier. The book then outlines 10 easy guidelines for making healthier, smarter choices, a user-friendly eating plan and menus that promote flavorful, healthy meals.
This book was followed by the Everyday Diet Book, which guides you to a more balanced way of eating no matter what your lifestyle is. Dr. Marber lays out a plan that is safe and effective for the men, women, married, busy and everyone in between.
Other titles in Dr. Marber's library include:
- The Food Doctor Everyday Diet Cookbook
- The Food Doctor Diet Club Book
- The Food Doctor Healing Foods for Mind and Body
- The Food Doctor for Babies and Children
- In Bed with The Food Doctor
- The Food Doctor In the City

CONCLUSION
The Food Doctor is a medically-based sound program in Britain. But it’s largely unknown in the U.S. There’s no reason for anyone across the globe to not consider this plan as much as any in their home country. But people may still feel more comfortable with something closer to them.
