About the Author
For more than forty years as a specialist and family doctor, Dr Tarnower would warn patients to eat sensibly and stay trim. When they complained that diets didn't work, he decided to find a diet that would work. Over twenty years ago - at the time he founded the Scarsdale Medical Centre - Dr Tarnower began developing a weight-loss programme that was simple, safe - and fast. A programme that made it easy to stay trim and healthy for life.
