about: I'm an assistant professor of family medicine at the University of Ottawa, and the founder and medical director of the Bariatric Medical Institute—dedicated to non-surgical weight management since 2004.I've been called a "nutrition watchdog" by the Canadian Medical Association Journal, and "Canada's most outspoken obesity expert" by the press. My blog, Weighty Matters has been a bit of an obsession of mine since 2005, and I'm pathologically attached to Twitter. My first book for the public, The Diet Fix: Why Diets Fail and How to Make Yours Work will be published by Crown in March 2014.
