Dr. Alan Gettis, author of "Seven Times Down Eight Times Up" Joins the Staff of WeightLossBuddy. com
Dr. Alan Gettis, of River Edge NJ who holds degrees in both Nutrition, and Psychology adds his formidable skills to the Weightlossbuddy. com Team of Experts
(PRWEB) September 15, 2004
Dr. Alan Gettis, author of the popular book “Seven Times Down, Eight Times Up,” has joined the online panel of nutrition, fitness and health experts of WeightLossBuddy. com, a new dieting/exercise site that not only helps people lose weight but also helps them keep it off for good.
Dr. Alan Gettis is a nutritionist and clinical psychologist. He holds degrees from four different universities, including a Ph. D. in clinical psychology and an M. S. from The Institute of Human Nutrition, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.
For the past 30 years he has maintained a private practice in northern New Jersey
“WeightLossBuddy. com is not a diet program,” says Gettis, one of a dozen WeightLossBuddy. com experts available for consultation. “It’s not an exercise program. It’s a support system that does what no other program does: It pairs you with another Weight Loss Buddy, either online or in real life, who provides you with emotional support 24/7. You drop weight, and you learn to drop that chocolate chip cookie before you even think about taking that first bite.”
“Studies have shown that people who exercise together and diet together are much more successful at losing weight than those who go it alone,” Gettis says. “That’s why WeightLossBuddy. com works.”
Gettis’ “Seven Times Down, Eight Times Up”” ($17.95 paperback) which is available through WeightLossBuddy. com, teaches through the art of story, the indefatigable nature of human spirit.
By logging onto WeightLossBuddy. com, Gettis says, “people learn to change their bad habits, and everyone wins because everyone loses.”
In addition to pairing people with weight-loss/exercise partners, WeightLossBuddy. com, which was established in 2004, offers information on nutrition, health, self-esteem, stress reduction as well as motivational newsletters, healthy, appetizing recipes and success stories from members. And itÂ’s all free. All visitors have to do is sign up on WeightLossBuddy. com.
Visitors also have access to free excerpts on activities designed to make permanent lifestyle changes easier from “The Weight Loss Buddy® 12-Week Challenge Activity Book,” as well as excerpts of ideas from another WeightLossBuddy. com exclusive paperback book, “50 Weight Loss Tips and Tricks.” They are available only through WeightLossBuddy. com.
WeightLossBuddy. com also offers a 12-week Challenge program of exercise, nutrition and behavior modification that is geared toward groups of people who want to change their lives by using the Weight Loss Buddy system.
