Food Sobriety

Food Sobriety is for anyone who wants to lose weight. Inspired by the traditions of rural Latin America Food Sobriety is more than a diet. Its a philosophical alternative to our neurotic modern food culture. The Food Sobriety approach was developed by author Dan Fenyvesi over years of working with weight loss in both the United States and Nicaragua. The second-poorest country in the Western Hemisphere Nicaragua has in one generation seen its incidence of obesity skyrocket to rates on par with those of the United States. This dramatic change so captivated Fenyvesi that he spent three years studying in the country including -- via a Fulbright Scholar grant -- a year teaching at the National University of Nicaragua. In his studies he found that Nicaraguans who still ate a traditional diet were slim and fit. Adopting elements of both their diet and their refreshing perspective on life he has since helped hundreds of his North American patients lose weight. The science underlying Food Sobriety is presented in a light fun fashion and the recipes are easy and inexpensive.
