The Big Fat Truth will make you uncomfortable, and it should. If you do not cry and sweat a little when you read this book, and feel uneasy and a little excited at the same time, you did not dig deep enough.
Being comfortable is keeping you right where you are today: unhappy, unmotivated and sitting on the sidelines. Being uncomfortable is where the JD magic really starts. JD sees a much bigger brighter future for you. This book will not only help you see it, too, but it will help you believe you can get there. So if you are ready to stop playing the blame game, get rid of the victim mentality, and stop looking for a magic bullet for your weight problems . . . if you are ready to be your own hero and do the work as the star of your own TV show, then The Big Fat Truth is absolutely the right book for you.
Every fat person (yes, 'fat person' - there is no sugarcoating here) knows that you need to move more and eat less to shed pounds. Not exactly rocket science. Yet that simple formula doesn't get to the root of what makes someone top out at 500 pounds, or sometimes just carry an extra fifty. The missing link in transformative weight loss is mental and emotional fortitude. Mining the same problem-solving and motivational skills JD has used so successfully with reality show contestants, The Big Fat Truth gets readers to address the real reasons they're overweight (and nobody gets away with saying it's because they love food). With his combination of enthusiasm, empathy, no-holds-barred style, and master story-telling abilities, JD helps them unearth and tackle the unresolved issues they've buried under the French fries and chocolate chip cookies.
Presented in three parts, The Big Fat Truth includes short straight-to-the-point chapters that help readers identify their real issues, create their own reality show, and then shake up their lives to do the impossible.

'Though the process of weight-loss is a complex one, and controversy may exist in the medical and nutritional worlds about how to best accomplish this goal, one thing is certain: it all starts with the mind-body connection. No one knows this better than JD Roth. If he could write a prescription for that, it would be 'inspiration: take one daily; repeat indefinitely'!' Jennifer L. Ashton, M.D., F.A.C.O.G., ABC News Senior Medical Contributor on Good Morning America and co-host of The Doctors
'On camera, you see incredible stories of transformation . . . but off camera is where the magic happens.
