Why most plans fail
The 3 biggest mistakes that keep women stuck
Mistake #1
Buying the marketing instead of the health
Many plans are more style than substance: a secret formula, a photogenic workout, a fancy meal prep routine. The science of losing weight and keeping it off is simpler than that. If those plans have not worked for you, it is not your fault. You do not need restrictive diets, punishing workouts or to give up the foods you love.
Mistake #2
Believing cardio is the answer
Cardio can be a useful tool, but it is not a silver bullet. Spinning classes, HIIT, stair climbers and long runs do not work without the basic foundations of weight loss in place. In some cases, extreme amounts of endurance exercise have been linked to adverse changes in the heart (O'Keefe, Potential Adverse Cardiovascular Effects From Excessive Endurance Exercise, Mayo Clinic Proceedings, June 2012).
Mistake #3
Chasing short-term fixes
30, 60 and 90 day programs can take weight off fast, but restrictive diets and killer workouts eventually catch up with you. Research shows most people regain much of the weight they lost within 3 to 5 years, and a third to two thirds end up heavier than when they started.
The problem is not you
You need an approach that is simple, sustainable and lasting
Most results are built on methods that were never designed for people like you, with a demanding career, a busy home life, friends, family and hobbies all needing your constant attention and energy.
You do not need the latest revolutionary diet or a fancy workout routine. You need an approach that works with your body's natural tendencies, behaviors and cravings, rather than against them. If you are only going to lose the weight and regain it a few months later, what's the point?
I'd like to share my simple, science-backed approach to weight loss, which I hope will be the last weight loss system you'll ever need.
A science-backed, body positive program
What the research shows
Research on diet, weight loss and nutrition has exploded in the last 5 to 10 years. University labs have tested low fat versus low carb, nutrition timing, intermittent fasting and fasted cardio. We now have answers to most of the questions we used to ask.
1
Food is food
My biggest pet peeve is plans that foster a bad relationship with food. Pizza is not "bad" and kale is not "good". Food is a mix of carbs, fat and protein that adds up to a calorie total. Use food as a tool to support your goals.
2
Weight loss improves heart health
Studies show that when you are in a calorie deficit and weight is coming off, your cardiovascular risk factors improve, whether you eat more fat, more carbs or more protein. We go over the studies.
3
Carbs or fat, your choice
When diets had the same calories and the same protein, people lost the same amount of weight whether they ate mostly fat or mostly carbs for the rest of their calories. So why avoid carbs? Eat what you enjoy.
4
Adherence wins
Long-term adherence is the best predictor of long-term success. People who ate foods they enjoyed, just less of them, were able to keep the weight off past 5 years. That is the goal of The Mommy Body Makeover.
Why I created it
My mission is to help busy moms finally lose the weight
As a father of four, I have seen the struggle with weight gain and weight loss in my wife, my friends and my patients. Add the hormonal changes, the mood changes and the mental and emotional demands of motherhood, and it becomes really hard to lose weight, keep it off and eat foods you enjoy.
The inspiration for this program was my wife. She is a mother to our four children and a pharmacist at one of the biggest hospitals in the city, juggling appointments, school, sports and her own fitness. One day she asked me to design a program that was quick and simple, that let her eat what she wanted and still lose weight, and that explained weight loss in plain language, not doctorspeak. Her friends kept asking, "Hey, can you ask your husband...", and she wanted one simple resource she could point them to.
So The Mommy Body Makeover was born. It has everything you need to learn about losing weight properly, with a downloadable workbook, starting from the very basics and going deep into advanced topics. You don't have to exercise to lose weight, but there is an included fitness program, and even 1 hour per week is enough.

Real stories
What moms are saying
“
I've always loved sports and have always been an athlete. But then I became a mom and everything changed. I had no time to do anything. My body changed. [...] Now, I have 3 kids. I tried every fad diet there was and just couldn't maintain weight loss. I was eating only 1200 calories and in the gym daily doing the stair climber, running on treadmills, and doing all kinds of things. Weight just wouldn't come off.
I had a terrible relationship with food. Every food was "bad" or "good" and I could never stick to my diet.
Then I finally met Dr. Alo. [...] Dr. Alo taught me not to punish myself in the gym and with food. I learned to enjoy, take days off, have diet breaks, improve my mental health and self-care. All while still losing weight, getting better definition, and improving my confidence. I know I can eat whatever I want, whenever I want and still maintain or lose weight. If I gain weight, I just shave it off. I'm so grateful!
With Dr. Alo's help I look nearly 20 years younger, I am stronger, I feel more confident and am happier than I have ever been (and I can actually keep up with my kids!)
