His name is William Anderson , aka Bill, and by profession he is a psychotherapist.
But he too is famous for having written a book entitled ” The Anderson Method “ in which the author explains precisely how he managed to fight obesity in a very practical way after 25 years of failure with various diets. And to maintain a healthy weight even as we age.
In addition, by eating the foods he loves and without depriving himself of anything. 
The approach of this psychotherapist is in fact different from following a simple diet to lose weight. His method is based on behavioral therapyand he was one of the first to talk about it as an effective way to lose weight without getting it back. Through this approach the person must recognize the causes of his overweight and address them, identifying those bad habits that have caused our overweight.

Remedying and correcting them allows you to lose weight in a stable way, while going on a diet is not the answer, because this correction is “external”, in short, it acts more as an obligation than as an awareness. Acting on one’s behavior and adopting specific techniques, on the other hand, allows us to lose weight forever.

In this article we see 4 of the tips that William Anderson explains in his book, and which are the cornerstones of the Anderson Method. 

THE ANDERSON METHOD TO SLIMMING

1. Don’t go on a diet, but keep a food diary. Going on a diet is stressful for nine out of ten people. It means adopting a new diet, following it step by step, having to count calories and sometimes even macronutrients, or how many carbohydrates, fats and proteins we eat. Keeping a food diary of our current diet, and not of the diet, allows us to be aware of what we eat every day.From that moment, we proceed in small steps, making minimal corrections.For example, using stevia instead of sugar, or skim cheeses if we love cheese. Or increase the vegetables on your plate if we love to eat pasta for lunch. Or we may find that we snack too many during the day. What if we ate a raw carrot instead of one of these snacks?
2. Don’t stare at the weight on the scale. Weighing yourself is stressful and for many people it’s like looking in the mirror at their own failures. But there’s no point in going on a diet, dropping and then eating back and regaining weight. So the scales may not be our ally if we want sustainable and non-stressful weight loss over time. Instead of weighing ourselves, let’s think about how much food we need to lose weight. For example, if we are sedentary, we can progressively reduce the portions and do some walking. An online calorie calculator can be useful to us after a month that we have already adopted the changes of point one.
3. Eat what makes you happy. Just cut back on portions.
4. Plan your meals. Anderson explains that it is better to have fixed meals and not eat outside of them otherwise. This allows us to greatly reduce calories if we are among those who munch all day. If we eat more during the weekend, let’s do it without unnecessary guilt and on Monday or Tuesday let’s limit ourselves to fruit, vegetables and very small meals.
