Gerard J. Musante, Ph.D., is the founder and director of the residential weight loss facility, Structure House Center for Weight Control and Lifestyle Change. As one of the nation's leading experts on obesity, he has helped thousands of overweight and obese people to win their battles with weight and other health issues. Dr. Musante serves as a consulting professor in psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Duke University Medical Center and the Duke University School of Medicine. He and his Structure House program have been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, People, USA Today, and on 60 Minutes, Anderson Cooper 360, and Good Morning America. He lives in Durham, North Carolina.
According to author Musante, admitted food addict Oprah Winfrey has lots of company: millions of people in the U.S. don't realize that they eat not to satisfy hunger but to deal with loneliness, stress, boredom and feelings of inadequacy. Founder and director of the 30-year-old Structure House Center for Weight Control in Durham, N.C., Musante believes these emotional prompts are behind many bad eating habits and, therefore, a huge factor in the U.S. epidemic of obesity. Understanding one's relationship with food is key to Musante's approach, which emphasizes overall health and fitness, and he lays out a proactive plan to do just that, without sticking to a diet or worrying about weight: "Weight loss is important but...I'm talking about changing how you view yourself, your relationship with food, your choices about how to live your life." Musante offers common-sense strategies that have worked for thousands of Center-goers, such as identifying one's food triggers and developing coping methods for each. He also includes easy-to-follow menu plans and ways to stay on track while eating out or on vacation. Both more and less than a traditional diet, this plan proscribes a lifestyle overhaul that appeals to mind, body and spirit.
