Dr Timothy Sharp
While most diets tell you if you lose weight you’ll be happy, in a revolutionary approach to weight loss, Dr. Timothy Sharp says it’s all about getting happy first, and as a result, we’ll lose weight. Dr Sharp has founded the Happiness Diet, this is a diet that applies positive psychology to weight loss – something which has never been done before.
He tested this theory on a recent documentary that aired on SBS featuring five hopeful contestants – with outstanding results.
So, how can we find happiness and tackle our weight demons? Dr Sharp is here to tell us all we need to know to get to our happy place.
