A special appreciation goes to Otto Kroeger for his pioneering efforts and expertise in the ever expanding field of typology and for writing the foreword to this book; to Hile Rutledge, CEO of Otto Kroeger Associates; to all of the thousands of people who participated in the weight management survey and the participants of Mary’s “A Colorful Approach to Weight Management” workshops, who contributed their opinions, preferences and personality approaches; to many of Dr. Redard’s patients, whose names cannot be mentioned out of confidentiality; and to my agent Janis Donnaud, for believing in this book. Foreword —Otto Kroeger — F YOU’VE EVER been discouraged about keeping your weight in control… if you’ve ever thought dieting successfully is a hopeless Icause… if you’ve ever been over fed with the wrong food… if you are “fed up” with diet programs… if you are convinced that diets are intentionally made to be complicated and difficult just so you’ll grow weary and fail… then this book is for you. What’s Your Diet Type? confronts, simplifies, and overcomes all these issues, and will give you the hope and encouragement you need to change your eating habits, drop pounds, and live healthfully. How? By helping you find a diet made just for your personality—yes: custom-made for your own unique personality.

Our personality is so integrated with how and what we eat that failure to engage our personality preferences when we try to control our weight sets us up for weight gain rather than weight loss. It is like someone who is right-handed being forced to use their left hand; the result is frustration and wasted effort. This book in a refreshing and affirming way changes all that. In the first part of the book, a detailed overview of personality differences helps us understand what our own personal nuances are all about, and
