Dr George Blair-West is a medical doctor, psychiatrist and the bestselling author of the ‘adult book’, Weight Loss for Food Lovers: Understanding our minds and why we sabotage our weight loss. He is a professional speaker and runs workshops on the psychology of weight management in adults and children for health professionals (primarily doctors, psychologists and dietitians) around the world. Outside of his clinical practice, he is the President of the Obesity Prevention and Treatment Society. He was invited to present his work at the International Congress on Obesity in 2006. In a previous life he spent three years as a Senior Clinical Lecturer at the University of Queensland, researching and publishing on depression, suicide and efficiencies in mental health service delivery.

Penny is a psychologist with over 25 years clinical experience. She has explored the extensive research into both weight management and managing child behaviour in great depth. This book combines her clinical skills and her lifelong passion for food.

George and Penny live, and are  in private practice together, in Brisbane, Australia. They  have two (thankfully slim) teenage children who love their veggies as well as their chocolate and lollies.
