Know Your Food History
The most important cornerstone for success is “patient history, totally ignored in almost all weight programs.

Since the word ‘diet’ was invented
“The only new thing to come along in the field of weight control since the word ‘diet’ was invented.”
Dr. Austin Kutscher
An icon and the only I know who reads obesity and succeeds.
Dr. Stephen Gullo has truly deserved world acclaim for his successful and groundbreaking approach to weight control. Many of my patients not only lose weight when they have failed before but also are able to keep the weight down. He is an icon and the only I know who reads obesity and succeeds.

Dr Stephen Gullo, guru of “dieting without deprivation” and “Thin Tastes Better”
Dr. Stephen Gullo has become a trusted friend. He personalizes his counsel for each patient, and asks each patient to send him a daily food diary, so we can plan our meals. He is kind, generous and supportive. Dr. Gullo pioneered the use of GG Bran Crispbreads (www.ggbrancrispbread.com), high-fiber “GG” crackers that help reduce appetite, for weight loss. Dr. G, as I call him, advises his patients to plan their daily meals and snacks, based on their lifestyle and “food history”. Dr. Gullo received his doctorate in psychology from Columbia University, and for more than a decade, he was a professor and researcher at Columbia University Medical Center. He is the former chair of the National Obesity and Weight Control Education Program of the American Institute for Life-Threatening Illness at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center. His first book, “Thin Tastes Better,” was a national bestseller. Dr. Gullo is president of the Center for Health in New York City.

Dr. Gullo’s expertise in this field is truly exceptional
One of Dr. Gullo’s greatest strengths is his comprehensive understanding of the psychological factors that contribute to weight gain and difficulty with weight management. He recognizes that successful weight control goes beyond simply counting calories or following a strict diet plan; it requires addressing the underlying emotional and behavioral patterns that influence eating habits.
Dr. Gullo’s approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, yet he also remains open to incorporating innovative strategies and techniques to best serve his patients. Whether through personalized meal plans, behavior modification strategies, or ongoing support and encouragement, he is committed to empowering his patients to make lasting changes and achieve their desired outcomes.
Beyond his clinical expertise, Dr. Gullo’s compassionate and empathetic demeanor fosters a supportive and nurturing environment for his patients. He takes the time to listen attentively to their concerns, providing guidance and encouragement every step of the way.
In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Stephen Gullo as a weight control specialist. His combination of expertise, empathy, and dedication make him an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to improve their health and achieve long-term success in weight management.

Dr Stephen Gullo is a magic wellness guru
Dr Stephen Gullo is a magic wellness guru. As former Editor in Chief of SELF (Conde Nast), a magazine devoted to health, I have seen and written about the top experts in wellness, nutrition and diet. Dr Gullo is the standout. He is a brilliant, compassionate, caring practitioner and, most important of all, his advice and strategies are compelling and effective. In this age of stress, anxiety and speed, his work with patients is invaluable and, for me, that’s some kind of magic.

Dr. Richard Krueger
My greatest supporter and cheerleader
Dr. Gullo changed my life. He has become my greatest cheerleader, mentor, and supporter. Never judgmental, never condescending but always, always looking to help and empower. I look forward to our sessions, where he takes the time to not just promote a healthy lifestyle, but to dig deep down and fix dark habits that had formed over time. Over time, he has become more than my nutritionist, but a trusted ally, therapist and friend. His voice is forever engrained in my head – not just when I have a plate of pasta in front of me – but when I confront any particular issue. He encourages me to shoot for the stars. He has instilled confidence when no one else could. Dr. Gullo is a gift and a treasure and someone that I will love and be forever grateful for.

Dr. Gullo is an experienced and gifted
Dr. Gullo has a practical, no-nonsense yet still compassionate approach to helping people lose weight. He relies on his training and many years of experience to hone in on helpful strategies. His focus on maximizing the intake of fish, eggs, and vegetables, while minimizing intake of carbs and sugar, is a sensible way to lose weight. I have benefitted from working with him, and anyone who takes their work with him seriously would benefit as well

Dr. Gullo has changed my life!
I’ve lost over 20 lbs. in just under 4 months with Dr. Gullo. The best thing is that I’m not “on a diet” – I’m making changes in my life that improve the way I eat, cook and relate to food altogether. My thinking is changed forever. I have the tools and strategies to live a much trimmer life. I cannot tell you how liberating and exciting this is for me.
