Rabbi Yonason Herschlag

Hi! I’m Yonason. After knee surgery at age 43, my waist line spiraled out of control, reaching 44 inches at its worst. Dieting and exercise wasn’t helping me manage my weight even with a high level of self-discipline. Despite going to numerous licensed dietitians, the yo-yo effects never panned out to long-term sustainable fat loss. Realizing the need for a gym in my city (Beitar Illit, Israel) I opened one in 2013 (at age 49), obtaining personal trainer certification through Wingate Institute. Wingate sparked my interest in nutrition and physiology, leading me to research endocrinology in relation to diet, exercise, weight loss, and muscle development. Combining this research with the diet recommendations of Maimonides and the Talmud has helped hundreds of my clients locally. To cope with the growing demand for my diet advice and broaden my reach, I put together notes of my research and proven weight loss tools, and invested in several rounds of top-professional editing to create the best concise presentation I could on this topic. My self-published effort lacks the connections and marketing web of an established publisher, but word of mouth quickly sparked booming sales, and I thank you for it. I greatly appreciate your feedback on Amazon, and I will respond to any questions/requests you have in the review section here, or you can email me: herschlag@012.net.il or yonasonherschlag@gmail.com
