Author Dr Melanie Rotenberg explained to us how having fun and laughing helps keep you compliant so you can 
lose weight and keep it off. She said her husband challenged her to get up on stage and try stand up comedy and she did and she loved it.
It’s hard to imagine her being 50 pounds heavier – but she was and that weight gain and subsequent weight loss put her on the path to write this book in order to help people lose weight and keep it off forever.
She says that they key learning is that laughter is the key to weight loss: increasing joy, fun and pleasure in eating and activity decreases stress and negative emotions and results in permanent thinness. She believes that the happier you are then the thinner you can be.
