TAKE 5 aids ALL weight-challenged people, plus everyone else who have any concerns about their weight, to establish a new more healthful relationship with food.

Changing how you relate to food by transforming your overall diet lifestyle is necessary for lasting results.

Meticulously researched, solidly-grounded in brain science, psychological principles and common sense, TAKE 5 helps you understand how your instinctually-driven cravings and bad habits, impact your eating behaviors. You'll learn to counter them and redirect them, and as a byproduct, lose weight permanently, reduce stress, lower inflammation, and thereby boost your immune system.

ABOUT THE AUTHORKen Derow once worked for the forces of "evil." He enjoyed an almost 40-year career in consumer marketing research, helping large, multinational corporations to expand their wallets while expanding your waistline. He helped to stoke our cravings for Pepperidge Farms Goldfish, Taskykate Krimpets, or any number of other mass-produced ultra-processed junk foods. Those empty calories may have found their way into your house because of his extensive experience in consumer behavior, decision-making and psychology. However, his passion for promoting unhealthful products waned as his own waistline expanded and he partook in his own journey to become more healthful and lose weight. Like many, he struggled to find the right path to balance his craving for junk foods against his conscious desire to consume more healthful choices. He extensively researched brain science, psychology, eating behavior and the basis for the cravings that drive snacking, overeating and bingeing. This research was the basis for the TAKE 5 book and the diet lifestyle plan he developed allowed him to achieve a very significant weight loss and maintain it permanently. The huge amount of secondary research Ken conducted into consumer behavior and decision-making, and his own personal transformational journey from obesity to being a normal weight, even slim person, was the inspiration and the basis for the TAKE 5 book.
