Forget everything you’ve been taught about dieting. In his best-selling book, Always Hungry?, renowned endocrinologist Dr. David Ludwig explains why traditional diets don’t work. Learn a radical new plan to nourish your body to health and feel great as you lose weight without hunger.
For over three decades, Dr. Ludwig has been at the forefront of research in nutrition and metabolic health. His groundbreaking studies show that our biology has more to do with hunger and cravings than we’ve been led to believe. His finding that “overeating doesn’t make you fat; the process of getting fat makes you overeat” shifts the weight loss mentality. Make the move from shame, blame, and guilt to one of compassion and empowerment. Listen to more in the video links on this page.
Always Hungry? turns dieting on its head with a three-phase program that ignores calories and targets fat cells directly. The recipes and meal plan include luscious high-fat foods (like nuts and nut butters, full-fat dairy, avocados, and dark chocolate), savory proteins, and natural carbohydrates. This is dieting without deprivation.

“Dr. Ludwig explains why throwing out our calorie-counters and paying more attention to the quality of our diets can result in a healthier weight.”

“Ludwig combines cutting-edge science and clinical experience into an achievable eating pattern that anyone could follow.”

“Always Hungry is a powerful book that breaks apart every myth about weight loss, and explains for the first time why we get fat and why we are always hungry. Once in a generation a scientist comes along who tells a new story about why we are sick and how we can heal. Dr. David Ludwig is that scientist.”

“For decades Dr. David Ludwig’s research has formed the backbone of other diet programs.”
