It might seem like a bit of a stretch, but one doctor swears that once a person is aware of their personality traits they will be able to achieve lasting weight loss. He has even created a quiz to help you get to know yourself better. Are you a hearty portioner, a hate-to-move struggler or a cannot-say-no-pleaser? You can find out with his Personality Quiz.

It is your mind that matters pretty much.

Dr. Robert Kushner says that the reason most humans fail to lose weight is because they focus on the food rather than the real problem at hand. It'is important to study your patterns and your habits to keep history from repeating itself. Understanding how to manage your personality traits is half of the overall battle.

Once you have identified your personality type, Dr. Kushner shows you how to get a handle on those bad habits. But what would the Personality Type Diet be without a meal plan. Dr. Kushner calls for a diet comprised of "super foods," plant-based foods that are loaded with minerals, vitamins, and fiber. These foods lower your risk for heart disease, diabetes, cancers, and other common ailments.
