About Bob Greene

Those who have followed Bob Greene over the years have come to know him as a leading expert in nutrition, fitness and weight loss.

Indeed, many of his books have gone on to become best sellers, and he's turned his well—known Best Life Diet series into a successful website as well as his own line of Bestlife foods. With his most recent book, 20 Years Younger: Look Younger, Feel Younger, Be Younger, Bob delves into what seems to be a completely new area—aging. But it's a topic that has long interested Bob and since becoming a father in his 50s, Bob now has a personal stake in staying as youthful and healthy as possible. Not to mention, the definitive, science-based anti—aging program detailed in both the 20 Years Younger book and website involves many of his passions, including nutrition and fitness.

By the Book

Bob released The New York Times best selling motivation book The Life You Want: Get Motivated, Lose Weight, and Be Happy in December 2010. It is the newest title in a string of best sellers authored by Bob, including 2010's The Best Life Guide to Managing Diabetes and Pre-Diabetes, and The Best Life Diet, which was a mainstay on The New York Times best-seller list for 31 weeks, and was named the #1 diet book by Consumer Reports.

Bob is also the author of Make The Connection: Ten Steps to a Better Body and a Better Life, which was co-written with Oprah Winfrey, Get With the Program! Getting Real About Your Weight, Health, and Emotional Well-Being and Total Body Makeover: An Accelerated Program of Exercise and Nutrition for Maximum Results in Minimum Time.

Bob's website TheBestLife.com launched to become the fastest selling online program in the country based on subscription sales. The site offers various tools and resources including meal plans, shopping lists, recipes, videos, articles, news and tips from various health and fitness experts, and an exceptionally active member community.

 

On Store Shelves

Bob developed The Best Life Seal of Approval program so consumers could more easily identify products that measure up to the rigorous Best Life Diet taste and nutrition standards. In response to the popularity of the program, Bob launched his own line of Bestlife foods, beginning with a buttery spray, spreads and baking sticks, which are available at stores nationwide. And he recently added a line of supplements.
