A popular author of many best-selling nutrition books has been claiming that obesity is not only related to heart or other problems in its patients, but is responsible for their mental health as well, a recent report has uncovered.

However, a lot many people with the disease do prefer to follow the diets mentioned in his words in his books. But, the revelations this time may probably become a reason for many to get shocked and resist his suggestions.

No doubt, the doctor is asserting the bizarre fact that obese people are mentally ill. It should be taken in a positive aspect rather than adversely, since he has provided evidence for the statement of his own.

He has told that the Dukan diet is though helping them; patients are often reportedly found mentally upset and ill. Also, they not only need a proper diet, but loving someone and to be loved. Love is a thing that helps them reduce their diet automatically, he suggests, while keeping them mentally stable.

"I suffer for them ... I like them because they are not really ill, like with the cancer, but feel they are outside of society.... I want to help", Dr. Pierre Dukan, the millionaire was quoted as saying.
