As a young man growing up in Athens, Greece, Harry Papas had an enviable life. He looked good, felt good, was popular and smart, and saw nothing but continued success and happiness in his future. Then something changed. He gained 110 pounds in one year.

Many people gain weight as they get older, but what happened to Papas, and what happens to millions of people around the world, was more sudden and drastic. When Papas entered college, he became stressed, depressed, lonely, and bored. He turned to food for comfort and the pounds began to pile on. He tried various diets, but once he gained 110 pounds in one year, he decided to create his own weight loss technique. Papas created the Slimmer lifestyle inspired by his research and Mediterranean roots… and it worked!

Papas became a certified dietician and lost all the excess weight- and never gained it back. Slimmer: The New Mediterranean Way to Lose Weight is the bestselling diet book in Greece and is now climbing the charts in the U.S.

Harry Papas resides in Greece and helps others lose weight and find joy every day. He strongly believes LOVE ALWAYS WINS.
