OVERVIEW AND INSTRUCTIONS
Welcome to the pre-approved, accredited CPE self-study program for Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity, and Disease. The program consists of a book of the same title by Robert H. Lustig, M.D. and this study guide. The CPE program is designed to help you understand the relationship between sugar, processed foods, obesity and metabolic disease, and the proposed ideas to help combat and reduce metabolic disease. It is also designed to help you earn 28 Level 2, Continuing Professional Education Units (CPEUs).
To get the most out of this CPE program, it is suggested that you adhere to the following four steps:
- Review the objectives in this study guide.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR OF THE BOOK
Robert H. Lustig, M.D., a pediatric endocrinologist at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital, is nationally recognized in the field of neuroendocrinology, with an emphasis on the regulation of energy balance by the central nervous system. He is interested in how biochemical, neural, hormonal and genetic influences contribute to obesity in children and adults. He defined a syndrome of vagally mediated beta-cell hyperactivity that leads to excessive production of insulin and obesity, which may occur in up to 20 percent of the obese population and is treatable with insulin suppression. He also is studying the association between hyperinsulinemia, or the presence of excess insulin in the blood, and cardiovascular disease and is developing methods to evaluate and prevent this in children.
Lustig earned a bachelor's degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and a medical degree from Cornell University Medical College. He completed a pediatric residency at St. Louis Children's Hospital and a clinical fellowship in pediatric endocrinology at UCSF. From there, he spent six years as a postdoctoral fellow in neuroendocrinology at Rockefeller University in New York. Lustig is the director of the Weight Assessment for Teen and Child Health (WATCH) Program at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital; a member of the UCSF Center for Obesity Assessment, Study, and Treatment; as well as a member of the Obesity Task Force of the Endocrine Society. Lustig is a professor of clinical pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology at UCSF.
