About Us

Derech Hakosher Lachaim Ltd. is a weight loss program, combining a healthy and specific personal diet with guided physical activity. Our program was professionally developed and implemented over many years on thousands of people by Yair Karni. It is designed to improve weight loss and maintain the fitness and health of our members, by combining the appropriate nutrition and diet with the proper physical activity, for years to come. We are not another country club or fitness center.
With a success rate of 65% over 15 years, our program is different from repeating diets, and has showed a meaningful contribution to the decrease in health problems such as high blood pressure, heart and veins problems and diabetes.

Yair Karni

Born in 1951 in Kibbutz Haogen, Yair is a competitive athlete, 23 times Marathon and middle distances runs champion of Israel and world champion in 1,500m for ages 45-50.

With a B.Sc. in Nutrition from Oregon State University and M. Med. Sc. from Ben-Gurion University School of Medicine, Yair has developed nutrition programs for Israeli Olympic medalists such as Yael Arad, Oren Smadja and Gal Fridman.

15 years ago Yair has initiated his special program for health, fitness and weight loss for the general population, based on appropriate diet and guided physical activity. Results of his program showed, among other things, a reduction in the use of high blood pressure and diabetes type 2 medications, sometimes to the degree of redundancy.

Yair also wrote a book “Derech Hakosher for Life” that was published by Kineret Publishing House and his lectures take him to schools, companies and institutions throughout the country.

My Vision

I truly believe that in future nutrition, combined with physical activity, will replace medications in the treatment of diseases associated with over weight, such as hypertension, diabetes and heart problems.

I believe that with the proper education it is possible to stop the over weight epidemic in both adults and adolescents. In my view it is possible to develop full awareness to the issue and implement the combination of proper nutrition and physical activity, not only as a replacement of medications, but also as a prevention measure against future over weight.
