Gabriel's website does not say much, however; in the things to discover section he mentions many concepts that sound like CHEK Institute philosophies on eating:
1. Eating too much is not the problem, it's the quality of food that's the problem. (Raw, organic foods > than processed, pasteurized preserved foods etc.)
2. Your body puts on fat from stress in your environment (Work stress, spiritual stress, physical stress from putting the wrong foods in your gut and having your body process unhealthy food) The body reacts to stress by putting on fat. In Eastern philosophy if stress = fire and fat = water, your body uses fat to put the stress out, much like fire is put out with water.
3. Starving yourself and exercising too much help keep fat on your body because these things stress the body resulting in the body producing fat to protect itself.
I haven't bought his book although, I would be willing to bet money that these are the types of concepts he is using.
