great book
I bought this book too used for about 3 dollars. hard cover. anyway I really enjoyed it. if you read it you will be turned off to dieting.
She states alot of points that we all need to consider.
example" weight loss companies are quick to attribute failures to a lack of willpower. how can you be successful if you drop out? but more and more evidence suggests they may be blaming the victim. Physically, semi-starvation diets seem to increase the urge to overeat. the body isn't getting the energy it needs and clamore for more food. The situation has very little to do with willpower."
she also talks about how a panel of experts were brought together for a summit on why obesity was on the rise despite the dieting efforts of people. these were researchers doctors people who who expert in the fields of nutrition, exercise metabolism etc.
after all the discussion of the success and failure rates of different diets and exercise regimens, the conclusion of the whole thing was that diets don't work.
the summit was brought together by the national institutes of health.
