The Obesity Myth : Why America's Obsession with Weight is Hazardous to Your Health
reviewed on + 4 more book reviews


Well worth reading. For a long time I fit the typical "dieter" profile....try any new program coming down the pike. Very informative as to how we all became so obsessed about weight. One very successful women is profiled and sadly, none of her accomplishments eclipsed her losing weight and writing a book about it (not this one, she has her own diet book, which I have read) The weight loss science is seriously flawed, but so ingrained in the physician's sphere that they dispense it unabashedly to their patients! READ IT , YOU WILL BE GLAD YOU DID !
