Why Diet And Exercise Fail Second Edition

We are surrounded by people who are selling weight loss techniques that do not work. Every year Americans spend tens of billions of dollars on diet books, diet products, and gym memberships. In spite of this, every year more of us become overweight. We need the knowledge that can help us to be better judges of weight loss claims. Why Diet and Exercise Fail shows how conventional wisdom on weight loss is incomplete. It debunks the theories behind popular weight loss techniques, including high fat diets, low carbohydrate diets, low sugar diets, and low calorie diets. The book presents the case that nutrition can explain the effectiveness of seemingly contradictory weight loss ideas.
