Summary: "Hundreds of dieting books line the shelves of our bookstores, promising fast and easy weight loss with a simple list of do's and don'ts. But let's face it: diets don't work. Despite the fact that we are a diet-crazed society, the obesity epidemic has reached an all time high in 2016. 38 percent of adults meet the criteria for obesity, another 30 percent are overweight, and one in four adolescents is either diabetic or pre-diabetic. Obviously, our so-called War on Obesity isn't working. Dr. Heidi Wohlrabe and Ileana Riveron blow the whistle on the $60 billion weight loss industry and expose dieting as the gateway drug that leads to anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating, obesity and every other form of disordered eating. Using wit and humor to make complex topics easy to digest, they deliver: scientific evidence to dispel myths about exercise and dieting; secrets to gaining a faster metabolism; ideas and templates for enjoying balanced and diverse meals; pathways to recovery from obesity, eating disorders, and body dissatisfaction; and psychological tools necessary for sustained success. Healthy & Lean: the Science of Metabolism and the Psychology of Weight Management empowers readers with a research-based understanding of nutritional science so that they can escape fad diets and become happy, healthy and lean for life."-- Back cover.
