Description
Worried about your waistline? Fearful you don't measure up-or down-to the super thin standards that are merely arbitrary demands of the fashion world and the diet industry?Forget it!
New medical research by the distinguished expert Dr. Dale Atrens exposes the myths of diets and fatness that have made your life miserable. The real facts as they emerge from the laboratory prove that being overweight does not by itself make you unhealthy or unattractive. Neither does fatness cause heart disease, or cancer, or early death.
What Dr. Atrens's research does show, however, is that millions of men and women have suffered unnecessarily from severe stress and anxiety caused by advertising and promotion schemes that are unrealistic and, at times, scandalous. In reality, the stress forced on us to have a body beautiful often results in serious illness such as anorexia and bulimia, and these fad campaigns have caused thousands of unnecessary deaths.
- There is no single diet that is truly effective (if there were one, there wouldn't be so many on the market);
- For 95 percent of the population it is impossible to lose significant amounts of weight and maintain the loss;
- The body's own metabolic rate, plus other hereditary and physiological reasons, are the determining factors in body size and shape.
