Book SynopsisIn this revised and updated edition, renowned cardiologist William Davis explains how eliminating wheat from our diets can prevent fat storage, shrink unsightly bulges and reverse myriad health problems.Every day we eat food products made of wheat. As a result millions of people experience some form of adverse health effect, ranging from minor rashes and high blood sugar to the unattractive stomach bulges that preventative cardiologist William Davis calls wheat bellies'. According to Davis, that fat has nothing to do with gluttony, sloth or too much butter: it's down to the whole grain food products so many people eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner.After witnessing over 2,000 patients regain their health after giving up wheat, Davis reached the disturbing conclusion that wheat is the single largest contributor to the nationwide obesity epidemic and its elimination is key to dramatic weight loss and optimal health.In Wheat Belly Davis exposes the harmful effects of what is actually a Trade Review‘Fascinating, compelling, and more than a little entertaining, Wheat Belly may be the most important health book of the year.’Dana Carpender, author of 500 Low-Carb Recipes ‘Comprehensive, readable and witty… Take [Dr Davis’] advice to lose wheat from your diet and you’ll likely be paid back many times over in the form of a slimmer, healthier body and a better functioning brain.’Dr. John Briffa BSc MB BS nutritional physician and author of Waist Disposal

Harvard University Press Childhood Obesity in America
Book SynopsisObesity among American children has reached epidemic proportions. Laura Dawes traces changes in diagnosis, treatment, and popular conceptions of the most serious health problem facing American children today, and makes the case that understanding the cultural history of a disease is critical to developing effective public health policy.Trade ReviewThe goal of this book is not to offer answers, but to explain how we as a society ended up where we are. There were critical moments in the history of childhood obesity where leaders, whether medical, educational, political or otherwise, could have taken one path or another. Dawes traces the history that led to each crossroad and the implications of the path that our leaders have chosen at each of these crossroads. Given the epidemic levels of obesity in the U.S., the topic has become popular in the media, leading to enormous numbers of articles, books, TV reports, and so on. Many of these accounts come from individuals with a vested interest in swaying readers’ beliefs about the causes of the issue and how to best resolve it. This book offers something different. It places many of the issues that we face as a country into a historical context to help readers understand the current state of childhood obesity. Dawes has done her job very well. The ball is now in our court. -- Lisa Auster-Gussman * Books & Culture *Through anecdotes and an overview of social trends, [Dawes] provides the historical context for our fixation [on childhood obesity], revealing shifting cultural perceptions, medical pre-occupations, scientific advances and economic forces linked to the phenomenon. By clarifying where we have been, Dawes aims to guide us forward… Perhaps health professionals’ efforts to contain, control, prevent and reverse childhood obesity have been constrained by a failure to see and consider the full scope of the threat and the best defenses—that is, by the focus on one idea at a time. Dawes replaces such parochial perspectives with a window 100 years wide. May it help show us the way. -- David Katz * Nature *Dawes, a historian of medicine, dutifully catalogues society’s stumbling attempts to understand and deal with this subject over the past century. She reviews many failed attempts to keep childhood obesity in check, from the ‘endocrine vogue of the 1920s to the 1940s’ to diet drugs, bariatric surgery, and the leptin gene craze. Advertising geared toward making bad foods attractive to kids has been rampant and governments have done a poor job controlling it… Dawes ably demonstrates that any solutions will likely be as multifaceted as the problem. * Publishers Weekly *With vivid prose, memorable examples, and an impressive depth of research, Laura Dawes demonstrates how and why our current preoccupation with childhood obesity emerged. This book is a genuine contribution not only to historical understanding, but to the field of medical ethics and to contemporary policy debates. -- Steven Mintz, University of Texas at AustinChildhood Obesity in America is timely and compelling. This thoughtful book reveals a great deal about the place of the child in American history, the intensity of the search for the normal body, and the overwhelming importance of aesthetic criteria in understanding the best size of the child. -- Susan Lederer, University of Wisconsin–Madison

Book SynopsisXXL challenges governments to abandon top-down planning solutions in favour of bottom-up innovations to confront the obesity crisis.Trade Review'This slim book is fat with data and ideas, and stands on the imaginative frontier of a very fast-moving public policy debate ... It's bound to cause controversy and thought as we face the public health challenge of trying to engineer weight control.' -- Michael Bliss, University Professor Emeritus, University of Toronto, and author of The Making of Modern Medicine and The Discovery of Insulin 'Promising, thought-provoking and smart.' -- David Frum, best-selling author and adviser to former President George W. Bush 'XXL critically examines the money and policies we're throwing at the obesity epidemic and proposes a new, thoughtful and sensitive approach-healthy living vouchers-that offers meaningful incentives to those who ever have, or ever will, struggle with the emotional and physical battle of weight gain.' -- Bertha K Madras, Professor of Psychobiology, Harvard Medical School 'XXL offers both an authoritative yet readily accessible review of the relevant science and, even more important, an imaginative proposal for government action.' -- Frederick Lowy, OC, MD, CM, LLD, President and Vice-Chancellor Emeritus, Concordia University, former Dean, Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto 'This book takes a fresh, bold, and deep look at an important human error stemming from the illusions of control and the overestimation of knowledge of the human body and behavior. It shows the mistakes committed when governments, in a top-down and naive manner, try to control our biology.' -- Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Distinguished Professor, New York University Polytechnic Institute and author of New York Times best-sellers The Black Swan and Fooled by Randomness 'This book provides the one thing that's sorely lacking amidst the cacophony of claims about what will fix the obesity crisis: A recognition that this is a massively multi-factorial problem utterly resistant to universal, simple solutions, and that individuals require customized strategies for losing and keeping off weight. The idea that public policy can and must support individualized weight-loss plans is as close to a winner as we're likely to see.' -- David H. Freedman, best-selling author of Wrong: Why Experts Keep Failing Us - And How to Know When Not to Trust Them, and contributing editor of Inc. Magazine 'Messrs. Seeman and Luciani's suggestions will annoy both the left and the right. Market forces are anathema to the top-down thinking of many on the left, and handing money to the "undeserving" is anathema to many on the right. But the very fact that their idea defies conventional wisdom suggests that it is a good one.' -- Matt Ridley, international bestselling author of The Rational Optimist and Genome The Wall Street Journal 'The authors have provided us with a clear summary of our current obesity challenges alongside the range of possible avenues to take on this "wicked problem," all smartly compiled in this readable book.' -- Terrence Sullivan CMAJ February 2013 (This title received Outstanding rating by members of the 2012 University Press Books committee... They are essential additions to most library collections) 'Entertaining and insightful are not two words you would normally associate with a book about obesity, but this book certainly has both traits...

Taylor & Francis Ltd FamilyBased Treatment for Eating Disorders Piece
Book SynopsisThe book illustrates how parents who are participating in family-based treatment (FBT) for their child's eating disorder (ED) may enhance their chances of achieving optimal outcomes for their child by more successfully navigating the challenges that often impede progress in treatment and recovery.The stance of the book is transdiagnostic, so that the information provided spans all ED diagnoses including anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), binge eating disorder (BED), avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), and atypical ED presentations as well as conditions that fall outside current diagnostic criteria. This book aims to help parents identify how they can make the most out of FBT therapy no matter which ED symptoms their child experiences. Case vignettes across the diagnostic and clinical spectrum are used liberally throughout the book, not only to illustrate examples of some of the specific challenges families face, but to help parents normalize the emotions they may feel around their experience of trying to help their child and around their experience of participating in the FBT intervention itself. A respectful and supportive tone makes this resource accessible and jargon-free for parents, and provides useful information and approaches for psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and allied health practitioners who deliver FBT to young people and families.Trade Review"This is the book I've been waiting for—the definitive guide to implementing family-based treatment (FBT) at home, by the top experts in the field! Whether your child has anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder, this book will be your lifeline. Making Family-Based Treatment For Eating Disorders Piece by Piece picks up where weekly therapy sessions end and real life begins, with genuine validation, practical advice, realistic case examples, and beautiful hand-drawn illustrations. I will be recommending it to all of my FBT families."Jennifer J. Thomas, PhD, co-director, Eating Disorders Clinical and Research Program, Massachusetts General Hospital; associate professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School; immediate past president, Academiy for Eating Disorders"Every parent undergoing FBT will want to read this book. It covers the most challenging scenarios illustrated by real examples from families including how to separate the illness from your child, how to stay aligned with your refeeding partner, and how to handle big emotions such as self-harm and suicidal thoughts. Examples are provided for all types of eating disorders. This comprehensive resource is a valuable follow up to 'Help Your Teenager Beat an Eating Disorder', and provides more in-depth solutions to some of the most common pitfalls encountered during FBT. Clinicians who provide FBT will also find this book extremely helpful." Jennifer Couturier, MD, MSc, FRCPC, medical co-director Eating Disorders Program, McMaster Children's Hospital; associate professor, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada "Family-Based Treatment (FBT) is the best available, quickest acting intervention for eating disorders in adolescents. Whilst FBT may not work for everyone, an effective 'dose' of FBT as soon as possible after diagnosis confers the best prognosis. This book, based on over 20 years of clinical research experience of delivering and studying FBT, addresses the doubts, anxieties and challenges parents commonly experience when implementing FBT. Written by experts, full of empathy and understanding, and underpinned by science, this book is a 'call to arms' for parents and clinicians about why trying and persisting with FBT is the best first line strategy in combatting these potentially devastating disorders. Real world examples, in the form of brief vignettes, illustrate each of the topics across the full range of eating disorder diagnoses: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and avoidant restrictive food intake disorder. I recommend this book as essential reading for all parents of adolescents newly diagnosed with an eating disorder."

Taylor & Francis Ltd Living with Bariatric Surgery
Book SynopsisHighly Commended at the 2019 BMA Medical Book AwardsLiving with Bariatric Surgery: Managing Your Mind and Your Weight aims to help those who are considering bariatric surgery develop a psychological understanding of their eating behaviour and the changes needed in order to make surgery successful. It is also a resource for those who have undergone surgery to help them adapt to the physical, psychological and relationship adjustments that occur. Whilst the benefits of bariatric surgery are significant, the psychological challenges it presents for patients have been overlooked. This book will help patients develop a realistic view of bariatric surgery and the changes required. It incorporates the real-life experiences of people who have had bariatric surgery, showing how they have responded to the psychological and behavioural changes after surgery, and also features helpful psychoeducation, exercises and strategies to facilitate reflection Trade Review"If you want to understand the potential challenges of bariatric surgery and how best to manage them, this is the book for you. Dr Ratcliffe clearly has a wealth of experience working with people who have had weight loss surgery. In this book you will not only find many interesting facts about surgery but also numerous practical ways to prepare and remain on track for years to come. I will be recommending this to all my patients and students coming to work with me."Dr Jackie Doyle, Clinical Psychologist, Centre for Weight Management, Metabolic and Endocrine Surgery, University College London Hospitals NHS Trust."Denise Ratcliffe has worked in the field of bariatric psychological support for the past 10 years, and her book, Living with Bariatric Surgery, has been made possible by the privilege of having listened to thousands of people recount their stories of life before and after bariatric surgery. These stories echo through the pages of the book, and are interspersed with practical advice, adding richness to the material and making it not only a useful resource, but also, at times, a moving read."The Lancet, March 2019Table of ContentsTable of contentsIntroductionPart 1: Getting ready for bariatric surgeryChapter 1 Developing a balanced and realistic view of bariatric surgery.Chapter 2 Creating new habits and making changes in preparation for bariatric surgery.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Weight Management
Book SynopsisWeight Management A Practitioner's Guide Dympna Pearson and Clare Grace Amid an alarming rise in the prevalence of obesity, there has been a similar rapid expansion in the theory and evidence base surrounding its management but limited detail on the practical application of lifestyle treatments. This exciting new book provides practitioners and those studying to become healthcare professionals with a much-needed modern guide which clearly presents the latest evidence underpinning obesity interventions and how to deliver these in practice. Written by renowned experts Dympna Pearson and Clare Grace, the book is intended as a ready reference for those working in both acute and community settings throughout the different and demanding stages of the weight management process. It explains how effective evidence-based programmes, structured to address the key components of diet and physical activity and integrated with a behavioural approach, can achieve improved outTrade Review“I volunteered to review the text on publication and hope you find it as helpful as I do.” (The Newsletter of the Irish Nutrition & Dietetic Institute, 1 August 2013) “This will be useful for practitioners who are not as experienced in working with the overweight and obese population. However, even practitioners with experience can benefit from the chapters on behavioral approaches that can be used when engaging in one-on-one counseling sessions.” (Doody’s, 17 May 2013) Weight Management: A Practitioner’s guide Dympna Pearson & Clare Grace £37.99; Wiley-Blackwell 2012 ISBN: 978-1-4051-9771-7 (also available as an e-book) This important book bridges the gap between behaviour change theory and the treatments that research has been shown to be effective. It aims to demonstrate how behavioural approaches can be embedded within practice to encourage patient empowerment and active decision-making. It’s major strengths are the breadth and depth of material presented, the engaging conversational style of writing and the huge number of resources and tools included. Written by two well known and respected practitioners in the field of weight management, it benefits from their academic, clinical and training expertise. It is different from other books in this area because of the experience of the authors - this gives the book a practical element often missing from more theoretical publications. Progression throughout the book is logical. Section 1 starts with setting the scene (obesity prevalence, causes & consequences). Healthcare professionals’ attitudes towards obesity and the potential effects of these upon patients are explored and the evidence for treatment options presented. Section 2 is devoted to practical application of the evidence, and how behavioural theory can be embedded in practice. It moves sequentially through prevention, assessment, finding and implementing solutions & maintaining change. Additional sections include the use of brief contacts, evaluation of individual weight management interventions and common challenges and misconceptions. The role of the healthcare professional is clarified at every stage of the consultation, and although the authors recognise the many difficulties that exist in weight management, they suggest how to incorporate best practice within realistic constraints. Structure and clarity are emphasised throughout. For anyone with an interest in weight management this is a great read. Written in an engaging style, it breaks complex ideas and theories into more accessible ‘chunks’, and concrete examples of using behavioural approaches are given throughout to illustrate how theory can be embedded into practice. For those involved in weight management it is a must. Behaviour change is recognised as central to effective weight management and the practical applications of theory throughout are invaluable. However the authors are careful to emphasise that training is needed – reading this book will not equate to effectively facilitating behaviour change in others. Anyone who has already undertaken behaviour change training will find in this book a useful tool to help embed the training, and for those thinking of doing the training it puts the current thinking and evidence into context. For the public health practitioner or those commissioning weight management services, this book helps to clarify and pull together evidence on what treatments and approaches have been shown to be effective, and to increase understanding of what should be included in commissioned services. The useful and comprehensive chapter on evaluation of individual weight management services gives examples of evaluation at different stages of interventions and what can be measured for each, emphasising the importance of considering evaluation from the beginning of the planning process. In addition the emphasis throughout on evidence-based practice clarifies treatments shown to be effective. All in all this is a great addition to the published work on weight management, written by practitioners uniquely equipped to do so. It is good value for money and thoroughly recommended. Statement on conflict of interest: Hilda Mulrooney has served as a Committee member of domUK with both Clare Grace and Dympna Pearson, and has worked with Dympna Pearson in LNDS in the past. In addition she facilitates regularly on Behaviour Training courses run by Dympna Pearson.Table of ContentsForeword xv Acknowledgements xvi Introduction xvii Section 1 Background Information 1 1 Why Treat Obesity?
