Book Synopsis

"Obesity kills 300,000 people per year" IS A BIG FAT LIE!

Glenn Gaesser, an exercise physiologist, challenges the conventional wisdom that being "overweight" is dangerous. This is a meticulously-researched, clearly-written book and is crucial reading for anyone who wants to take concrete steps towards improving their health—no matter what their size.

Here are well-document facts that:

  • People can be fit and fat.
  • Thinner is not necessarily healthier.
  • Some body fat protects you from heart disease.
  • Dieting can cause weight gain.

"Finally, truth and justice for the fat person. People...cannot all fit some insurance chart. This book should be required reading before going on a diet." —Charles Van Dyke, Chairman of the Board,
