Description
Book SynopsisDieting is dead. Let's focus on health instead. Short-term, restrictive diets just don't work as long-term weight loss solutions. As soon as your diet proves unsustainable within your everyday life, you regain the weight you've lost while dieting, negatively impacting your biological and psychological systems as well. Sound familiar? In Fighting Fat: Break the Dieting Cycle and Get Healthy for Life!, wellness expert and best-selling author Dr. Steven Lamm reveals why it's more important to gain health than to simply lose pounds. With Dr. Lamm's individualized approach to weight reduction that's based on your unique lifestyle, biology, and risk factors, you can start to improve your overall well-being while greatly reducing your risk of countless health complications. Groundbreaking advancements in the rapidly evolving science behind weight loss have generated many new options for people who struggle to manage their weight. From understanding the affects of prescription and over-the-counter medications to making decisions about bariatric surgery, Fighting Fat delivers Dr. Lamm's authoritative insights and analysis of the most current and comprehensive information available.
Trade ReviewUnlike some diet and fitness authors, Lamm doesn't claim that his remedy is all that someone would need for long-term weight loss. Instead, he focuses on health in a way that's designed to give readers insight into potential causes of their weight issues--genetics, prescriptions, habits--and shifts them toward a more educated track. With worksheets for notes, information on surgery, and numerous references for further research, Fighting Fat arms a reader with an arsenal of helpful tips and insights. --Foreword Reviews
