This is an unusual - and unusually interesting - exploration of diet, weight and health that touches on memoir but lands on practicality. It-s a cut-to-the-chase book that makes you realize that not everything you know about dieting and weight loss - no matter how much you''ve read or experienced before - is true, and that way too much of your brain, your time and your pocketbook has been taken up with the endless (and futile) quest. The authors- two distinct voices thread and play off each other throughout the book as they cover these intensively-researched topics:
-Metabolism
-Why Every Diet Works... and Then Doesn-t
-What Actually is -Healthy- Food?
-The (Almost) Magic Pill: Exercise
-Detox Teas, Juice Cleanses, Supplements, & Waist Trainers
-The Science of Fat Loss
-Sleep, Stress and Your Waistline
-Disordered Eating or Eating Disorder?
-The History of Dieting
-The Biggest Key to Success - A Manifesto on Body Image
-How to Make This Your Last Die
