About this title

Synopsis

There are thousands of diet books published and yet the statistics tell us that we are all getting fatter. The conclusion can only be that diets do not work or this would not be the case. The 500 Eating Plan is not a diet but more a radical rethink that looks at weight management in the 21st century. It accepts that we eat the foods we do through choice, and so phony contrived diets that require us to eat differently are unsustainable, as perversely, we all return to our foods of choice even though they are the foods that made us overweight in the first place. Just wanting to be slimmer is not enough. You need a Plan not a diet. A Plan that allows you to eat the foods you like and yet still lose weight. Trials have proven that the 500 Eating Plan does just that. This unique self help guide will enable you to understand the simple science of becoming overweight and also how to reverse it. It will empower you to successfully take control of your weight, once and for all. Welcome to the 500 Eating Plan and to a slimmer healthier you.

About the Author

Robert lives and works in the UK. He has spent some 40 years working in food, nutrition and health. With 20 years working in the food industry, he now feels like the poacher turned gamekeeper as he challenges the food industry's ambivalence to the consequences of their profit driven focus regardless of the health outcomes for customers. For the last 20 years he has worked in health, managing clinical and health improvement services in the NHS and delivering evidence-based Public Health programmes and information for the Health Development Agency and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). He is a visiting lecturer at Stafford University Faculty of Health Sciences. Currently he leads on delivering adult weight management services for residents in Telford and Wrekin, Shropshire for the NHS, where over 60% of the adult population are overweight or obese. Robert submitted evidence on obesity to the House of Lords Science and Technology Select Committee for their Behaviour Change Report (July 2011) and also to the NICE Public Health Programme Guidance, Obesity: working with local communities (Nov. 2012). In addition, evaluation evidence for the weight management programmes he currently leads have been published in the Health Services Journal (Sept. 2012).
