Synopsis

Obesity is now the biggest single threat to the nation's health. Written along the same lines as the other best-selling titles in the series, the Haynes HGV Manual offers down-to-earth advice ot men on how to achieve and then maintain a healthy weight. Dr. Ian Bank's style is as robust and realistic as usual, with his personal experience of shedding 3 stone turned to good account. This is not a diet book. Instead, following the tried and tested Haynes formula, there are detailed explanations of how the relevant parts of the body work, what happens if you're seriously overweight, and plenty of hints and tips on what to do about it. Technical illustrations in the familiar Haynes style are complemented by cartoons from Jim Campbell. Thre is also a light-hearted look at quack remedies and bizarre diets from previous eras.
