About this title

Synopsis

A comprehensive yet easy-to-understand review of all five of the major factors that cause overweight and obesity: biological, psychological, life-style, diet, and activity level. Explains why diets and exercise fail over 95% of the time and how the overweight are manipulated by false promises and hype. Shows how medical research has already uncovered an astonishing 200 genetic links to obesity and why the public and even most doctors have major misconceptions about the disorder. Takes an empathic view of the ongoing suffering of the overweight and obese in America showing how strong psychological issues and addictive behaviors develop. Highly illustrated and fully indexed with massive resources (and full references) including all university-based treatment programs, surgery options, reviews all medications used in obesity treatment, and nutritional information on over 1,500 fast foods.
