Tum or Bum? Apple or Pear? According to women's health expert Dr Marie Savard, body shape is the closest thing we have to a medical crystal ball. More important than our weight itself, this one simple piece of information can help determine our propensity to develop certain diseases as well as guide us towards the best way of tackling weight loss. Apples and Pears will help women assess their own body shape, alert them to the potential health risks associated with each one such as heart disease, osteoporosis and breast cancer and offer them vital dietary advice on how to manage their shape and stave off weight gain. Detailed dietary plans provide simple, long-term weight loss solutions based on medical assessments of the characteristics of apple and pear-shaped women. Whether your hips are that inch too wide or your stomach sticks out that bit too far will determine far more than which swimsuit design is most flattering for your body. Apples and Pears is a highly accessible, practical guide to finding out why.
