The author's aim in writing this second edition of "The Diet Dilemma" is to give information about problems associated with excess weight, including the concerns of those who try to treat what they don't have, and to advise against useless diets and weight loss products. She also want to let readers know of the sensible approaches that are available and hopes that this book makes it easier to see the futility of weight loss gimmicks and crazy diets. There is no Fairy Godmother to wave a magic wand and melt fat. There is no "cure", but you can learn to see how body fat accumulates and why so many methods of getting rid of it fail. We have a dilemma with body fat. On one hand, women need to be convinced that looking like a rake is neither a healthy nor a sensible aim. On the other hand, populations all over the world are growing steadily fatter and need help to reduce the health problems that accompany excess body fat. This is a book for people who are tired of gimmicks and who want to know what normal weight is and how it can be achieved.
It examines all the popular diets and slimming methods, indicates the good and useful ones, and exposes the frauds, futilities, rip-offs and dangers in many of the others. The book contains practical advice from Australia's leading nutritionist about how to change your eating and exercise habits to lose excess body fat, improve your health, increase your energy and enhance your enjoyment of life.
