There are countless diet and weight-loss books cluttering the shelves, most inadequate, some even scientifically or medically unsound. The Take Control Diet unlocks the science that explains how your body manages energy and stabilizes at your ideal weight.
Dr. Smith explains, in plainspoken prose, the physiology and biochemistry of weight gain and loss. He outlines:
-- causes of overweight
-- health concerns in dieting
-- how metabolism and genetics factor into weight control
-- what you can do to work with, rather than against, your body's processes
-- critiques popular dieting programs, medications, supplements, and home tests
Also included are:
-- exercise programs for various fitness levels
-- healthful recipes
-- sample menus
-- a complete thirty-day program
Free of hyperbolic promises, poor science, and farfetched gimmicks that characterize so many books of this genre, The Take Control Diet provides the key to fast results and lasting success.
