THE TRUE YOU DIET
2012
Fourth Estate
At last, a weight-loss book for the enlightened! By debunking the traditional, the conventional and the downright unproven, Escape the Diet Trap steers would-be dieters away from short-term regimes towards long-term success.

The Problem
Rates of obesity continue to rise, despite a wealth of nutrition advice. While specific diets vary in approach, the advice is generally underpinned by the calorie principle: weight loss is simply a matter of eating less or exercising more. Yet both science and anecdote frequently reveal that this doesn’t work beyond the short term.

The Solution
Escape the Diet Trap reveals why taking a calorie-based approach to weight loss essentially dooms us to failure. The dieter is not at fault, the approach is. Presenting ways of eating that offer enjoyable, satisfying fat loss, without extensive exercise, calorie-control or hunger, Escape the Diet Trap shows how to escape the cycle of restrictive attempts at weight loss and establish a healthy, sustainable relationship to food.

Are you carrying extra weight, especially around the midriff, that you'd like to get rid of? Are you confused by conflicting and contradictory weight-loss information, and just want something that really works? In this book, Dr John Briffa draws on hundreds of scientific studies to debunk popular myths about diet and exercise, and reveals the most effective way to lose fat and build an athletic physique. Learn which foods cause fatness - irrespective of calories - and which foods don't, how to harness the power of your mind to accelerate your progress, and how to get fit and toned with just 12 minutes of exercise a day.
