Escape the Diet Trap

About this book

'No need to count calories, go hungry or diet ever again' The Times

This revolutionary book reveals:

  • Ten reasons why eating a low-fat, calorie controlled diet makes sustained weight loss virtually impossible.
  • Why the less hungry you are, the more weight you'll lose.
  • How different types of calories have different fattening potential.
  • Why weight is not just about calories, but the impact our diet has on key hormones including insulin and leptin.
  • Why you should ignore foods labelled 'low fat' or 'light'.
  • Why aerobic exercise has little impact on weight, and the type of exercise that does.
  • The simple and mental tricks to ensure permanent success.
