Fat isn't the problem. Dieting is the problem. A society that rejects anyone whose body shape or size doesn't match an impossible ideal is the problem.

Eat what you want, when you want, choosing pleasurable foods that help you to feel good. You too can feel great in your body right now - and Health at Every Size will show you how. Health at Every Size has been scientifically proven to boost health and self-esteem. The program was evaluated in a government-funded academic study, its data published in well-respected scientific journals.Updated with the latest scientific research and even more powerful messages, Health at Every Size is not a diet book, and after reading it, you will be convinced the best way to win the war against fat is to give up the fight.

Format:Paperback
This book is everything I was hoping for. It shows clearly how dieting makes people fatter through proper authenticated scientific research. The research is also indexed in the back for anyone wanting to check the facts stated. It has very helpful suggestions on how to lose weight without dieting and also a useful contacts section. It is a fantastic book, and Linda Bacon is a genius to have put this together. Diet no more. This book shows all the reasons why not and why diets don`t work!

This is a great book - it's all based on scientific evidence and the studies that the author took into account are cited, but it doesn't get too technical - there's a section that gets a bit bogged down in chemicals and twin studies, but it's only a small section which you can easily skip and still get loads out of this book. Unlike most diet books, you finish reading and feel that there really are positive things you can do to improve your fitness level and diet. Some authors seem to think that it's a catastrophe if you've gained 10 lb, which can discourage people with much larger amounts they want to lose, but by contrast, this author seems to understand the problems facing people who struggle with fat. It's written in an easy style to read, and is the most positive book about dieting and weight loss that I've read for a long time (and I've read lots!). I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, and intend keep it handy to read again whenever my motivation to exercise flags.

Interesting and worth reading but flawed
This book is a very welcome anecdote to the vicious, nasty attitudes that abound within our culture towards fat people. And it's certainly interesting. Read more
