Product Description

Product Description

"Dieting Makes You Fat" is the explosive, authoritative answer to the multibillion-dollar dieting industry. The dieting industry is booming. So is obesity, in children, as well as adults. Obesity causes diabetes, heart disease and cancers, as well as misery for those who suffer. The experts are baffled and the dieting industry is no use - because dieting makes you fat. Geoffrey Cannon explains the science and the global politics that are making the world fat. Including seven golden rules for achieving life-long good health and wellbeing - as well as to shed body fat - "Dieting Makes You Fat" is also a handbook for anyone committed to good quality, delicious food and drink, fairly traded and socially, economically and environmentally sustainable. If you want to lose body fat, if you or anyone you know is or has been on a diet, if you care about the obesity crisis, then this is the book for you.


From the Inside Flap

Have you ever been on a diet? Then you are likely to know that as a rule, after a while all the weight you have reduced goes back on again. This book tells you why.

Are there people in your life who want to be slim? Then you will want to give them the best advice on their weight and their health. This book tells you how.

Are you concerned about the massive rise of obesity including in children? Then you will be wondering why, and what to do. This book gives you the answers.

The message of this book is in its title. Dieting makes you fat. Dieting, supposed to be the solution to overweight and obesity, is in fact part of the problem.

If you want to get rid of body fat, get in good shape and improve your health for ever, about the worst thing you can do is restrict energy from food and drink.

Geoffrey Cannon is co-author of the first version of this book, which was an international bestseller. This version has been totally rewritten for the 21st century, including Your Seven Golden Rules to improve your health, to enhance your wellbeing, and to reduce your body
weight and fat.

This explosive and liberating book is for you as a citizen as well as a consumer, part of a society that respects the makers of food and the living and natural world.

Dieting Makes You Fat will revolutionise thinking and action on overweight, obesity, diet, health and wellbeing. Now you are part of that change. Read on

3.0 out of 5 stars A Diet by another name, 5 Jan 2009
By Zappakins (London) - See all my reviews
Ok, so I was fooled... I thought this book would answer my 'fat' prayers... it didn't. It was very informative and did show how the diet industry manipulates facts to sell their products. However as we all (really) know at heart... the only way to lose and maintain weightloss is to eat less biscuits, cakes, chocolate and fast food AND increase the amount of fruit, vegetables and wholegrains eaten. But more importantly get plenty of excercise!
Anyway, I read the first part of the book and was really looking forward to the 'golden rules' that would change my life... Well to say I felt conned would sound extreme BUT I was annoyed as the 'golden rules' are basically the basis of 80% of the diets Cannon deems make you fat e.g drink 2 litres of water, eat mainly vegetables and fruits, eat only wholegrain carbs and take time to eat. He also recommends fasting... and the key to his whole programme is EXCERCISE!
So if you want to lose weight don't buy this book, wait until you are really ready to change your life and excercise habits. There is no quick fix to weight loss and I'll admit I was a fool to think this book would change my life.

4.0 out of 5 stars dieting makes you fat, 31 Jan 2009
I first read this book in the early 80s and then found it an excellent aid to losing weight and getting fit. I adapted Geoffrey Cannon's ideas to suit my circumstances. When I started I was a very fat & unfit student and then a trainee. But I had plenty of time to take loads of exercise. I started gradually with 10 minute walks. Within a few months I was regularly walking 30+ miles and I enjoyed running as well. I ate healthily and largely kept off sweets, chocolate and fatty foods. I lost about 5st.I kept it off for 5yrs. Then I qualified and got company car and gave up walking.
In short its great so long as you keep exercising.
