The Straight Scoop About Dieting: Learn the truths about weight-loss diets so you can stop feeling guilty and start losing weight

Don t give another nickel to the $60 billion weight-loss industry until you have read this book

For decades the weight-loss industry has bombarded us with a torrent of confusing and contradictory information about the cause and treatment of overweight. That way, when their diets fail, they can claim it's all our fault.

And fail they do. Scientific studies repeatedly show that more 95% of dieters gain back any lost weight often overshooting where they started.

After more than 30 years of research, Sharon Greene Patton knows why dieting actually inflicts physiological changes that make people fat. That was true when this book was originally published in 1983 as Stop Dieting - Start Living! and is still true with the release of this updated edition.

In fact, The Straight Scoop About Dieting makes a convincing argument that the increase in dieting over the last 25 years (one indicator $11 billion spent then, $60 billion spent now) is the principle cause of the current obesity epidemic.

Patton's findings will clear up the confusion delivered by the weight-loss industry, eliminate the guilt and shame of past dieting failures, and open your mind to a non-dieting approach to weight loss that actually works.
