Description
Every reasoning adult intuitively knows that weight loss is actually a fairly straightforward mathematical proposition: burn more calories than you consume, and voila, the excess weight disappears. Why, then, is there an epidemic of obesity in so many Western countries? The simple answer is twofold: misinformation, and lack of information. Sadly, most people are never given a proper education in regards to what constitutes a healthful lifestyle, and understand little about their bodies. Today's children are indoctrinated with poor health habits by marketers from an early age, with tentacles that extend into schools. Thus, the obesity problems of adulthood now begin in childhood.
The word "serious" in the title is meant to appeal to people who can honestly acknowledge having wasted enough time and money on unhealthful gimmicks and quick-fixes, and are ready to make some serious and permanent lifestyle changes. The book is comprehensive, and covers the topics of nutrition and exercise from a base of understanding.
This book is a complete manual on healthful living, that can be thought of as an "owner's manual" to the human body. If your goal is simply to lose weight, then just read the chapters that pertain to food, reading food labels, and exercise. My honest hunch is that once you pick the book up, you will not want to skip over anything. The material presented is not based on any personal opinions, and is completely "evidence based" on medically sound studies that cover massive populations over extended periods of time.
Like anything else in life, once you truly UNDERSTAND what you are doing, it really does not take that much time or effort. The biggest time investment comes up front, from reading the material presented here, and incorporating it into your daily routine. Maintaining a healthy weight affects every single aspect of your daily life, including mental capacity, energy, sleep, sex life, and overall health. If you value your life, and the quality of it, then kindly give this book your consideration.
