Book excerpt: The Problem: despite a wealth of nutrition advice, rates of obesity continue to rise. While specific diets vary in approach, the advice is generally underpinned by the calorie principle: weight loss is simply a matter of 'eating less or exercising more'. Yet both science and anecdote frequently reveal that this doesn't work beyond the short term. ESCAPE THE DIET TRAP reveals the myriad of reasons why taking a calorie-based approach to weight loss essentially dooms us to failure. It explains that it's not the dieter that is usually at fault, but the approach. By presenting ways of eating that offer enjoyable, satisfying fat loss, without extensive exercise, calorie-control or hunger, ESCAPE THE DIET TRAP shows how to escape the cycle of restrictive attempts at weight loss and establish a healthy, sustainable relationship with food.
