We want to be slim more than anything in the world,
so why do we have an obesity epidemic?

If the solution is as simple as 'eat less and do more',
why are 90% of today's children facing a fat future?

What if the current diet advice is not right?
What if trying to eat less is making us fatter?
What if everything we thought we knew about dieting is wrong?

This is, in fact, the case.

This book will de-bunk every diet myth there is and
change the course of The Obesity Epidemic.
This is going to be a ground breaking journey, shattering every
preconception about dieting and turning current advice upside down.

Did you know that we did a U-turn in our diet advice thirty years ago?
Obesity has increased tenfold since - coincidence or cause?

Discover why we changed our advice and what is stopping us changing it back;
discover the involvement of the food industry in our weight loss advice;
discover how long we have known that eating less and doing more can never work
and discover what will work instead.

There is a way to lose weight and keep it off, but the first thing you must do is to
throw away everything you think you know about dieting. Because everything you
think you know is actually wrong. The diet advice we are being givem, far from being
the cure of the obesity epidemic, is, in fact, the cause.
