( Details ) Dimensions: 264 Pages, 5 x 7.5 in | ISBN: 0716741709 Published: February 2001 | From the Publisher As a society, we are more health conscious than ever before, yet one in four Americans is considered obese. The confusing bombardment of information we receive daily about diet and exercise has done little to answer the perennial question:"What's the best way to lose weight?" Separating fact from fiction, The Skinny on Fat examines health and weight gain from a scientific point of view, describing what recent research tells us about how our bodies work, why we gain weight, and what tools are available to help us achieve our weight goal. Some of the topics it covers include: • The weight control drugs of yesterday, today, and tomorrow • How diet and exercise affect the body and mind • The molecular and genetic basis of weight • Is obesity a disease? • Getting thin the healthy way • The future of weight control Not a miracle program for weight loss, The Skinny on Fat is a revealing look at how the scientific view of obesity has resulted in a new definition of fat one that contains more biology and less guilt. It is essential reading for anyone, regardless of weight, who is interested in living a healthier life. About the Author Shawna Vogel, a former editor at Discover magazine, writes for various popular science and health magazines, including Scientific American, Earth, Discover, and Health. She is the author of Naked Earth: The New Geophysics. Vogel lives in the Boston area.
