Healthy and Lean: The Science of Metabolism and the Psychology of Weight Management

Despite the fact that we are a diet-crazed society, the obesity epidemic has reached an all time high in 2016. Obviously, our so-called “War on Obesity" isn’t working. Dr. Heidi Wohlrabe and Ileana Riveron blow the whistle on the 60 billion dollar weight loss industry and expose dieting as the gateway drug that leads to anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating, obesity and every other form of disordered eating. Using wit and humor to make complex topics easy to digest, they deliver: scientific evidence to dispel myths about exercise and dieting, secrets to gaining a faster metabolism, pathways to recovery from obesity, eating disorders and body dissatisfaction, and psychological tools necessary for sustained success. Healthy and Lean: The Science of Metabolism and the Psychology of Weight Management empowers readers with a research-based understanding of nutritional science so that they can escape fad diets and become happy, healthy and lean for life.
