Weight Watchers has helped millions of people worldwide lose weight. Now, Weight Watchers joins forces with leading cardiologist and health and fitness expert Dr. James Rippe to debunk ten common dieting myths, so that readers can avoid the false turns and agony that stand between them and their goals. Using the latest scientific research and the experiences of successful “losers,” myths like “you can exercise the weight off” and “you can impact your metabolism by certain foods and eating patterns” are discussed head on. The kernels of truth that are part of every myth are revealed along with the straight talk about what simply isn’t true. In the face of defeatist beliefs such as “weight loss that lasts isn’t possible” and “I don’t have the willpower it takes,” the book demonstrates that sustainable weight loss is possible by following the path science offers over myths. This myth-busting guide delivers just what’s needed to get off the dieting roller coaster – combining state-of-the-art science, commonsense advice, inspirational stories, and action plans. Now, we can finally focus on keeping it off for the long term. |
