America boasts both a billion-dollar weight loss industry and a burgeoning obese population. Does this make sense? The money-driven industry exploits our insecurities and capitalizes on the desire for instant results, offering a steady stream of diet programs, fitness fads, and quick-fix gimmicks, all of which continue to miserably fail the overweight American public. Most of these programs/products lack scientific research to back their claims and rely on baseless "customer testimonials". Throw a celebrity in there for effect and you've got a proven sales winner, but nothing more. The industry's focus on rapid, unsustainable weight loss methods, rather than long-term health and well-being, continues to fuel a cycle of disappointment and frustration. The circus-wheel cycle of weight loss. Regain only serves to perpetuate unrealistic body standards and harmful health practices. Now, partner this with the continual onslaught of processed packaged poisons from "Food" Manufacturers and you have a recipe for defeat. The preservative we consume are preserving our waste and weight and fueling weight-loss frustration. If you find yourself caught in this vicious cycle of loss of regain and repeat, it can end here. So how could all of this be avoided, and if you are there, how can you turn it around? You will find the answers in each chapter. I am keeping the message strong and the information short and sweet.
