Our government is telling us that obesity is a major health crisis, that sixty percent of Americans are “overweight” and that one in four is obese. But how true are these claims? In Fat Politics, Eric Oliver unearths the real story behind America’s “obesity epidemic.” Oliver shows how a handful of doctors, government bureaucrats, and health researchers, with financial backing from the drug and weight-loss industry, have campaigned to arbitrarily misclassify more than sixty million Americans as “overweight,” to inflate the health risks of being fat, and to falsely promote the idea that obesity is a killer disease. In reviewing the scientific evidence, Oliver shows there is little proof either that obesity causes most diseases or deaths or that losing weight makes people any healthier. Our concern with obesity is fueled more by social prejudice, bureaucratic politics, and industry profit than by scientific fact. Such misinformation, Oliver argues, is t… More >>

The Emotional First + Aid Kit: A Practical Guide to Life After Bariatric Surgery, Second Edition

Product Description
Ever hankered for a diet book by and for real people–people who, you know, actually have a life? Congratulations: you’ve just picked it up.

Before we began our diet, Neris and I weighted 434 pounds between us. Our goal was to lose 140 pounds between us in under a year, to go from a size 22 to a size 14. And we did it. If two unusually greedy, cocktail-loving moms can lose this amount of weight without much effort, so can anyone.

This book tells you how two friends did it, and how you can do it too. It’s not a diet devised by some bossy string bean who has never been more than 7 pounds overweight, nor by a fat middle-aged doctor, but a real, long-term, workable diet for real people. A modified and therefore bearable low-carb, high-protein way of eating, the diet really works and includes meal plans, recipes, advice on clothes, make-up and hair at every stage from fat to thin. It doesn’t include impossible exercise routines or… More >>
