Book Description
Many people feel they’ve tried everything in a vain attempt to lose weight – but make the mistake of looking at eating plans, instead of the thinking that drives their behaviour. High Risk Body Size says that diets fail in the mind, not the body, and takes an exciting, challenging look at the underlying psychological reasons for excess and unwanted weight gain. It shows how to break out of the obsession with weight, and the need for instant remedies, which may in themselves become dangers to our health, and looks at why some people opt for weight loss surgery as a desperate last remedy despite its well-publicised risks. Overweight people are often misunderstood as being weak-willed, but they may simply need to learn new ways of thinking – this book shows you how.
