NOT TO GET The most effective way to manage your weight is to avoid getting fat in the first place. No one wants to spend their life on a diet, dealing with cravings and denying themselves the food that they want. Yet it seems that 1 in 4 adults seem to be on a diet ‘most of the time’. This book shows that prevention is better than cure.

HOW

NOT TO GET

If all diets work, why is it such a problem for us to maintain a healthy weight while still enjoying life? And why do we fall into the trap of sending ourselves on an endless rollercoaster of boom and bust, dieting and overeating, which makes us feel bad or ashamed about ourselves? How we think about food is usually at odds with the way in which our bodies turn food into energy. In our minds, we often see food as the enemy, and engage in a battle that we feel we will always lose.We learn how to diet, not how to eat, and when we treat ourselves the weight creeps back on again. In this practical and often humorous guide Ian Marber explains how our bodies work, reminds us of how unhealthy our emotional relationship with food can be, and provides simple guidelines on good nutrition. Quite simply, Ian shows us what to eat, and when, so that we will never get fat.
