Description
Fat happens. It can happen to anyone. And once it happens, it's hell's own game to get rid of it again. But why are we all putting on weight? And what can we do about it? "Obesity - how I hate that word - no matter how you say it, it sounds like an insult. It drags you down more heavily than gravity. It preys on your mind. It makes you feel worthless and stupid. Your brain tells you it's not such a problem. But when you look in the mirror, you register the pain. Because fat matters - in oh, so many ways." So says Anne Diamond in her heartfelt and revealing insight into the world-wide weight epidemic. She feels passionate about the subject because she's been there and back. Following her own much publicised battle with weight, Anne underwent gastric surgery as a last resort. Her shocking experience will, she hopes, be a warning to others. Her journey has led her to meet some of the world's top experts on the front line of the Fat War, and she's discovered some alarming facts: - Once you become obese, your body thinks that weight is 'normal' and fights all attempts to slim. - There is a link between obesity and impotence. - Thin people can be dangerously fat - but on the inside - so it doesn't show. - Men are better at slimming than women, but they often have more of the most dangerous kind of fat. - Scientist are working on a daily injection to finally beat fat and have already started 'human trials'. Diamond includes the views of well-known personalities, leading politicians, global medical experts, and stories of many who have suffered victimisation simply because of their size. Ground-breaking, candid and bravely written - this book challenges 'fattist' prejudice and will change attitudes to fat forever. For online support and more information, visit www.buddypower.net
