Sorry if I sound like an infomercial here, but this book proved to me that it was not a lack of willpower or bad genes that was causing my problems.  It was the flawed science behind the conventional wisdom of weight loss.

More people should be concerned about their health and look for answers. Anything that will give people the tools is welcome news from me.

Obesity has become an National epidemic, along with the diabetes and other serious health problems associated with it.

The current generation is the first one in our history that has a good shot of having a shorter lifespan than the one before it :(

At the same time health care costs are skyrocketing and were struggling to hold down costs without cutting quality of care.

75% of health problems are lifestyle related. You can pay " now", healthier, maybe more expensive food, and exercise time or pay " later, with hospital stays, expensive medicines and poor quality of life, and maybe diminished lifespan.

Even if you don't care about quality of life and living longer, just from a purely economic standpoint, it's cheaper to stay moderately healthy, than pay medical/rehab bills, and higher insurance premiums ;)
