High Risk Body Size: Take control of your weight

"I've tried everything to lose weight!" But have you really? High Risk Body Size says that diets fail in the mind, not the body. This book takes an exciting, challenging look at the underlying psychological reasons why many fail to lose weight despite their best endeavours. It analyses popular diets, and 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 may simply need to learn new ways of thinking: this book shows how.
