Book excerpt: Every day we are bombarded with dire warnings about the 'obesity epidemic'. A large percentage of the adult population is obsessed with dieting. Yet studies show that a moderately active larger person is likely to be far healthier (and to live longer) than someone who is thin by sedentary.After years scrutinising medical studies and interviewing leading doctors, scientists, eating-disorder specialists and psychiatrists, Professor Paul Campos here leads the backlash against weight hysteria and shows that we can safeguard our health without obsessing about the numbers on the scales.The Obesity Myth is not just a compelling argument grounded in scientific research, it is also an expose of the billion-dollar weight-loss industry and the culture that feeds our self-defeating war on fat. Professor Campos challenges the conventional wisdom regarding the medical, political and cultural meanings behind the current weight debate.

Book excerpt: Contrary to what most diets would have you believe, the human body does not recognize all calories as equal. Some foods are used to boost brain power, fuel metabolism, and heal the body—while others are simply stored as fat. In The Calorie Myth, Bailor shows us how eating more of the right kinds of foods and exercising less, but at a higher intensity, is the true formula for burning fat. Why? Because eating high-quality foods balances the hormones that regulate our metabolism. When we eat these foods, our bodies naturally maintain a healthy weight. But when we eat sugar, starches, processed fats, and other poor-quality foods, the body's regulatory system becomes "clogged" and prevents us from burning extra calories. Translation: Those extra 10 pounds aren't the result of eating too much . . . they're the result of eating the wrong foods! Bailor offers clear, comprehensive guidance on what to eat and why, providing an eating plan, recipes, and a simple yet effective exercise regimen. Losing weight doesn't have to mean going hungry or spending hours at the gym. The Calorie Myth offers a radical and effective new model for weight loss and long-term health.
