Critiques en avant-première

The media, celebrities, weight-loss gurus, and the Internet bombard us with directives about how to shed unwanted pounds: Count calories, cut carbs, exercise more, eat earlier, skip meals, drink more water, sip apple cider vinegar, pop a pill. Yet as more of us try diligently to follow such prescriptions, our waistlines continue to expand. *For the ebook, we have PDF available. As seasoned health journalist Robert J. Davis argues in Supersized Lies, this failure isn’t our fault. Instead, much of the blame lies with those who peddle misleading advice. Through meticulous research, Davis reveals how hype, half-truths, and unproven solutions steer us into fruitless quests that inflict emotional and physical harm. He also delves into the history of these misguided ideas, spotlighting the characters behind them and the stories of how they emerged and gained wide acceptance. In addition to uncovering how and why we’re being led astray, Supersized Lies lays out weight-control strategies that research shows actually work, providing practical information that can help readers avoid wasting time, money, and energy. And it tells the inspiring stories of people who, after falling victim to the falsehoods of conventional guidance, have achieved success by forging their own paths. Written in a lively, easy-to-understand style, this myth-shattering book sheds surprising new light on old assumptions and offers a way forward to those caught in the cacophony of weight-loss advice.
