Health at Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight

You want to lose weight. You look in the mirror and you see “fat and ugly.” You’ve heard the obesity fears trumpeted repeatedly in newspapers, magazines, and on the television news: 65 percent of Americans are overweight or obese . . . growing numbers of overweight kids . . . we don’t know how to eat . . . we’re not exercising enough . . . we’re the first generation that’s going to die younger than our parents . . . blah, blah, blah. So you buy one diet book after another, desperate for the one that will finally save you. But they never do, at least not in any lasting way.

Face it, the “D” word is dead. A new diet isn’t going to get you what you want. You’ve been there, done that, and there’s no point in trying again. Even exercise programs don’t deliver.

So you are considering this book, Health at Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight, hoping it will finally provide the cure. This book can cure your weight woes, but the answer may be different from what you’ve imagined.

Health at Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight describes the new scientific discoveries and provides you with practical, research-based advice to reconceptualize and permanently overcome your weight problem. It is intended to educate you, support you in achieving and maintaining the weight that is right for you, and help redirect you to adopt healthy habits for the sake of health, enjoyment, and vitality.

I hope that Health at Every Size will touch you deeply. While I expect it will make you angry about your wasted years of guilt-laden eating, failed diets, and self-blame, may it also give you hope and inspire you into action and good health.

Health at Every Size: The Surprising Truth about Your Weight is coming in November 2008. Join Linda's mailing list for a publication alert.
