How many times have you gone on a diet and lost a few pounds, only to hit, once again, that dreaded plateau? Many people manage to lose the first 10, 15, or 20 pounds of the weight they want to shed. Then, no matter how hard they work, they can't seem to nudge the number on the scale farther down, and often they end up gaining back the weight they lost. Finally, there is a healthy, permanent weight-loss solution that will get you off the frustrating yo-yo that often accompanies most fad diets. Dr. George L. Blackburn is the associate director of the Division of Nutrition at Harvard Medical School and directs the Center for the Study of Nutrition Medicine, which investigates complex issues in nutrition and health. Based on three decades of his research and clinical practice, Break Through Your Set Point offers an exciting and effective program that will give you specific tools to help you get out of your rut and prevent those extra pounds from coming back. Your set point, or typical body weight, is determined by your genes and your environment. Many modern lifestyle habits—including getting too little sleep and eating on the run—have conspired to raise many people's set points to unhealthily high levels. According to Dr. Blackburn's theory, if you set a reasonable goal to lose about 10 percent of your initial body weight, then hold steady at your new weight without regaining any pounds for at least six months, you can reset your body's set point. And once you've reset your set point, you can repeat the cycle to lose even more weight. The body's innate tendency to protect itself against starvation explains why the body resists losing weight after a certain point. Dr. Blackburn explains the science behind the set-point theory and helps you devise a plan that works for you. With his unique, multi-faceted approach, Dr. Blackburn shows that hitting your set point is not a dead end but the first step in losing weight the right way. This book will help you overcome your weight-loss plateau once and for all.

The world would have you believe that losing weight is easy, but the truth is, in many cases, you're being fed a generous helping of falsehoods and misguided dieting advice. The media, celebrities, weight-loss gurus, and the Internet bombard society with recommendations about how to shed unwanted pounds: Count calories, cut carbs, exercise more, skip meals, drink more water, pop a pill. Yet as more people try diligently to follow this advice, waistlines continue to expand. In Supersized Lies, Robert J. Davis, PhD, aka The Healthy Skeptic, shows you why this inability to lose weight isn't your fault as he reveals how hype, half-truths, and unproven solutions have steered you into fruitless quests that inflict emotional and physical harm. In this health and wellness book, the award-winning health journalist, whose work has appeared on CNN, WebMD, and in The Wall Street Journal, reveals: Which weight-loss measures are most - and least - likely to be effective. How conventional wisdom about weight loss is often wrong. How to spot misleading weight-loss advice, and avoid being duped into wasting time, money, and effort. How, contrary to what we often hear, effective weight control doesn't require following complicated, restrictive rules. The interesting history behind flawed weight-loss advice, and the forces that currently perpetuate and benefit from it. In addition to uncovering how and why we're being led astray, Supersized Lies lays out weight-control strategies that research shows actually work, 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 an inspiring way forward to those caught in the cacophony of weight-loss advice.

The Health and Fitness industry has lied to me for many years. It is currently worth $ 4.2 trillion. The Healthy Eating, Nutrition, and Weight Loss sector alone is worth $ 702 billion. There are many brilliant ideas to make big bucks from people who are looking for fat burn secrets or how to burn belly fat fast, and most of them are based on magical “rapid weight loss” diet plans/powders/teas/exercise plans/pills, etc. The industry is making giant money off of ordinary people who want to learn more, but there is so much information thrown at them that they just can’t distinguish legit data from the crap that was creatively made to look like evidence-based material. Are you a serial dieter who has tried literally everything that’s out there? Are you a mature woman who has been told that weight loss for women over 40 is just not happening? Are you unsuccessfully trying to lose that post-pregnancy weight? Are you feeling bitter and disappointed because you are so dedicated to your workout routines and healthy eating, learned how to count calories, but somehow you still can’t seem to get rid of those last few pounds? Or are you a little scared and reluctant to start any weight loss program because they all just seem to be so strict that they would require your undivided attention and efforts? You do not need to be always hungry and miserable to lose weight. Your life does not have to be full of restrictions and exclusions. Your family life does not have to be ruined. Social situations do not have to be unbearable. You don’t have to kiss pizza goodbye forever. You don’t have to kill yourself training. You can eat as many meals per day as you want, at whatever time you choose. You don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars on supplements. Does this sound like science-fiction? It’s not. It’s just science: no magic. Do yourself a favor - stop reading obsolete and harmful weight loss theories. Stop listening to charlatans telling you that a detox or magic pills will solve your problem. Stop getting excited about new strict “weight loss” diets, which promise you 40 lbs. less in 2 months. Learn what weight loss is really about, how it actually happens, and how you can pull this off and still live a normal life. This book WILL NOT tell you what exactly you must / must not eat. However, it WILL show you HOW to choose what you eat, what flexible dieting looks like, and how your body will respond to what’s on your plate. This book focuses on the most important things you need to know, including hormone balance. Information in this book is based on pure scientific knowledge and its sensible interpretation, and not on guesswork or some tortuous ideologies that simply feel right at the time for their authors, so they present them as scientific facts. The weight loss process is simple, logical, and easy. This is the only book on weight loss that you will ever need because nothing else actually works. Does this mean it will require no effort at all? Of course not. You have to work to get what you want. After all - “If we keep doing what we're doing, we're going to keep getting what we're getting.” [Stephen Covey] Will this turn your life upside down? No, not in a negative sense. You can lose weight while having a normal life. However, it will definitely be a life-changing experience, this I can promise.
