FOUR HEARTS 
In FIGHTING
FAT, BREAK THE DIETING CYCLE AND GET HEALTHY, Dr. Steven Lamm presents not
only an in depth explanation of why we gain weight, but provides a detailed
analysis of the pros and cons on a number of modern weight loss
techniques. He doesn’t tout one as the
be all and end all of weight loss, but provides clear and understandable
information the lay person can use to make an intelligent decision about which
approach is best for him or her.
Chapters include some of the most
up-to-date stats on how our society as a whole has caused its own weight gain
before moving on to just what makes up a fat cell and how our brain – both physically
and psychologically plays a part in the process of eating, gaining and losing
weight. What I appreciated was how he
focuses on health: being and getting
healthy and how a one size doesn’t fit all in terms of weight loss. He covers not only different drugs that may
assist in controlling weight, but descriptions about surgery and
lap-bands.
Each chapter contains relevant
information, followed by a story regarding one of his patients and additional resources
and references so the reader can further educate him or herself.
Lamm’s book is not entertaining but a
factual account of how we got where we are as a nation and a variety of ways to
straighten our personal weight issues out.
I’d recommend FIGHTING FAT to
anyone interested in their personal health.
You do not have to be over (or under) weight to learn something new and
add to your personal health-making arsenal.
This is an objective review and an endorsement of this
book.
