There are a million diets out there. Do any of them work? According to Rethinking Thin, all of them work - to a point. After that, none of them work. Gina Kolata of the New York Times has written a provocative book about the history and culture of dieting in America, along with the science of weight control and where it may be heading. She follows a group of dieters on a two-year university medical center study. It seems that very little is known about dieting other than anectodally. This is not an inspirational book about how to lose weight, but it's good to know what you're up against.
