Lessons from the Fat-O-Sphere: Quit Dieting and Declare a Truce with Your Body by Kate Harding and Marianne Kirby
Lessons from the Fat-O-Sphere: Quit Dieting and Declare a Truce with Your Body

SmittenKitten, December 15, 2009

I skimmed through the first chapter of this book. It goes on (and on) about how “diets don't work”. Well – duh! If you go on a diet and lose weight, the diet “worked”. If you then go off the diet, reverting to the way of eating which made you fat in the first place, you can’t blame the diet for your regain. This isn’t rocket science, it’s just commonsense. I didn’t bother reading the rest of the book.
