recommended for: People who can't keep weight off
That whole thing about people having "set points" and not being able to get too far away from their "set point" weight? Scientifically proven fact, and Ms Kolata walks you though all the studies that prove it.
A great book for people who are beating themselves up because they can't lose weight, or they can lose weight, but they can't keep it off. She explains, in detail, why that is.
You can eat (a lot) healthier and stay at the bottom or your set point range, but you're never going to look like Kate Moss, and that's OK.
It's nice to be able to stop beating yourself up.
