For men and women who are obese, the weight loss journey is about much more than shedding a few pounds. Obesity can lead to serious health risks and problems — both physical and psychological — and the struggle to cope can be a frustrating, life-long endeavour. It doesn’t have to be this way. InConquering Obesity, medical nutrition specialist Dr. Lance Levy offers a highly individual approach for dealing with weight management that recognizes obesity as a symptom of a larger, often undiagnosed, problem. Based on more than fifteen years of experience and research, Levy contends that an astonishing 90 per cent of people with weight issues have one or more of the following underlying medical conditions: mood disorders chronic tiredness chronic pain chronic gastrointestinal difficulties disorders of impulse regulation (binge eating disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and night-time eating syndrome) In these cases, when the underlying conditions are treated, long-term weight loss frequently occurs without any special diets. This updated edition includes the latest information on the links between obesity and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, the effectiveness of cognitive and psychodynamic therapies, nighttime eating syndrome, and the non-negotiable time commitment needed to work on diet and lifestyle changes. Augmented with extensive case studies and data from Levy’s own successful practice,Conquering Obesity offers hope to anyone fighting the battle of weight management.

Why do diets fail? Is it because of genetic disposition? A sluggish metabolism? An underactive thyroid? A behavioural psychologist reveals the truth about dieting, including how she lost over 100lb in one year. After years of failed diets Dr Nadja Hermann weighed over 23 stone at the age of 30. All her life, she had heard and read about hundreds of reasons why diets wouldn't work for her. But when her weight started to seriously affect her health, she took a hard look at the science and realised that most of what she believed about dieting was a myth. What was more, those very myths were preventing her from losing weight. Forget clean eating, paleo, or fasting — it was conquering these elements of ‘Fat Logic’ that finally led to Hermann achieving a healthy weight. One and a half years later, she weighed 10 stone, and has maintained that weight to this day. Now, using humour, the insight she’s acquired, and a dose of science, Hermann debunks widespread lies about weight loss, and shows how it is possible to attain a healthy weight.

The author relates his journey from obese infant and child, through his struggle to lose the weight and emerge as a healthy young man.

Leading Harvard Medical School expert and "obesity warrior" (Time magazine) Dr. David Ludwig rewrites the rules on weight loss, diet, and health in this guide to retraining your cells and reclaiming your health for life. Forget everything you've been taught about dieting. In Always Hungry?, renowned endocrinologist Dr. David Ludwig explains why traditional diets don't work and presents a radical new plan to help you lose weight without hunger, improve your health, and feel great. For over two decades, Dr. Ludwig has been at the forefront of research into weight control. His groundbreaking studies show that overeating doesn't make you fat; the process of getting fat makes you overeat. That's because fat cells play a key role in determining how much weight you gain or lose. Low-fat diets work against you by triggering fat cells to hoard more calories for themselves, leaving too few for the rest of the body. This "hungry fat" sets off a dangerous chain reaction that leaves you feeling ravenous as your metabolism slows down. Cutting calories only makes the situation worse by creating a battle between mind and metabolism that we're destined to lose. You gain more weight even as you struggle to eat less food. Always Hungry? turns dieting on its head with a three-phase program that ignores calories and targets fat cells directly. The recipes and meal plan include luscious high-fat foods (like nuts and nut butters, full-fat dairy, avocados, and dark chocolate), savory proteins, and natural carbohydrates. The result? Fat cells release their excess calories, and you lose weight - and inches - without battling cravings and constant hunger. This is dieting without deprivation. Forget calories. Forget cravings. Forget dieting. Always hungry? reveals a liberating new way to tame hunger and lose weight for good.
