'In this deeply researched book, Aamodt demolishes the conventional wisdom on dieting, building a compelling case that if we want to be healthier, we should diet less, not more. Essential reading for today's weight-obsessed culture.' - Traci Mann, PhD., author of Secrets from the Eating Lab;'Finally, a scientist who bridges the gap between the emerging behavioral theories of weight loss and our current disastrous attempts to diet our way thin! I can't wait for this to be published so I can give it to patients.' - Dr. Henry S. Lodge, professor at Columbia University Medical Center and co-author of Younger Next Year;'This important book sounds a much-needed alarm about the long-term damage that dieting does to our bodies and minds. Highly recommended for chronic calorie counters and anyone trying to raise healthy, sane children in an insane food world.' - Jonathan Bailor, author of The Calorie Myth and founder of SANESolution.com
