Weight reduction is as much a mental process as it is a physical process. You cannot divorce the mind from the body. The mind can make you ill and the mind can make you well. The mind can make you fat and the mind can make you thin. That is why, in order to be effective and successful, a weight control program must be mind-body oriented! The weight will take care of itself if and when you learn to take of yourself. Weight loss without rehabilitation of lifestyle is fruitless because sooner or later you will gain it all back. The only way not to gain it back is to change your lifestyle day-by-day. The pathway to your body is through your mind. The mind can make you fat and your mind can make you thin.

Despite apocalyptic predictions from a vocal alliance of health professionals, politicians and social commentators that rising obesity levels would lead to a global health crisis, the crisis has not materialised. In this provocative follow up to his classic work of obesity scepticism, The Obesity Epidemic, Michael Gard argues that we have entered into a new, and perhaps terminal, phase of the obesity debate. Evidence suggests that obesity rates are levelling off in Western societies, life expectancies continue to rise in line with rising obesity rates, and across the world policy-makers have remained largely indifferent and inactive in the face of this apparently deadly threat to our health and well-being. Dissecting and dismissing much of the over-blown rhetoric and ideological bias found on both sides of the obesity debate, Gard demonstrates that the science of obesity remains radically uncertain and that it is impossible to establish an objective ‘truth’ on which to base policy. His powerful and inescapable conclusion is that we should now mark the end of the obesity epidemic. Offering a road map through the maze of claims and counter-claims, while still holding to a sceptical standpoint, this book provides an unparalleled anatomy of obesity as a scientific, political and cultural issue. It is essential reading for anybody with an interest in the science or sociology of health and lifestyle.
