In "The Weighting Game" Dr. Lamb, a noted authority on nutrition and physical fitness, examines the hidden causes and effects of the body's systems for weight gain and loss. The secret to weight gain and loss is locked deep within the human brain. By this we don't mean any platitudes about the magic of "will power." Instead, it is the rate at which the brain commands the body to consume calories and convert them into energy and heat. Dr. Lamb explains in fascinating detail the numerous variables of diet, calorie consumption, exercise and the dangers of undernutrition. Yet "The Weighting Game" is not a diet book, but a book about weight that explains the hows and whys of the human body's operation and how basic biological and physical processes are the key to successful weight maintenance. The author also notes that gaining an understanding of what controls body weight is the best protection people can have against being ripped-off by unsound diet books, diet pills, body wraps, sweat suits, passive exercise machines, unwise surgery and various fads that promise quick weight loss without pain. It is essential to protect people from weight loss programs that are damaging to their health. This book, which tells the reader the truth about weight control, will undoubtedly help the public with this important health problem.
