Skinny, Fat, Perfect is part memoir, part road map, and whole-heartedly designed to help readers approach healthy eating and weight loss from a different perspective. The book is a guide for returning to self-love, healing old wounds, and being happy in your body at any size or age. It's time to abandon the popular fear-based and fight-oriented diet paradigm, and instead see how accepting ourselves and our bodies will lead to natural, healthy, and sustainable weight. This book chronicles the author's personal journey of releasing 100 pounds permanently, and overcoming the self-loathing and addiction that dominated her life. Now a teacher and mentor to others facing similar challenges around the world, she shares the techniques she uses to help her students break free of the diet mentality, release significant weight, and see themselves in a new, loving light, for good.

A biochemist shows how we can finally control our fat—by understanding how it works. Fat is not just excess weight, but actually a dynamic, smart, and self-sustaining organ that influences everything from aging and immunity to mood and fertility. With cutting-edge research and riveting case studies—including the story of a girl who had no fat, and that of a young woman who couldn’t stop eating—Dr. Sylvia Tara reveals the surprising science behind our most misunderstood body part and its incredible ability to defend itself. Exploring the unexpected ways viruses, hormones, sleep, and genetics impact fat, Tara uncovers the true secret to losing weight: working with your fat, not against it.

“If diets worked, we'd all be thin by now. Instead, we have enlisted hundreds of millions of people into a war we can't win." What’s the secret to losing weight? If you’re like most of us, you’ve tried cutting calories, sipping weird smoothies, avoiding fats, and swapping out sugar for Splenda. The real secret is that all of those things are likely to make you weigh more in a few years, not less. In fact, a good predictor of who will gain weight is who says they plan to lose some. Last year, 108 million Americans went on diets, to the applause of doctors, family, and friends. But long-term studies of dieters consistently find that they’re more likely to end up gaining weight in the next two to fifteen years than people who don’t diet. Neuroscientist Sandra Aamodt spent three decades in her own punishing cycle of starving and regaining before turning her scientific eye to the research on weight and health. What she found defies the conventional wisdom about dieting: ·Telling children that they’re overweight makes them more likely to gain weight over the next few years. Weight shaming has the same effect on adults. ·The calories you absorb from a slice of pizza depend on your genes and on your gut bacteria. So does the number of calories you’re burning right now. ·Most people who lose a lot of weight suffer from obsessive thoughts, binge eating, depression, and anxiety. They also burn less energy and find eating much more rewarding than it was before they lost weight. ·Fighting against your body’s set point—a central tenet of most diet plans—is exhausting, psychologically damaging, and ultimately counterproductive. If dieting makes us fat, what should we do instead to stay healthy and reduce the risks of diabetes, heart disease, and other obesity-related conditions? With clarity and candor, Aamodt makes a spirited case for abandoning diets in favor of behaviors that will truly improve and extend our lives.

As a society, we are more health conscious than ever before, yet one in four Americans is considered obese. The confusing bombardment of information we receive daily about diet and exercise has done little to answer the perennial question -- "What's the best way to lose weight?" Separating fact from fiction, The Skinny on Fat examines weight gain and health from a scientific point of view, describing what recent research tells us about how our bodies work, why we gain weight, and whether we should diet at all. Some of the topics it covers include: -- The weight control drugs of yesterday, today, and tomorrow -- Diet and exercise -- The molecular and genetic basis of weight -- Is obesity a disease? -- Getting thin the healthy way -- The future of weight control Not a miracle program for weight loss, The Skinny on Fat is a revealing look at how the scientific view of obesity has resulted in a new definition of fat -- one that contains more biology and less guilt. It is essential reading for anyone, regardless of weight, who is interested in living a healthier life.
