The Weight Loss Industry is expanding even more rapidly than people’s waistlines.
New tips, tricks, books, cooks, diets and day spas are hitting the market every day. New 12-week, 10-week and two-week ‘transformations’ are saturating the web like cheese on a pizza. And new weight loss buzzwords are popping up faster than you can sauté kale: NeuroSlimming, EcoSlimming, SocioSlimming – are they just another fad? Or is neuroscience finally getting a grip on our love handles?
Richly thought-provoking and wickedly entertaining, this presentation takes you on a fast-paced, action-packed tour of diets and exercise. From liver cleansing to lentils; leotards to lycra; low cal to lavage; and portion size to paleo, you’ll discover how a brief history of weight loss reveals a new way forward. This hilariously insightful, weighty treatise shows how diets are inherently flawed and how focusing on living, not losing, is the path to healthy, sustainable and enjoyable slimming.
