Health at Every Size: a book with a difference.

At 100% People, we are here to advocate happiness and health, not to preach or make you feel inadequate. We are here to support you, to provide the information you want to hear about and give you a resource you can return to time and time again.

I am always looking out for inspiration.

Here is my latest addition to help all of us feel happy in ourselves. And it is based on science and real results.

‘Health at Every Size’ is a book by Linda Bacon, but before you think it’s another fad diet, which it wouldn’t be because that’s not what we believe here! It’s a book that tells the truth about your weight. Rather than me explain it, here is the blurb on the back:

“Fat isn’t the problem. Dieting is the problem. A society that rejects anyone whose body shape or size doesn’t match an impossible ideal is the problem. A medical establishment that equals “thin” with “healthy” is the problem. The solution?

Health at Every Size.

Tune in to your body’s expert guidance. Find the joy in movement. Eat what you want, when you want, choosing pleasurable foods that help you feel good. You too can feel great in your body right now.

Health at Every Size has been scientifically proven to boost health and self esteem. The program was evaluated in a government-funded academic study, its data published in well-respected scientific journals.
Health at Every Size is not a diet book. Read it and you will be convinced the best way to win the war against fat is to give up the fight.”

If you want to read excerpts from the book, then click on this link to go straight to her website, I have included a little section from the introduction below, let me know what you think.

“You want to lose weight. You look in the mirror and you see “fat and ugly.” You’ve heard the obesity fears trumpeted repeatedly in newspapers, magazines, and on the television news: 65 percent of Americans are overweight or obese . . . growing numbers of overweight kids . . . we don’t know how to eat . . . we’re not exercising enough . . . we’re the first generation that’s going to die younger than our parents . . . blah, blah, blah. So you buy one diet book after another, desperate for the one that will finally save you. But they never do, at least not in any lasting way.

Face it, the “D” word is dead. A new diet isn’t going to get you what you want. You’ve been there, done that, and there’s no point in trying again. Even exercise programs don’t deliver.

So you picked up this book, Health at Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight, hoping it will finally provide the cure. This book can cure your weight woes, but the answer may be different from what you’ve imagined.”
