Synopsis

Diet Fiction is the story of humans’ battle with excess weight – from ancient times, when the problem was first observed, through today. Right now, about two billion people or 30% of the world’s population, are overweight or obese. For many of them, "the yoyo effect" has become a way of life. Their weight goes up and down, and then back up again. Each time they lose weight, they end up regaining the weight they lost and then some. While it is sometimes hard to understand, hundreds of millions of people have actually dieted themselves to fatness. Some people say the reason for our epidemic of overweight people is genetics, but it is impossible for genetics to explain such a rapid increase in the prevalence of overweight and obese people. Something else is clearly going on. What is it? There is no end to the number of theories put forth. One of the reasons is that there is so much money to be made in offering a solution for those who are suffering from "the yoyo effect". Dr. Pam Popper, Ph.D., N.D. and filmmaker Michal Siewierski (Food Choices, Diet Fiction), join forces to create a book that empowers the reader with factual, unbiased, science based information that can help people regain control over their weight and their health, by making simple dietary and lifestyle changes.
