The Fat Busters Handbook
A professional guide to fat loss
Are you a health professional dealing with any of the following?
Weight loss, heart disease, arthritis, hypertension, menopause, men's health.
The Fatbusters Handbook by one of Australia's leaders in the field of weight loss study will revolutionise your attitude to slimming and healthy weight maintenance.
Working with the latest research from around the world, Egger reveals some startling new discoveries about:
* how the weight loss industry, by its very nature, is making people fat (their programs are setting up the very conditions that will ultimately lead to their clients gaining even more weight)
* the true nature of fat and its role in (and threat to) our lives
* how the body will use every means it has to store fat from our diet and how it can be out-smarted
* how certain foods aid and abet fat in this process
* why women gain fat more easily than men, find it harder to lose than men, and why they put it back on faster than men (which, if men don't understand this - and most men don't - can cause problems in relationships, sometimes to the extent of them breaking up)
* why men are at risk from their pot bellies
* why it's vital for men retiring from sport to go on a food retraining program
* why age, sex and race considerations must alter the approach to any fat loss program
* how, as a health professional, you can give your clients a fat loss program that really works, which won't contribute to future fat gains, and which can be sustained for life
Garry Egger also deals with the vital issue of ethics for those working with clients or patients who are trying to lose weight - a topic all professionals shoud take a hard look at.
This is a book which tells the truth about this multi-billion dollar problem. Are you contributing to other people's weight gain?
Garry Egger is known throughout Australia and increasingly overseas for his pioneering work in the weight loss field, particularly for men with his Gutbuster program. He has co-authored with Rosemary Stanton the best selling Gutbuster guides.
Boyde Swinburne is Medical Director of the New Zealand National Heart Foundation and a world authority on dietary fat and obesity.
