| Summary: |
"After years of failed diets, Dr. Nadja Hermann weighed 150kg at the age of 30. All her life, she had heard and read about hundreds of reasons why diets wouldn't work for her. But when her weight started to seriously affect her health, she took a hard look at the science and realised that most of what she believed about dieting was a myth. What was more, these myths were preventing her from losing weight. Forget clean eating, paleo or fasting-- it was conquering these elements of "Fat logic" that finally led to Hermann achieving a healthy weight. One and a half years later, she weighed 65kg, and has maintained that weight to this day."--Page 4 of cover. |
