About this product

Product Information

At last, a weight-loss book for the enlightened! By debunking the traditional, the conventional and the downright unproven, ESCAPE THE DIET TRAP steers would-be dieters away from short-term regimes towards long-term success. The Problem: despite a wealth of nutrition advice, rates of obesity continue to rise. While specific diets vary in approach, the advice is generally underpinned by the calorie principle: weight loss is simply a matter of 'eating less or exercising more'. Yet both science and anecdote frequently reveal that this doesn't work beyond the short term. The Solution: Escape the Diet Trap reveals the myriad of reasons why taking a calorie-based approach to weight loss essentially dooms us to failure. It explains that it's not the dieter that is usually at fault, but the approach. By presenting ways of eating that offer enjoyable, satisfying fat loss, without extensive exercise, calorie-control or hunger, Escape the Diet Trap shows how to escape the cycle of restrictive attempts at weight loss and establish a healthy, sustainable relationship to food. Key Features: * A thorough debunking of conventional weight-loss theory and the calorie principle using up-to-date, published research. * Science-based information and advice about weight control and health that change beliefs about food and lead to sustained changes in eating behaviour. * Practical, easy-to-apply fat-loss strategies that do not depend on eating less or exercising more. * Nutritional strategies for quashing carbohydrate cravings quickly and easily. * Trustworthy information from a doctor and author with 20 years' experience with thousands of patients.

  • It's all true! Get on with it.

    The book caught my interest from page1 and I've found it easy to follow as I progress. The book is based around the eating habits which have evolved since mankind came into existance thousands of years ago. These have proved very successful until recent times until the introduction of highly processed foods caused an imbalance in peoples' sustinence and has resulted in an obesity epidemic. I'm 71 years old and despite having a strict exercise regime (4 mile undulating walk daily), have seen my body weight increase to 13 stone. After 6 weeks using Dr. John Briffa's book - 'Escape the diet trap' I've seen my weight drop by 15 pounds. The best part is that I haven't felt hungry during this period. The book goes into a lot of detail about how the human body operates but, if you aren't interested in how it works but are only interested in using his techniques then begin at chapter 19 - If I were you though I'd read the summary of each chapter too. I'll tell you again - It's working for me and I havent felt hungry since I began. David
