Smart people don't diet.

Based on 100 years of research, it presents the main causes of weight gain and what leads to healthy and permanent weight loss. In Smart People Don't Diet, Charlotte N. Markey draws on decades of research to show that most diets are doomed to failure. This is because short-term restrictive diets, conversely, culminate in weight gain caused by excessive eating at the end of the moderation period. Based on the premises of Eating Psychology, Dr. Markey deconstructs these miracle diets, suggesting a different approach for effective and lasting weight control. This book not only offers practical advice and tips on how to eat well and lose weight without regaining the weight lost, but also promotes and upholds the basic principles of eating: fun, happiness, and togetherness.
