Books really are amazingly heavy. When I would train for a backpacking trip, I’d put books in my pack to get an appropriate weight and it’s amazing how much smaller that pack was than the pack I’d actually carry.
Speaking from my own experience(in 2003 I weighed 412 pounds) all diet books are worthless. I currently weigh between 215 and 220. After failing to lose weight after trying several diets I had Roex-en-Y gastric bypass surgery in 2003. I can’t overeat anymore as it is physically impossible, if I do eat even a little bit too much, I get sick and spend several miserable hours attempting, and failing, to throw up
Trouble is, you gain weight by eating processed food because it’s easy and to follow a diet you have to cook. It’s the change of lifestyle that fails, not the food itself

Sweat is the best diet.

So…Now those diet and weight loss books are in the fiction area?

Thing is, weight lost from sweating is easily replaced.

Just follow the “Donkey Diet”… that is, keep your AZZ out of the refrigerator.

The only way diet books help.

Natural whole foods: Protein, veg, fruit, starches – ditch 99% liquid calories – weight drops right off. Moving helps, but can’t out move a poor diet.

the truth about weight lose, you get in shape at the gym and loose weight in the kitchen.

I was actually thinking the punch line was going to be something like they helped her financially because they’re such big sellers.

There is no such thing as something as simple as a “diet” — only a change of diet.
