This approach to weight control contends that no matter what diet one tries, it is doomed to fail because each body has a certain "setpoint" or level of stored fat.

Must read book for anyone considering dieting,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Dieter's Dilemma: Eating Less and Weighing More (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book. It is the very first book I have ever found that actually describes the scientific research on weight loss and gain. Other books about dieting simply promote the author's diet and carefully avoid discussing the biology of dieting. This book tells you what you really need to know.

The book for when you're ready for reality,
This review is from: The Dieter's Dilemma: Eating Less and Weighing More (Hardcover)
Although this book is beginning to become dated, it remains in line with what scientific research keeps stating: We cannnot sustain a reduction in food intake any more than we can impose a sustained change in our breathing patterns. We need science to invent an appetite-suppressing treatment that affects ghrelin, leptin, adiponectin and other hormones--the dictators of our appetite and metabolism. Until then, all we can do is choose quality foods, eat until we are satiated, and enjoy whatever physical activity suits us best. This book will not help you lose weight, but it may keep you from losing mind when all the popular diets fail you.

This review is from: The Dieter's Dilemma: Eating Less and Weighing More (Hardcover)
this book is a little dated. Much more scientific research has been done since its publication. A few good points
