3.0 out of 5 stars A speech awkwardly reformatted into a book..., September 29, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fat Chance!: The Myth of Dieting Explained (Paperback)
This book seems to be a transcript of a college lecture. It skims over it's topics with an unpolished combination of colloquialisms and academicism that left this reader disappointed. Its prose is rough and unprofessional.

It's content is a welcome, clear-eyed double-take on the state of dieters' body images. It asks the important question, Is feeling fat and being fat the same problem? It has ten brief chapters:
1. Taming the female form: putting dieting into perspective
2. Who is dieting?
3. Why do so many women diet?
4. What are dieters doing?
5. The dieting industry
6. Do diets work?
7. Why do diets fail?
8. Men and dieting
9. Why continue to diet?
10. Giving up dieting
