Don't Diet [Hardcover] Review

I had the good fortune to attend Dale Atren's lectures on psychobiology and neuroscience during my undergraduate degree. His lectures were simultaneously hilarious and serious. This book is in that vein (though 'hilarious' is too strong in this case).

The 'take home' message of one of Atren's lecture series was this (as far as I can remember): Forget about fad diets (which is just about all the diets on the market) because they usually do more harm than good in the long-run, both physically and psychologically. Instead, use COMMONSENSE to eat whatever you feel like (which by and large means eating lots of different types of yummy good - like the French do), stop worrying about your weight, and enjoy yourself. Don't be a slave to poorly educated 'nutritionists:' they rely on low self-esteem associated with 'being fat' and so have a vested interest in not revealing to you that frankly, being 'fat' (as opposed to clinically obese) is not really unhealthy at all. And THAT is pretty much the message of this book too. Just don't worry, be fatty.
