Summaries and Reviews
Summary
A noted fitness expert discredits the conventional belief that obesity is a 'killer disease,' citing the findings that excess dietary fat, not weight, is the contributor to cancer, diabetes, and heart disease, and that individuals have a natural weight that may be ten to fifty pounds above the standard.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Gaesser introduces the concept of metabolic fitness, which can be achieved by anyone regardless of his weight. His Twenty/Twenty Program consists of a delicious, satisfying complex-carbohydrate eating plan that aims for 20% fat and an average of 20 minutes of moderate activity daily for optimal health. Readers can stop dieting and discover how to be fit at any weight.
