On the science of Diet and Exercise for Weight Loss and Improvement in Health

How can a doctor not have the ability to prescribe specifics to diet and exercise?  What is the truth to the claims put forth by all of the “experts” out there?  Is there any empirical evidence to support any of the various claims? Why, if I did exactly what everyone told me did I still not see any changes?  On The Science of Diet & Exercise For Weight Loss & Improvement In Health is designed to help answer many of these questions.  This book is unlike many of the other books on this topic, providing an unbiased review of the information to  towards how diet and exercise functions within our body and does not intended to say select this type of exercise or that type of diet. Nor is it designed to push a dogmatic agenda or specific program that can be purchased. Instead, it is a journey through the empirical scientific evidence, and not the personal anecdotes, about how diet and exercise can effectively be used for weight loss and improve one's overall health. Explaining what we understand of how diet and exercise works based on the logic of "What do we think", "What do we know" and "What can we prove" in five areas of the issues of obesity and the diet and exercise: 1. What we know about the causes of obesity and health issues associated with being obese; 2. How can news stories come out and state that science is touting one thing as being the “next big thing to make you lose weight” only to later show science concludes that it is not that great at all; 3. How exercise and diet assists with improving health issues that people who are obese face; 4. What are the practical implications of the findings and how can I incorporation exercise or dietary modifications into my life; and 5. What evidence explains the implications for the yo-yo effect in diet and exercise, and how can I have long-term maintenance.
