About this item
Whether it's a new fad, "detox" diet, news report or a celebrity-endorsed supplement, the constant flow of diet information is cluttered, conflicting, and often devoid of scientific research-- leaving millions of us confused, overwhelmed, and feeling totally helpless in taking ownership our health and making better food choices. In DRESSING ON THE SIDE, Jaclyn London--the Nutrition Director of Good Housekeeping--debunks the diet myths and mental blocks that keep you from reaching your health and weight-loss goals. Filled with accessible information, simple strategies, and practical application of scientific research, London empowers us to form life-long habits that result in real, long-lasting change-- while meeting the demands of our busier-than-ever lifestyles. DRESSING ON THE SIDE is the anti-diet book that will completely transform the way you think (and speak!) about food and health-- and help you lose weight for good.
