Health and Nutrition

There’s no shortage of Weight Loss Information Books, from chic and trendy programs to scholastic tomes. The academic books, written by people with degrees in nutrition, contain accurate information. The trendy books ñ ones that read, ‘The (insert now-household name) Diet’ would not have become household names if they didn’t work for some people. Therein lies the rub. What if you’re not one of those people? You might even have tried one of these in the past and found it did not work, even though your neighbor lost 20 pounds with that method. This type of weight loss information carries its own caveat, that being that it might not work, although the theory and science is credible.

Then there are the so-called ‘miracle’ diets and pills. Some are plain snake oil remedies, which don’t work for anyone. Others employ herbs like ephedra or hoodia, which, while they work, can be super dangerous to your health, used improperly.
