Please title this page. The above entitled obesity book is one of them authored by Michael D. LeBow and is worth your investment if you are going to specialize in working with the obese. It was published in 1989. What is nice about these books is that they are written for the practitioner and are usually filled with very helpful information.
Television advertises weight-loss miracle devices as well.
Indeed, weight-control hucksterism is rampant, for today reducing gimmicks and stratagems are everywhere. The weight-loss industry in the United states alone gets billions of the public's dollars annually. Nonsense reigns supreme. They view society as loudly anti-fat, and they feel that treating obesity expresses this antipathy more than it successfully eradicates a malignant condition. So here we are in Modern America.
