Where mainstream nutritional science has demonised dietary fat for 50 years, hundreds of millions of dollars of research have failed to prove that eating a low-fat diet will help you live longer. Nutrition and obesity scientists have struggled to make sense of the paradox that obesity has become an epidemic, that diabetes rates have soared and the incidence of heart disease has not declined despite the fact that society is more diet and health aware today than generations ago. The Diet Delusion is an in-depth, scientific, groundbreaking examination of what actually happens in your body as a result of what you eat, rather than what the diet industry might have you believe happens and is essential reading for anyone trying to decide which diet – low-fat or low-carbohydrate – is truly the healthy diet. For years we have been deluded by the dieting industry. Now it’s time to find out the truth.

This ground-breaking book explains in fascinating but simple terms why most dieters fail at, or actually sabotage, their weight loss plans. Three key reasons are: 1) A deep love of food; 2) Rebelling against excessive deprivation; 3) There are benefits to being overweight. The question is not What to eat? Overweight people know what they should eat! The real questions are the ‘Whys’: Why don’t we eat what we should? Why do we eat what we shouldn’t? Why do we sabotage our healthy eating plans? It’s not that people fail diets, it’s that diets fail people. And parents are failing their children – one of the greatest gifts we can give them is the habit of healthy eating so that as adults this comes naturally. Dr Blair-West is a Life Fellow of the Obesity Prevention & Treatment Society and was invited to present at the International Congress on Obesity. Trained as a Medical Doctor and as a Psychiatrist, he is uniquely qualified to help you end the ‘go on a diet, lose weight, then gain it all back again plus more’ cycle. This is not another ‘diet book’ – there are no menus, calorie charts or exercise programs – but it is a book you must read before you try to lose weight again. By calling on the latest research, Dr Blair-West’s clinical experience, the ‘French Paradox’ and even Zen mindfulness, he will share the secrets of keeping the weight off.
