About the Book
Diet X is a refreshingly new book that concerns itself not just w/ healthy eating & sensible weight loss but the wider issues associated w/ what happens to your body if you remain overweight, eat a poor diet & do little exercise. These factors don’t just affect those that are overweight, because being slender is no guarantee of a healthy & long life.
Diet X will challenge the much peddled view that eating breakfast is the most important meal of the day & the assertion you should eat frequently to combat hunger. It will impart to you not only what the true healthy foods are but why & includes an appraisal of probiotic & healthy heart foods.
Diet X explains succinctly why having a wider choice of food actually makes us eat more. It explains exactly what happens when you go on a diet & how it protects itself if you believe that your body burns muscle tissue during food restriction as part of some starvation mode.
Diet X outlines the linkage between a nutritionally poor diet & the risk of cancer & explains in simple terms how this process can occur when you make certain food choices over many years.
Diet X takes you on a short journey through our evolutionary past & will impart to you why the foods you eat can affect your future health in years to come. You're taken through the ordinary lives of a group of people as they play out their everyday life. You will see how their lifestyles impact upon their quality of life & well-being as they hit their mid years & beyond.
Diet X was researched & written by a biologist who discovered his diet & lifestyle was making him tired, fatigued, overweight & just generally worn out.
With a fascination for anything biological, & discovering how overweight he was, Paul has put together an interesting & informative look at the bigger picture of being overweight. The content is presented in an easy to understand language through the eyes of a dieter who managed to shed over 60 pounds in body weight & now knows how to keep it off.
