Between the low-fat devotees and the high-protein zealots, everyone in America thinks they know the best way to take off the pounds. Meanwhile, our obesity rate is at 33 percent and still climbing. Yet in France the obesity rate has remained steady at eight percent. The French also boast much lower rates of heart disease and stroke, despite all the high-fat foods that are at the cornerstone of their diet. What are we doing wrong? The Fat Fallacy, which has sold more than 6,000 copies in a self-published hardcover edition, explains precisely why low-fat living can sabotage our weight-loss efforts. America's problem is not the fat or the carbs--it's the highly processed "fake" and "fat-free" foods laden with artificial ingredients. The French don't consume things like Snack-Wells or Diet Snapple. Instead, they eat fresh bread, meats, butter, vegetables, and cheeses, plus a little dessert--foods that are sometimes decadent but always satisfying. By adopting the habits of the French, Americans can finally follow a sensible diet that they can really live with. This book will help dieters melt the pounds away while eating better than they could imagine!
