Sara Gilbert attacks the notion of overnight success in dieting in this informative book. Most diets, she argues, don’t work, and those that do owe their success more to the way in which the diet is administered and the attitude and past experience of the dieter than to the nutritional content of the diet. The Psychology of Dieting challenges the attitudes that connect slimness to happiness.
