Drop The Fat Act & Live Lean by dietitian Ryan Andrews, offers a no holds barred, straight-forward reality check that offers the key to change. Instead of feel-good weight loss programs, Andrews uses truthful humor to explain how people sabotage being healthy and hinder their own goals. "Fattitudes" are routines, dietary choices, and belief systems—often favored by overweight individuals—that add more body fat, less muscle, and more risk for disease. Using the opposites approach to behavioral learning, readers quickly realize exactly what not to do if they wish to lose weight. Misconceptions are replaced with a new set of weight management skills that include the basic fundamentals of healthy nutrition. Eating whole foods or processed foods, animal- or plant-based diets as well as the speed they're consumed are shown to make a difference. Readers will be humorously convinced that the ability to make good decisions on everyday choices is the real formula to weight-loss success.
