Anne Diamond is set to become the Anita Roddick of the diet industry. She is campaigning for radical changes in the way food, diet and 'health' products are marketed and wants to raise awareness of the trails and pitfalls associated with the broad range of so-called weight-loss solutions. She will change forever the way that we view our bodies and lays bare the tyranny of market factors - both nationally and worldwide.
In Size she explains clearly the psychology of dieting, the traits of the addictive personality, and the need for a conscious change in the way we view body shape and body image in society. She provides clear, positive and proven practical steps that can be taken to prevent obesity and reclaim health for ourselves and our children - and provides a cal for action that will release us from the global obesity epidemic.
