For larger women who may want to be thinner but don't know how to achieve it, whose own experiences have shown them that diets do not work. This book examines the issue of health and weight and extrapolates the truth from the numerous claims that fatness, or thinness, is best. It demolishes false claims on both sides from a basis of scientific research. The book also takes an analytical look at all methods of weight loss and their efficacy and offers a way out to those women who find their body fat is a prison. The author concludes that if you are happy being fat then your well-being and health should be optimized, and if you're unhappy then you do not have to stay fat.
