The Naked Truth to Diet Failure
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
There are very few books that I recommend that you should read to help you with your health, fitness, and weight loss goals. Most of the books I recommend are rarely best seller’s. One of the reasons for this, is that most best seller’s are quick-fix, misinformational, and one-dimensional literary works driven more by greed than passion.
Simarly, you can the same about most of the food and pharmaceutical drugs that are on the market promising to help you lose weight and feel better.
On my radio show, Fitness Mythbuster (myth topic “All Diets Work and Labels Never Lie”), I had the pleasure of interviewing the author of Diet Failure… the Naked Truth. Her name is Phoenix Gilman. After years of working as a fitness professional, she went on a research quest of four years to get the bottom of why diets fail.
In her book and on my show, she explained why 98% of all diets fail and how they actually can be a part of the obesity problem. Being a fitness professional myself, I have learned a lot about the role of serotonin and insulin in the body. Beautifully, Phoenix emplains it in simplistic form.
She also discussed a lot about the deception of the diet, weight loss, and food industry. The truth of it is, that nearly everything you hear that is sugar-free, helps you lose weight, or is suppose to make you feel good is a big fat lie. If you think the government or special organizations are protecting you, then you would be sadly mistaken.
The whole point of the book is to empower you to give you the knowledge you need to help control your life. It is not about profit, but it is about passion and inspiration. It is for this reason I highly recommend you read it. Though it probably never will be a best-seller, it is books like this one that more and more people in this country need to read. You can get a autographed copy of book by going directly to her website www.DietFailureTheNakedTruth.com.
