Rezensionen

“…this title examines common misconceptions that can sabotage a weight-loss program. Going into greater scientific detail than Neoporent and Schlosberg in explaining diet myths, Rippe (medicine, Tufts Univ. Sch. Of Medicine) also incorporates many of the Weight Watchers(r) principles into his comments. (from the Diet/Fitness roundup by Susan Hagloch) (Library Journal, January 15, 2005)
