Publisher's Summary

If you’re frustrated with weight or health issues, there’s a high probability you’re suffering from malnutrition--the result of consuming our modern diet of highly processed, nutrient-void foods. Most people get lots of calories, but they’re empty calories, and at the cellular level--where it really matters--they’re virtually starving, which means the only possible result is obesity, weight gain (they’re not the same thing), premature aging, cognitive decline, lethargy, and disease.

It may surprise you to know that millions of so-called “skinny” people are just as likely to be obese as people who are so-called “overweight” because, despite what we’ve been told, obesity is not a weight issue, it’s a health issue, and it’s resulting in the greatest health crises we’ve ever faced.

Obesity examines the culprit, the cause, and the cure of our global obesity epidemic. When you understand the real cause and cure, you’ll discover how you can slow the process of aging, lose excess fat, increase your energy level dramatically, and maximize your overall health. You can do all that without drugs, dieting, counting calories, or food restriction.

Food should be one of our greatest pleasures; it’s the foundation upon which our health--in all its forms--is built. You will discover how a properly nourished body will automatically shed excess fat and quickly maximize your health and vitality.

The cure will show you how to do just that.

Critic Reviews

"In this straightforward, eye-opening guide to eating healthy, Fast offers an informative and honest exploration of rising obesity rates—and what can be done about it.... Obesity is a no-nonsense exploration into food, health, and the human relationship with it. Obesity showcases steps to becoming healthy through eating high-nutrient foods and changing the way one views what one eats. This is a helpful guide for anyone in need of a health overhaul or those interested in well-researched food studies and how it pertains to weight gain." (BookLife Reviews)

"Writing with a thriller’s 'what happens next' flair, Fast pulls in the reader, starting with the first packaged breakfast cereals, which replaced the eggs/bacon/porridge of decades ago. Avoiding a dry recitation of medical studies, Fast makes his point with easy-to-understand research and anecdotes. Attractively illustrated and clearly expressed, the author builds to an indictment of processed foods and the Big Food industry." (BlueInk Review)

"...it is true that there are no perfect books and that weight loss as a concept is not the most complicated thing in the world, but part of this book’s appeal is the fact that it shows the entire journey to the reader. While is true that it is up to every single person to make a change in their lives, this book is a very strong companion in that particular experience, and the author definitely knows what he is talking about. A very good book and one that, hopefully, gets the attention it deserves because it has a lot to offer to the general public." (Book Nerdiction Review)
