Getting thin: All about fat--how you get it, how you lose it, how you keep it off for good

by Gabe Mirkin

"In an engrossing presentation, Mirkin states that overweight should be determined not by pounds weighed, but by measurement of total body fat. He provides a sane diet and exercise plan for losing body fat. He recommends a 1300 calorie diet moderate in complex carbohydrates, low in protein, fat and salt." --Library Journal "Mirkin does a commendable, sensible job here teaching readers about metabolism, different kinds of fat, how your body tells you when it's full, and whether certain people are born to fat." --The Atlanta Journal & Atlanta Constitution
