The back cover says: "This widely praised, sensible approach to weight control contends that no matter what diet diet you try, it is doomed to fail because your body has a certain "setpoint"--a level of fatness that's biologically natural for you. While no diet can alter a setpoint, exercise may be able to lower it and help you keep lost weight off."

Marcia Millman said: "Dismantles the myths and misconceptions of obesity...thoughtful and comprehensive."
