Diet and Nutrition: Weight Loss and Dieting in America

By: Smith, Kaelyn

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.

Weight, dieting, fitness and health are front and center in the american consciousness. Ironically, despite our preoccupation with health and fitness, obesity rates continue to rise as does the prevalence of eating disorders. This book looks at the evolution of dieting in America: the main types of diets and the most commonly used diets. Additionally, nutrition and the FDA's nutritional guidelines and food pyramid are discussed.
