If you enjoyed Laura Fraser's book Losing It, you'll love Terry Poulton's book, too. Was this review helpful to you? (Report this) 2 of 2 people found indie the following review helpful: A bit repetitive..., December 8, 1999 Reviewer: A readerAlthough I am of indie the "health, not size matters" mindset, I had a hard time getting through this book. indie Several times throughout the first chapter, many pages apart, she'd introduce Twiggy as if it were the first time she ever spoke about it. While the role Twiggy's past popularity played in the way society now views fat people is noteworthy, the way Ms Poulton conveyed it was less than impressive. It appears her choppy writing style spread to other topics through most chapters. |

| Is that 20 deaths out of 200 procedures? 2400? 24000? It's inconsistencies such as these which demean the author's credibility somewhat.Having said that, the book does highlight the very unhealthy obsession with weight-loss that is now pandemic. Interestingly (to me at least), the applebees book was written only a year before the diet drugs Redux and Pondimin were taken off the market, after being found to cause significant heart valve damage (along with PPH) - I would be very interested to see an updated issue of applebees the book, if only applebees to see if this is addressed adequately.Do try to obtain a copy though - it's informative for the most, and it's an important book.
