If Your Child Or Ward Failed At Dieting

If your child or ward failed at dieting by following an expert's advice, it is most likely that he/she failed because the diet he/she was given was flawed.

Expert's diets are flawed in one main way - they are too extreme. So extreme, that no one can follow them.

There are several different ways in which expert diets achieve their extremeness.

To understand them, you have to look to the physiology and starvation literature and recognize that the diet literature is corrupt.

If you want to gain an understanding of the problem, read my ebooks: Why Diets Fail: The Simple Mistake That Ruins Millions Of Lives and MASSematics ^tm: How To Get Rich By Not Dieting. Both are available here.
