Publisher's summary

Although the shelves of bookshops groan with diet books, this one is called, mysteriously, The Only Diet. The excuse that Nathaniel Blix gives for claiming this name is that, really, there is only one diet. While other diet books dress up this basic regime in huge variety of ways, what they all aim for-or should aim for-is the same thing, and that's a healthy diet that's right for you. This entertaining little book strips such fancy programmes down to their bare essentials to reveal the basic diet beneath. Blix has removed all the prescriptive stuff about what you should eat for lunch and how many baked beans you can have for your dinner. A diet has to work for you, he says, not for some non-existent average citizen. The Only Diet is surely the most down-to-earth diet book on Earth. It doesn't contain any recipes and it uses only one technical term. Drawing from his own experience-he confesses to being a serial dieter-Blix knows how difficult it is to lose weight. In this book, he makes it easier for everyone to understand how their bodies work and the principles of weight loss. Armed with this knowledge and the zeal that Blix inspires, listeners of The Only Diet are well placed to achieve weight-loss and healthy-living success.
