ENCYCLOPEDIA OF DIET FADS
Marjolijn Bijlefeld and Sharon K. Zoumbaris
Americans have long obsessed about their diets. For 200 years, diet
fads have come and gone, sometimes reappearing under different

of its safety or efficiency. By the time reliable information comes to light,

The Encyclopedia of Diet Fads describes many of the health fads and

who are experiencing the highest rates of obesity in history.

who are experiencing the highest rates of obesity in history.
This volume introduces a wide variety of weight-loss methods. Entries
describe particular diets, support groups and services, or people who
have changed the way Americans eat. An extensive appendix on weight-
loss resources helps readers choose the most nutritionally sound
program for their needs. Above all, this encyclopedia stresses nutrition-
ally sound approaches, rather than a "quick fix." As the authors empha-
size, weight loss is merely one component of healthy living.
