I can totally understand how that bo...Hi Genevieve,<br />I can totally understand how that book would not be of interest to you or me for that matter. Rick recommended a book to me called 'Health At Every Size' by Linda Bacon. I just ordered it from his website. I went to Dymock's bookstore only to be told it's out of print in Aust./USA/UK. so was thankful Rick has some copies. Must admit I haven't started to read it yet but have thumbed through it and it looks pretty comprehensive. I also checked out her websites. <br /><br />As for magazines, about the only one I read any more is 'Diabetic Living'. I'm not a diabetic myself but I find the recipes to be very healthy and varied. Also the articles written in it are pretty sensible too. <br /><br />It seems to me, as a generalisation, that people today are always in a hurry - to loose weight, get fit, drive somewhere, etc. etc. I know the pace of life is faster than it was but I think we put ourselves under so much pressure to achieve everything NOW that it takes it's toll on our general health. And to promote instant weight loss or instant flat stomaches is sending the wrong messages. Like you said Genevieve, it would be nice to have some emphasis on behavioural change for the longterm.<br /><br />Cheers, JanelleStripey Froghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03913096873630632160noreply@blogger.com
