Editorial Review:
Atkins works! Eat grapefruit -- shed weight! Pilates gives you "long, lean muscles -- no bulk!" Each day we are bombarded with conflicting fitness information, promises, and advice -- from the Internet, magazines, books, TV, advertising, experts, trainers, coaches, friends. But how do you know whom you can trust?In The Fat-Free Truth, Liz Neporent and Suzanne Schlosberg cut through the noise, synthesize the literature, and get to the truth by providing 239 accurate, straight-shooting answers to America's most pressing fitness and weight-loss questions. No one understands the excess of misinformation out there better than Liz and Suzanne. For ten years, Suzanne has written Shape's "Weight Loss Q&A," the most popular column in the country's largest fitness magazine. Liz fields weekly questions as the "Fit by Friday" columnist for iVillage, the leading Internet site for women's issues. Together they receive more than a thousand questions a month from people nationwide.
Frank, funny, and endlessly informative, The Fat-Free Truth assembles in one place everything you really need to know to get fit and stay fit -- and to keep your sanity while doing so.

Rating:  - The best book I ve read yet on weight loss
This book compares all the programs and all the different exercise routines and uses actual tests of the diets and excercise programs for evaluation. It is cross referenced, so the reader can check the facts for themselves. I have learned more from this book than any of the other weight loss and diet books I have ever read. The great part is they are not pushing some particular program, just giving you the facts about all the programs. To top it all off, I bought the book for 2 cents used from Amazon. ... Read More
Rating:  - The Fat-Free Truth
I enjoyed this book greatly. It has a variety (135) different questions with short and to-the-point answers. I was rather impressed. I would feel better if one of the authors was an M.D. or a R.D., however the answers are still accurate.
A really good read!
Rating: - cuts through all the BS
i have high praise for this book, and was impressed by its research, distillation of the facts, easy to read format, and simplicity. the way that every question had a short answer and then a visual break before launching into the science/reporting behind it makes it inexcusable for anyone to not digest or understand what is presented, b/c it was so easy to read, clear, & to the point.
this book is a treasure for everyone to find, as it eliminates the confusion and restores reality to the ... Read More
Rating: - great info in a useful format
At first I wanted to see a review before I bought this book. Then I decided I was really curious about the information and since the book was published this year I wanted to see the most current information on fitness topics. I have been using the workout log by one of the authors for two years so I decided to go ahead and buy it. I'm glad I did, the book is full of good information in an easy to read format. I think it's like fitness 201 - it's more than just the basics but it's not over the top and ... Read More
