    I am writing a review of the set of instructions that describes how to lose weight safely.

    The concluding chapter of a book-length study of dieting, written by Hillel Schwartz continuously discusses the issue of the "fat society".

  • Dr Atkins Diet
    2,108 words
    Proper nutrition and dieting has been quite a controversial topic over the past century. In the past couple decades an enormous amount of effort has been put forth toward infomercials for various products guaranteed to make people lose weight.

  • High Fat Content Food With Lower Fat

    We have all heard the claims, seen the advertisements and probably tried one, two or them. What are they? Diets.
