| New Website: GetFedUp.com - Ever Wonder Why Diets Don't Work? |
Do you try diet after diet without success? Do you fear that you'll never be able to achieve a healthy, attractive body weight? Do you "rebound" after each diet or make mental lists of "acceptable" and "unacceptable" foods to eat, yet find that you keep gaining weight? Are you exhausted with trying to control your weight? Or, have you simply given up?
If you answered yes, to any of these questions, go to GetFedUp.com, the official website for Dr. Wendy Oliver-Pyatt's new book FED UP!, which is due in stores in October 2002.
