Welcome to Tomorrow's Weigh: The No-Diet Way to Lose Weight, Second Edition

Your Healthier Tomorrow with Tomorrow's Weigh

The No-Diet Way To Lose Weight

What This Book Is NOT

This is not a book about dieting. It’s about starvation.

Starvation is a strange phenomenon to feature so prominently in the 21st century in the wealthiest nation on the planet, but there is no other word for the culture of weight consciousness and weight loss that pervades every corner of our daily lives.

Starvation is the silent culprit. It’s the skeletal models defining our concepts of beauty in magazines, movies, and media. It’s the fat-free, carb-free, keto, zero-calorie choices on the supermarket shelves. It’s the rise in eating disorders among pre-pubescent children and the increase of diabetes and pre-diabetes in our adolescents.

Book Shelf

What This Book Is NOT

There are hundreds of diet books on the self-help shelves of every brick-and-mortar bookstore or bookselling website. The American weight-loss industry grosses $71 billion in revenue every year. Forty-nine percent of adults report being on a diet the previous year. And all the while, the percentage of adults who are overweight or obese continues to increase (currently at 73%). Even our children are not immune from this trend: 41% of them fall into one of these two categories as well. These statistics cost a fortune in obesity-related health care and broken, despairing lives. And it’s getting worse, not better.

This is not a coincidence. There is no logical way that using words like “sinful” to talk about eating certain foods, idolizing ultra-thin images, and applauding fat-to-thin celebrity stories the way our grandparents glorified rags-to-riches tales could not be related to the fact that we are growing increasingly obese. We are getting fatter, not despite the fact that we are encouraged to eat less, but because of it.

Americans are starving themselves, dieting more, yet still weighing more. We have indeed become a “starvation nation.

Colorful Books

What This Book Is

So, if this is not a self-help diet book, what is it? It’s a concise, readable look at the shocking news that our very attitudes, social mores, popular culture, and even misdirected aspects of our increasing attention to health are sabotaging our hopes and dreams of living fit, energetic lifestyles. Whole segments of our population have forced themselves into at-risk eating behaviors, setting up situations where even dieters with the  best-intentions are doomed to failure.
