"It is my pleasure to write the foreword to this latest book by Kerry and Rowena McEvoy. Having studied and researched in the exercise science field for some 20 years now, I am still constantly amazed at the misinformation, anecdotes, and sometimes outright lies that proliferate the exercise and health professions. This book cuts through all the mystery and myth, debunks the fallacies and simply presents the facts.

Supported by science yet explained for the non -scientist, the entertaining style filled with important lifestyle knowledge and witty conversation will help you to get at the heart of weight control. Most importantly, I hope that this book will help you to avoid the potions, fad diets, worthless exercise devices and misguided programs that essentially set you up for failure.

These “quick and easy” remedies do not address the emotional and behavioural reasons why you eat more and exercise less. Kerry and Rowena have amassed an extensive amount of knowledge and experience between them. They are innovative leaders in the fitness and health industry and they want to help the disillusioned among us who fight to control weight.

Just reading this book is not enough to lose weight, but it will motivate you into action, and provide the path of least resistance to significant and long term weight control. "
