Fed Up!: The Breakthrough Ten-Step, No-Diet Fitness Plan by Wendy Oliver-Pyatt, is a book about dieting and is not actually a diet plan. In it the author explains that dieting may be the cause of certain health conditions and not the solution to weight problems. She believes that “people should accept a more realistic individual weight” saying happiness and success should not be dependent on physical appearance.
In a society where being thin is celebrated yet the people are growing fatter by the day, it is unsurprising that the market is overflowing with are hundreds of weight loss books, products and diet plans.

Therefore, it is of utmost importance that dieters find a plan that not only works but works for life. In this review, we shall be taking a look at this book to find out whether it has something beneficial to offer dieters and if it actually works.

This book basically tells dieters to just give up on dieting. The author says that“dieting wreaks havoc on the mind, body and soul” and explains how diets can lead to weight gain and other diseases including eating disorders.
Fed Up! presents the dieting behavior from a sociological standpoint such as thinness being the standard of beauty to the types of diet plans available on the market. |

This book may be of help to dieters who need inspiration and a fresh perspective on weight loss. It may even breathe new life into the weight reduction efforts of people who are sick of following a strict calorie-counting diet. The author’s goal is not to slim down readers put to help them change their relationship with food and accept the kind of body they have regardless of its shape or size.
However, this kind of advice may not be for everyone. Although a lot of people have the tools to lose weight, many struggle with appetite control. In such cases, an appetite suppressant may be of great help. |

Final Thoughts
|
|
Overall, we appreciate this book for offering readers a new perspective on dieting and health and body image which may be the inspiration some people need to continue in their weight loss efforts. We especially like the fact the chapter which deals with the problem of obesity in children, particularly the tips to help prevent this from occurring. However, as with any diet plan, this may not be ideal for everyone.
Some people would probably do better eating healthy and maintaining a regular exercise routine. To maximize weight loss while on a complete program such as this one, a supplement that increases energy levels and suppresses the appetite may be necessary. We suggest finding a product with a formula that combines the powerful herbal appetite suppressant Hoodia, combined with the patented fat burner Advantra-Z®
