Synopsis This book on obesity has been written in a very different way-not those typical "Textbook type"-which preaches high and mighty things. This book has been written not in the usual format of "cause-effect-treatment". When we are in the house we get to eat only what is the kitchen but when we go to a cafeteria, we can get whatever we want, and of there is also the advantage of self-service. This book has been written in a cafeteria approach. Whatever one wants one can have it. Though the initial chapters briefly delineate the definitions, causes, ways to tackle obesity, once the discussion shifts to diet, exercise, research findings and special cases (pregnancy or childhood overweight) the approach is reader friendly or interactive. Illustration of pictures; snippets from fairy tales, mythology; album on obesity, have all been added to generate interest, curiosity, of awareness among readers. Students, children, common man, doctors or housewives-everybody will have something of his interest in this book.
