Australians live in an increasingly self-conscious society, one in which we are surrounded by glossy media and advertising images of beautiful people. The pressure for young people to go on fad diets is a challenge to healthy eating habits. This book looks at dieting issues and examines the effectiveness and health problems of some of the most popular approaches to dieting, and how to choose the right balance of diet and exercise. It also gives advice and information on eating disorders and how to seek support/treatment.
