Highly Commended in the British Medical Association book awards 2011!! Lifestyle Medicine 2nd Edition is the essential book for contemporary times.

Inactivity, poor and over-nutrition, smoking, drug and alcohol abuse, inappropriate medication, stress, unsafe sexual behaviour, inadequate sleep, risk-taking and environmental exposure (for example, sun, chemicals and the built environment) are significant modern causes of disease. New and adaptive approaches to health management are needed to deal with these complex factors. Lifestyle Medicine 2e provides these tools to enable clinicians to successfully manage patients in our current environment.

Leading nutritionist and weight loss expert Professor Garry Egger s new initiative is Professor Trim's Quick Start Weight Loss Program, a medically supervised, 'slow but steady' approach to losing weight and improving the health of men, women and children everywhere.
In this volume, Garry Egger has gathered together many of the lessons he has learned through working in the health and fitness field for over 25 years, and presents them in the practical, no-nonsense form which is the hallmark of his writing and teaching. Topics covered include how men and women are two different species when it comes to weight control; that your life-long battle against weight may be causing the very problem you are fighting; that your environment can be a waist hazard; and the correct balance between diet and exercise. Egger also explores which weight control products work and which ones are rip-offs, grounding this and his other tips in scientific research.
Professor Trim's Medically Supervised Weight-Loss Program is a revolution in diet management devised by obesity and lifestyle expert Dr Garry Egger. This collection of recipes and cooking tips is designed to complement the program, with a smattering of cartoons to lighten the load even further.

This new weight loss initiative from Garry Egger - the force behind the hugely successful GutBuster program - is Professor Trim's Quick Start Weight Loss Program, a medically supervised, 'slow but steady' approach to losing weight and improving the health of men, women and children everywhere.
Garry Egger has developed a series of weight loss and maintenance programmes designed to be undertaken over the course of 12 months, under medical supervision. This programme focuses on those whose weight problems are diabetes-related and provides a balanced, medically-supervised approach.

The text reviews all the available literature in the field to offer a resource for those dealing professionally or personally with obesity.
This is the third book in Garry Egger's new series of books based on his 'Professor Trim's Medically Supervised Weight Loss Program', a unique medically-based program being endorsed by GPs throughout Australia. In the same vein as Garry Egger and Rosemary Stanton's previously published fat and fibre counters, The Ultimate Energy Guide will provide a comprehensive listing of hundreds of Australian food products broken down by 'energy density', the hottest new topic in weight control research. Regulating the energy density of food that is consumed has begun to supersede previous medical arguments about fat or carbohydrate content as the pivotal factor in weight loss. This will be a quick reference listing which can be used in conjunction with the Becoming Gutless or Becoming Slim weight loss books for men and women respectively.

Obesity is 'collateral damage in the battle for modernity'. It's an unintended but unavoidable consequence of economic progress. Obesity is not a disease but a signal. It's the canary in the coalmine, which should alert us to bigger structural problems in society. There are a number of areas where humans have achieved a peak of success, a sweet spot, but now that very success is turning on us and threatening to unravel centuries of achievement. On the one hand, economic growth has over centuries led to a steadily improving standard of living, better levels of health and ever increasing life spans. On the other hand, this very affluence is the reason that both our bodies and the planet have gone into a downward spiral, manifested by an ever growing epidemic of obesity in humans, and in a world clogged by greenhouse gasses and waste. Our bodies can no longer cope with the excess of over consumption to which we are encouraged at every turn, and the planet is labouring under the effect of industrialisation and greenhouse gas emissions which are surely exacerbating and possibly causing a level of climate change which is ultimately unsustainable. A fundamental change in thinking is needed both for how we treat our bodies and for our approach to the planet. Each is the only one we have.

Over 50 per cent of the Australian population is now classified as overweight or obese: this handbook is for all those involved in training, teaching and leading classes in weight control and fitness. The health and fitness industries have failed to cater for the ordinary person who doesn't crave elite, competitive status. Scientific evidence is increasingly showing that much of the prevailing information on the subject has in fact been information - dieting, for example is now known to be a major cause of overweight in many instances.
