they want. The industry is too damn negative, and the plans you’re given are too damn complicated. Consider this his word of caution: that combination is doing far more harm than you realize, and walking away from it can be one of the healthiest decisions you make.

#33: Disrupting The Diet Book Industry
There's a disturbing trend that we need to fix. Diet books are supposed to help people, but the more diets we share, the more people seem to become frustrated and gain weight. Today, more than 40 percent of men and 65 percent of women are on multiple diets per year. Despite that, nearly 75 percent of the United States is overweight or obese, and more people are gaining weight around the globe for the last three decades. There are many issues that lead to weight gain, but diet book that push you towards extremes and force you to stress about BS are a big part of the problem. Arnold is here to suggest a different approach, and why a new book by Adam Bornstein called "You Can't Screw This Up" is how we can take a different approach to nutrition, disrupt the diet book industry, and support healthier habits.
