Description of Big Fat Lies |
Scientific studies show that the proportion of men and women classed as obese has risen steeply in recent years. However, there has been no particular increase in the number of people who are overweight, and calorie intake has generally decreased. So we are eating less but obesity has increased. What's going on?
Diet lawyer Hannah Sutter exposes lies, misinformation and distortion in the basic health guidelines promoted by the
government, the NHS, the Food Standards Agency and other esteemed 'expert' authorities. From the calorie counting
and exercise myths to the food pyramid, ketosis and BMI misinformation, Sutter uncovers a series of highly disturbing
fictions that underpin government health policy throughout the world.
- Big fat lies is not a diet book. In the spirit of Fast food nation, Flat Earth News and No Logo, this polemic book is a
startling expos of the continued misleading information the government promotes on nutrition and dieting.
- Exposes key health committee members as the wrong kind of experts.
- Broad and inclusive range of scientific studies used to show how the government has omitted key weight loss information from its message.
- Exposes 'eat less, do more' as a weight loss myth – good news for anyone who hates the gym or dislikes being hungry.
- Simplifies food rather than complicating it as diet books do – no calorie counting, no calculating carbohydrate content.
- Backed by recognised scientists and medical experts.

About Hannah Sutter |
Hannah Sutter (Edinburgh) reached the very top of the legal pile after a seventeen year career in the City as a corporate lawyer. She became one of the very few women to achieve full equity in corporate law in a large global law firm. She led a successful challenge to assumed trademark law which has now ensured that selling a real name as a trademark is enforceable and valid. Her relentless pursuit of the truth saved her clients staggering sums of money.
Hannah's switch to nutrition was fuelled by this passion for integrity of argument and proposition. She watched two fat men getting thin in a way that was simply incompatible with the dietary advice of the ‘experts’, and was compelled to apply her formidable forensic skills to discovering why. Big fat lies is a devastating exposé of the billion dollar global diet industry, the government agencies that sponsor it and the experts who legitimise it.
