Price range: $3.99 through $12.99Advances in Overcoming Obesity: Is There a Future for Bariatric Surgery? by retired surgeon Tom Taylor comprehensively addresses many of the causes, complications, and treatments of obesity for the lay public.
Despite billions of dollars per year being spent on diets, weight-reducing products, and techniques, few understand the fundamental nature of the problem, its complications, or the strategies available to overcome obesity. These challenges may recently have been radically changed with the emergence of new effective medications, not only for obesity, but for diabetes and other related health problems.
Dr. Taylor tackles the issues of energy intake and expenditure, while describing in detail the most popular diets, such as the South Beach Diet and Weight Watchers. He also explores the psychological and physical constraints of losing weight, related socio-economic factors, and the different types of surgical treatments and their possible effects, outcomes, and complications.
Although large amounts of weight can be lost following surgical treatment, for the first time ever, a group of drugs is now available that has been shown to also provide large weight loss, thereby presenting a challenge to surgical treatments.

Honoring Holistic Health Habits: Down to Dealing with Deadly Diets
Price range: $3.99 through $13.99Honoring Holistic Health Habits discusses the major killer health risks in today’s society, as well as how these threats can be significantly reduced by lifestyle modification in diet and exercise.
Heart disease, stroke, obesity, diabetes, cancer, vascular disease, and Alzheimer’s are all exacerbated by eating an unhealthy diet. Plus, these diseases have all dramatically increased over the past century as a result of dietary changes.
The nature of these diseases along with the adjustments necessary to overcome them are important. Issues involve underlying energy intake and expenditure, toxicity, and the unhealthy modifications in modern diet that have brought on these health problems.
Today’s diets contain unhealthy fats and toxic proteins loaded with excess carbohydrates, the latter being the major cause of weight gain and diabetes. Taken in excess, these are the major killers, which for the first time in centuries are causing a reduction in life expectancy.
These conclusions come from the author’s lifelong medical practice treating these disorders.
Dr. Tom Taylor believes it is vital to fight the major killers that are the biggest threats to long life, and to understand the ways in which these can be reduced or deferred, thereby improving our lifestyle.
