Want to pack on some extra pounds this summer? There’s a sure way to do it and that’s to carefully follow the advice of experts purporting to tell you how to lose weight! That’s right. Physician, lawyer and fitness authority Michael Applebaum, M.D., J.D., will explain that the most popular weight loss “gurus” are actually better at helping people get fatter than thinner.

P.T. Barnum Was Right:
Suckers Are Born Every Minute

Want proof? Just look at Oprah, who NOW blames her thyroid and “billionaire’s depression” for “making her ass fat” instead of her hand-picked diet experts whose advice she has followed for YEARS. Dr. Applebaum will explain the honest-to-goodness truth you won’t hear anywhere else.

You’ll learn:

• Why exercise will not help you lose weight and gym class does not reduce kids’ body mass indexes.

• You don’t need to make lifestyle changes to shed pounds.

• There are no healthy foods.

• Most diet books make great doorstops—but are otherwise useless.

• What losing weight REALLY involves.
