Book excerpt: In The Super Health Diet, Craichy provides readers with a comprehensive evaluation of the diet industry, tracing its history as well as evaluating the major health clubs, popular diet plans, weight loss books, spas, clinics, as well as the pills, prescriptions, and procedures being used today. He demonstrates how it leaves people with the dilemma of what might work for them and shows how often the goals and products being promoted in the diet industry are out of sync with the medical-nutritional ideals and principles of good health.
