Excerpt: New Book Marks End of Atkins

I have permission from Cypress House to distribute an
excerpt from the new book, "Survival of the Thinnest," by
David Hariton. This book could be the eight ounces that
tips the scale against Atkins, a diet the author argues is
doomed to fail.

In fact, all diets are doomed, according to Hariton, because
they fight our genetic script. Hariton's book is based on
meticulous research of the medical literature regarding
diet, exercise, and genetics. It also contains an ingredient
missing from almost all diet books: common sense. In our diet-
obsessed culture, however, the conclusion Hariton comes to
sounds radical: It doesn't matter what you eat -- or how
much -- as long as you practice a specific 30-minute routine
every day.

Hariton's book has been endorsed by John E. Sarno, M.D.,
author of "Healing Back Pain"; Jason Kirkman, M.D., Medical
Director of the Cardiopulmonary Department at Mendocino
Coast District Hospital; and nutritional expert Ruth Carey,
R.D., L.D., among other medical professionals.

The excerpt I am distributing, called "Fitting Into Your
Genes," explains why we get fat, and why dieting is
incapable of providing a meaningful weight-loss solution. To
get the excerpt, send mailto:excerptsnews@bellsouth.net with
the subject line "Send Thinnest" and I will reply with the
text -- and *only* the text -- no file attachments or opt-in
mailing list jive. Thanks.
