Book Review..."Fit or Fat" by Covert Bailey
Fit or Fat is a book which brings the reader an understanding, rather than a fad, regarding weight control, fat loss and exercise. Covert Bailey's simplified and proven approach has told millions how easy it can be.
This book explains why diets don't work, the difference between fat and weight and why fat people eat less than thin ones. Most importantly, Bailey describes the use of the heart rate and how it can serve as a gauge for efficient exercise. Some other important points the book makes:
… Fat weighs little but takes up a lot of space
… Easier exercise burns fat
… More (exercise) is not better
… Fat can provide energy
… The myth of spot reduction
Bailey originally wrote the outline of the book as a simple guideline for a friend. When the idea came that it would make a good book, its helpful, personalized style remained. Although written for adults, it is simple and short enough for younger people to read and understand, and more importantly, help everyone avoid the many myths about exercise and diet.
