The Diet Joke Gets Ready To Bust Some Guts
It’s no secret – America is too fat, and moving (or is that sitting) in the wrong direction. The statistic has become cliché: two-thirds of adult Americans are overweight or obese. Everyone from our doctor to our government to our television warns us of the risks of obesity. Still, the collective waistline of America keeps expanding.
Why the disconnect? Lisa Pedace, author of the award-winning The Diet Joke, says our mailbox is a good example. Advertisements for meal plans, diet pills and lap bands arrive alongside the latest value-menu from the fast-food joint down the street. We’re bombarded with messages to stop eating and eat more at the same time. No wonder many of us are discouraged when it comes to losing weight.
“It’s been said the first thing people lose when they go on a diet is their sense of humor. The other thing we sometimes lose is our hard-earned cash,” Pedace says. “So I wrote a funny book to help people who need to lose weight keep their sense of humor intact and keep their money in their pockets.”
Unlike most diet books that present strict regimens and recipes, this entertaining guide teaches us to take control of the choices we make. Filled with information, humor and simple reprogramming activities, The Diet Joke offers sound advice alongside hilarious observations about the way we eat and diet. It is a laugh-out-loud, common-sense approach to better health that begins with paying attention and ends with taking responsibility for our choices.
The Diet Joke was recently named Winner in Diet/Food/Nutrition Category of the 2010 Next Generation Indie Book Awards. ForeWord Reviews says, “Lisa Pedace hilariously highlights the contradictions of an America equally in love with big portions and skinny bodies.”
