Summary

Many Americans are concerned about their weight. While an alarming percentage of adults, teens, and even children are considered overweight, researchers have found that preoccupation with body shape and size is most common among people of normal weight. Such skewed body image can lead to unhealthy choices, including trying diet pills. Diet Pills explores various types of diet pills, their makers’ claims, and the potential dangers associated with use. Along with information about the various pills, readers will learn how to manage their weight in safe, effective ways—and to feel better about their bodies and themselves.
