The only thing that should be fat on your job is your paycheck. There is
a huge worldwide obesity problem. While fads and quick-fix diets
abound, they fail to address an important question in weight gain today:
Is your job making you fat? The answer is yes. This bold assertion is
based on a great deal of global research that continues to confirm a
compelling relationship between working and weight gain.
The powerful link between the workplace and the waistline is due to
numerous factors, including the sedentary nature of today's jobs, the
onslaught of unhealthy foods that are constantly foisted upon employees,
higher levels of job stress, longer and more demanding work hours, peer
pressure, new and unconventional jobs, and even more. Put it all
together, and you have the perfect storm for weight gain.
Is Your Job Making You Fat? not only identifies and analyzes all of
the central sources of weight gain associated with work but also
provides highly effective steps to control this ever-expanding problem
and help you lose weight. Authors Ken Lloyd and Stacey Laura Lloyd offer
a new approach where you apply your businesslike mind-set and skill set
to weight management. After all, at work you have a plan that includes
objectives, benchmark dates, strategies, priorities, deadlines, and
measurable results. This book shows you how to use this same methodology
to take charge of your weight.
