We have weight loss and diet books a dime a dozen. Then what sets apart this book: Losing It .

What sets it apart is that the book is the result of 2 authors: Dhruv Gupta and Prachi Gupta who are talking from practical experience and not just platitudes or research conclusions.

The entire book is systematically divided into an entire gamut starting from “Why lose weight?” to exploring the various facets that add to the entire scenario of weight gain to exercise.

The initial chapter defines what exactly is healthy weight and explores weight vis a vis fitness. It then talks about is there really a need to lose weight.

The next chapters explore in details the small aspects of our daily life and our food that add to our weight. They also talk about the various health food myths and diet fads.

A chapter is particularly devoted to debust the myths about some “weight gain foods” and one about “weight loss foods”, and in detail is explored the "supposedly healthy foods".

What is unique about this book is that after these chapters talking about ‘health food and diets and myths” it goes on in the next chapters to talk about various unavoidable aspects of our life and that is “healthy eating out”, “why weight loss fails” and “what other aspects can make you lose weight”.

And what really endears this book to me is that its concluding chapters talk about “exercise”, “exercise myths” and importance of “exercise for fitness”, plus the fact that like any scientific paper, the authors have listed the sources of research. This makes the book all the more scientifically credible.
