Charleston, SC, March 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- “Losing weight” has always been a nebulous concept; how can there be a one-size-fits-all solution to a problem that affects every person differently?
Accomplished physician Don L. Abernethy, Jr., M.D. is proud to announce the release of his new book, which sheds light on the most-asked weight loss questions and provides some medical clarity on what can work for people based on a current review of established medical literature and clinical trials from the perspective of a physician’s experience and knowledge of how the body works and disease processes develop. Readers can expect answers to questions like:
- Is there one diet that is better for losing weight?
- How do I figure out how many calories to try to stick to?
- Is weight loss just simply taking in less and burning more calories?
- What are the health consequences of being overweight?
- How do I choose a diet that will work for me?
“This book answers all these questions and gives patients a practical, no-nonsense plan to affect a permanent lifestyle change that will combat the most ominous health epidemic in America: obesity,” asserted Dr. Abernethy.
Push Yourself Away from the Table: No-Nonsense Facts on Weight Loss is available for purchase online at Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com.
