Today we are urged from all sides to slim down & shape up to shed a few pounds or lose life-threatening stones.

Combining research from medical journals letters articles & the dieting bestsellers we continue to devour (including one by an octogenarian Italian in the sixteenth century) Foxcroft reveals the extreme & often absurd lengths people will go to in order to achieve the perfect body from eating carbolic soap to chewing every morsel hundreds of times to a tasteless pulp. This unique & witty history exposes the myths & anxieties that drive today's multi-billion pound dieting industry
