    Weight-loss industry's Big Fat Lies
    It's the controversial new diet book that claims we should be eating more saturated fat and exercising less to lose weight. It sounds impossible, but author David Gillespie claims we've been fed a bunch of unhealthy lies in the pursuit of weight loss. We consult the experts on the bold new claims.
