Author and Fit Advocate Exposes, Exercise Equipment Infomercials, Weight Loss Scams, More in New Book

(PRWEB) June 4, 2007 -- Fit advocate and former fitness industry insider Craig Pepin-Donat takes on weight loss products, infomercials hawking cheap home exercise equipment, scary diet drugs, shoddy fitness club practices, and much more in his new book, The Big, Fat Health and Fitness Lie: Enrich Your Life and Improve Your Health without Getting Ripped Off in the Process.



For years, through shoddy practices in the fitness industry, people have spent their hard-earned money on products and exercise equipment that guarantee impossible weight loss or fitness results. Shockingly, the very industries that promise to improve health have actually deceived the public and are sabotaging their efforts. The Big, Fat Health and Fitness Lie exposes the industries and companies that profit at the expense of health and everyone’s pocketbook. However, the information does not stop there. The book is full of insights, recommendations and resources to get people back on the path to a healthy and fit lifestyle — permanently.

Fit advocate Craig Pepin-Donat (www.fitadvocate.com) walked away from a career as top fitness industry executive and millions of dollars in guaranteed income to reveal the big, fat health and fitness lie. The Big Fat Health and Fitness Lie will:

•    Protect from the scams, rip-offs and outright lies of unscrupulous companies
•    Expose the dirty little secrets of the weight loss, diet, supplement, fitness, health care and pharmaceutical industries
•    Show how to attack weight loss—safely and permanently—without the use of drugs or fad diets
•    Reveal step-by-step how to create a healthy and fit lifestyle
•    Save you thousands of dollars on products that do not work
•    Provide hundreds of valuable resources on the path to better living

Renowned physicians, fitness experts, investigative journalists, best-selling authors and celebrities including model Cindy Crawford who said, “Valuable information essential for anyone interested in improving their health,” endorse the new book.

The Ralph Nader of the health and fitness industry, Pepin-Donat does not shrink from naming names. Taking on TrimSpa, Bally Total Fitness, Curves and others, Pepin-Donat recommends the best diet and nutrition plans for weight loss, home exercise equipment, fitness clubs, guides, and resources as well as details on his own effective regimen for optimal health. Sharing inspirational stories drawn from the lives of his own family members, Pepin-Donat offers an invaluable tool for anyone who is ready to take responsibility for improving their health.
