Everything You need to Know About Fat Loss

Author: Chris Aceto
ISBN: 0-9669168-6-7
Summary: I debated whether
to add this book to AromaWeb's book shelf area as it doesn't pertain
to aromatherapy and the title alone implies false claims. No book
can include "Everything You Need to Know" on any given
subject and I resent it when publishers and authors that make such
exaggerated claims. Although skeptical, I took a chance and bought
this book over 2 years ago and was pleased with the useful and thought
provoking information on fat loss that I found within its pages.
