Making Weight by Arnold Andersen
The negative body-image epidemic that affects millions of women is also a hidden problem for millions of men. In spite of a decade-long emphasis on health and fitness - or perhaps because of it - more men are suffering from a variety of eating disorders and self-abusive behaviors. Using vignettes from their patients, the authors present a new program to help men overcome these problems. They offer ways to enhance self-image, facts about why diets fail, information about the dangers of using steroids, and a section for women who want to help the men in their life.
Arnold Andersen is a professor emeritus from the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine and an adjunct lecturer at Johns Hopkins Medical School. Andersen is the world's leading authority on eating disorders in men.

Dr. Andersen has appeared on a number of national television programs in which he has discussed eating disorders, and he has been quoted in numerous publications, including The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, and The New York Times.
