This program is based on understanding the impact of calorie intake and exercise on YOUR body. Everyone is different in their preferences, their lifestyle and the balance of energy intake they need to lose weight. This program helps you understand how your own body works and to develop a healthy program that you are most likely to maintain.

The approach of this program is consistent with the principles of weight loss proposed by leading Health Authorities such as:

•  the US Department of Health and Human Services,
•  the American Heart Association,
•  the American Obesity Association and
•  the National Weight Control Registry (a database of people who have self-reported a weight loss of 30 pounds or more and have kept it off for at least a year).

Health research also suggests that by achieving a healthy weight as measured by Body Mass Index, you will reduce your risk of a wide range of health problems - especially type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, stroke and arthritis.

This program is the systematic application of old knowledge that has become hidden in the mass of noise about "dieting".

With 66 percent of American adults being overweight and 33% of these being obese, weight loss is becoming a major social challenge.

The information in this book should be a part of everyone's common knowledge and life skills.

This book will enable you to achieve what so many people will not - that sense of achievement and well-being that comes from looking your very best through healthy control over your weight, your body, and your life.
