Book excerpt: Abstract: A complete week-by-week diet and exercise program arranged around different themes for each week of the year is presented in this comprehensive guide to weight loss and permanent weight control. A 90-day exercise plan progresses through four levels of intensity-flexibility, firmness, strength, endurance-to a maintenance program designed to reach and maintain peak fitness. Detailed descriptions and diagnosis are provided for a variety of each type of exercise. Food, nutrition, and diet-related topics that are examined include 1) behavior modification, 2) emotional and cultural dependencies on food, 3) guidelines for low-calorie food and drink preparation, 4) attraction of quick weight-loss schemes, 5) vegetarian diets, 6) nutritional needs of pregnancy, 7) importance of breakfast, and 8) the role of appetite in regulating food intake. Selected diet organizations (i.e. Weight Watchers International, Diet Workshop, TOPS Club, Overeaters Anonymous, Diet Control Centers, Lean Line, Diet Center, Trums Clubs) and their basic principles and sample menus are described. Background information is presented on major classes of nutrients (i.e. proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals) and disorders associated with overweight. Tables show nutrient requirements, functions, and food sources; desirable weights for men and women; and the Recommended Dietary Allowances and Estimated Safe and Adequate Allowances for selected nutrients.
