| From Publishers Weekly The result of 6，000 letters received from readers of Prevention in response to the question "How did you lose weight--and keep it off?，" this book calls on the experiences of "the biggest informal research group we'd ever heard from" to offer moral support and specific advice to other potential readers. Some of the advice: take exercise regularly， especially walking， and particularly right after meals; eat many small meals each day， rather than three large ones， avoiding red meat and sweets， and concentrating instead on vegetarian offerings; learn how to read food labels so you won't be duped by the apparently nutritive. And pursue variety to avoid the oppression sometimes induced by a virtuous regimen. The book invites reader participation with quizzes and informal testimonials: "Boredom was my excuse for avoiding the NordicTrack machine in the basement，" confesses a dieter in Newark， Del.， who solved her problem by drawing a "snowy woodland scene" as a mural on the basement wall. Friendly， hopeful and pragmatic， the volume is likely to give help to those who need it. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information， Inc. |
