The 200 Calorie Solution

If you have a weight problem, you probably believe that you eat too much. Your doctor may have told you this, and certainly every diet book does. But it may not be true; and your usual remedy, repeated low-calorie dieting, may be making you fatter and fatter whenever you stop dieting and start to eat like a normal human being.


This breakthrough book shows you how to end the vicious circle of diet and despair. It shows you how to compare the contribution of your eating style versus your activity habits to your weight problem, and demonstrates that simply increasing your activity output by 200 calories a day is your ultimate fat solution.


The author was once seventy pounds overweight. He then became director of the Vanderbilt University Weight Management Program in Nashville, Tennessee, supervised the treatment of over 1,500 patients, and developed an activity and nutrition program to meet the special physical and psychological needs of overweight people. He will show you how to discover your hidden athletic talents, how to run or play at any active sport and experience less effort than it now takes you to walk around the block. It is a book full of new ideas, new recipes, confidence, and pride. You will, quite literally, never have to diet again.
