Reviews

Working with with the editors of Consumer Reports Books, Jonas, professor of preventitive medicine at SUNY-Stonybrook and author of The I Don't Eat But I Can't Lose Weight-Loss Program ( LJ 6/15/89), has put together an exceptional weight-loss guidebook. Outlining a "Pathway Up" (how and why one gains weight) and a "Pathway Down" (how and why one can lose weight), he encourages dieters to adapt his lifestyle guidelines, which are based on solid, universally accepted nutrition and exercise programs, to their own personal goals. Jonas offers tips for healthy eating, shopping, and cooking, but he does not includes recipes. Charts for exercise plans feature information on various sports and exercise equipment. With an excellent section of suggested readings and general references, this very detailed guide is strongly recommended for consumer health collections.
