Focusing on long-term weight control rather than short-term diets, this book integrates nutrition, exercise, behavior-modification skills, and mental self-help techniques to achieve successful weight management
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
By taking into consideration the physical, social, and cultural factors in obesity, Krull has developed an all-encompassing approach to weight control. The 16-week program combines exercise, diet (high complex carbohydrate, low fat), and the use of behavior modification techniques. The text is full of self-tests that allow for individual preferences and needs. For example, the "diet" can be one of moderation, the use of a set menu, or calorie counting. Daily recording of eating behavior, working with a support person, exercise, etc. are mandatory. Although these requirements seem almost excessive in the level of detail and the time involved, they are, nevertheless, the program's greatest strength. Recommended for the truly dedicated dieter.
