The original meaning of "diet" is "a mode of living" and this is what this book is all about, providing the keys to establishing a way of life which will promote at attractive weight and maintain good health. The basic principle is that weight and health, like money, have to be managed carefully.;This book is based on an idea of regarding eating and exercise as debits and credits on a current account. The more put into the account in terms of exercise, the more can be taken out in terms of eating what one likes - and still lose weight.;Providing information on metabolism and calories that are needed to be able to work out an eating and fitness programme tailored for a person's personal needs, the book also shows how to build regular exercise into a day-to-day routine and still eat normally.
