Ultimately, we can weigh no more than what
we swallow -- the body can only retain weight
from what we eat and drink, it does not manufacturer
it from thin air. However, simple starvation
or radical deprivation is not the answer
to losing weight since the body has nutritional
demands that must be met in order to remain
healthy and active -- indeed, in order to
remain alive.
Therefore, dieting is a matter of consciously
selecting that which we eat and drink in
order to minimize the unnecessary and maximize
the necessary and advantageous intake. This
section on dieting is designed to help you
learn more about your options for doing so.
It bears repeating that diet
alone is not
the solution. To be healthy and
fit, a person
must also exercise, so we encourage
you to
look for well rounded programs
that include
and complement exercise. As with
any health-related
undertaking, we also encourage
you to see
your doctor before beginning.
