I want people to understand that to avoid weight gain and health problems, you don't have to go on some fad diet or starve yourself. I think all this does is provide them with a healthy way to do it rather than [with] fad diets or restrictive-eating plans or "over-exercise" regimes. Part of the outstanding "ACSM Action Plan For Health" series, Larry Durstine's Action Plan For High Cholesterol: Your Guide To Preventing Plaque And Maintaining A Healthier Heart is to be particularly commended for its "reader friendly" text providing practical, methodical, effective, and proven cholesterol-controlling exercise program that is far superior to the usual fad diets or too-true-to-be-true reduce weight at any cost shortcuts. |
