Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Paperback. 2nd Edition. Updated and easier to use! We are continually subjected to outrageous ads like: "Lose 18 lbs in 3 weeks!" And implying that this applies to everyone. Really - what nonsense! Researchers have long known that weight change in humans depends on age, gender, height, weight, activity, caloric intake and time on a diet, but an equation that predicted weight change in humans had never been developed. Most scientists also agreed that weight loss was governed by the first law of thermodynamics. Then fitness enthusiast Dr. Vincent Antonetti, an engineer and an expert in thermodynamics and computer science, reasoned that by applying the first law of thermodynamics to humans it should be possible to do an analysis of weight change in human beings. Professor Antonetti's goal was to develop an equation that predicted weight change in humans. The first part of this book traces, in easy-to-understand language, his fascinating journey toward that goal. At the time, he was managing an engineering group at IBM. So he worked early mornings and evenings on the new equation. It took him two years to develop and verify the first and only weight change predictive equation. His results were published in a paper entitled, "The equations Governing Weight Change in Human Beings," in the prestigious American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. But Dr. Antonetti went a step further. He used a computer to produce easy-to-use tables which provided diet options for a personalized weight loss or maintenance program. The tables, coupled with sound diet information, were the basis for the original Computer Diet. At the urging of the editors at NoPaperPress he wrote an updated version: The Computer Diet - U.S. Edition. The original Computer diet was critically acclaimed by Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Consumer Union magazine, etc., but we think this book is even better. The Computer Diet - U.S. Edition is serious business. It's a sensible, healthy, well-balanced plan that your physician will approve of. It will be as valid years from now as it is today, because The Computer Diet - U.S. Edition is a classic - and timeless. CONTENTS1.
